Meal Planning

I've put an example of the dairy free meals that T ate last week. He's nearly 9 months old now, and quite happy eating a range of lumpy textures, and feeding himself finger foods. 

Getting ready for lunch - mashed potato, chopped strawberries, nectarine and banana 

I'm not a dietician, so I cannot claim that this is the most perfectly balanced meal plan ever! I think that there is a good mix of the major food groups, and he's offered fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. Keeping a dairy diary means I have a good overview of his diet each week, so I can alter it as needed. 

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner	Snacks
Mon	Weetabix 1/2 Banana	Dairy free fish pie, Coyo yogurt	Butternut squash and red lentils, sliced apricot	Rice cakes with cashew nut butter
Tues	Ready brek, strawberries	Creamy chicken casserole, cherry tomatoes	Avocado on toast & butternut squash “chips”	Satsuma
Wed	1 egg omelette	Turkey burgers with sweet potato mash	Creamy tomato pasta stars,  Coyo yogurt	Dried apple rings
Thu	Weetabix,  pear slices.	Cottage Pie, butternut squash “chips”	Chicken and broccoli pasta, strawberries	Rice cakes with mashed avocado
Fri	Toast with dairy free spread, blueberries	Butternut squash and red lentils	Dairy free fish pie, cucumber slices	1/2 Banana
Sat	Dairy free pancakes	Reduced Salt baked beans, toast	Cottage pie, coconut rice pudding	Sliced pear
Sun	Ready brek, sliced nectarine	Turkey burgers with sweet potato mash	Tomato pasta stars with tuna	Strawberries and rice cakes

Most of the meals are kept in the freezer, so all I have to do is defrost one when needed, and cook some vegetables or slice some fruit to go with it.
