Day 10 - Food means Peace.

Starting the girls on their first solids was a challenging step for me. At the time it was one of the most stressful things I had to do. Will they like it? What to do if they choke? How much food is enough? These were just some of the questions I asked frequently.

Now nearly 14 months on I haven't answered all of these questions but I do think feeding time is great!

It is like a bit of a zoo at times with all the noise and commotion while the food is being prepared, but mostly it brings me a little bit of peace. Which is a good thing considering one shouldn't talk with their mouth full.

Today I captured them eating one of their favourite yet messiest foods - yoghurt. I am sure if they could work it out how, they would lick the tub clean.

Here is some of the parenting advice I have heard about food: Food means Peace; Don't force them, they will eat if they are hungry and they will say no when they are full.
