Babies & Inventive Eating Techniques

Over the past few months we’ve seen Poppet do a few really funny things with food. There was the face planting on her tray to eat yoghurt, and the spaghetti dangle. But today she had us in absolute stitches with her inventiveness. Normally we use cloth bibs but we’d run out, so ‘G’ got out her solid plastic ‘pelican mouth’ bib. You know the kind, they have that scooped mouth at the bottom to catch falling food. Anyway, it kept Poppet entertained for a while – she spent ages gazing at the bits of dinner (meatloaf, peas, broccolli and mash) and then she lifted the bib, dropped her bottom lip underneath it, and lifted the bib some more. And hey presto! In rolled a pea, then some meatloaf :) Luckily I had my phone to hand so we managed to get some snaps the second time she did it. Soup for lunch tomorrow………!
