I think it's the law to photograph your child eating spaghetti bolognese.

Or something like that. I could go and look at the pack but it's too far away...
Basically they are smaller than normal Shredded Wheat, so they're easy for the babies to hold onto. Obviously they're wheat, but salt-wise there's just a trace measurement so that's fine. I just microwave them for five seconds in a splash of cows' milk (because We Are One, y'know), so  they absorb the milk and soften a little. Babybear eats about fifteen of these in a sitting, she loves them with a banana. Good news, as Babybear was becoming - dare I say it? - a little bored with porridge pancakes. More to the point, they are pretty clean breakfast so essential for those morning when a quick getaway is required.


Post Script
Littleducks from Mumsnet has pointed out that it was she who told me about Mini Shreddies, and has therefore demanded due credit. (Diva.)
View Article  Pomegranate

Just discovered that pomegranate segments ( the small wee bits inside -  segments, seeds dunno? )  make a great finger food. I think that pomegranates are just the best thing ever so I’m really glad that Boomer has also taken a liking to them. The only thing is that they are possibly the most expensive fruit  but worth it. Pomegranates are one of these things that you see listed as super foods , and I do think they are just super too. Apparenty they are a natural contraceptive too, don’t know what quantities you have to eat though – or maybe you don’t eat it ….must stop there.

 

It doesn’t mention pomegranates specifically in the allergy food guides so not sure if its one of these dangerous fruits or not – anybody got a clue?
