u/GooseVirus

My 12 month old caught a cold or something and threw up on day one (Wednesday) then had a runny nose, cough and temperature (38 c) past two days. I caught it Friday and am already feeling mostly better but baby doesn't seem to be getting better seems to be getting worse.

He just drank breast milk and then threw it right back up and it's this colour. I'm having a hard time telling what's normal and what's go to hospital/doctor. Baby just lying on me falling back asleep.

Dinner for my 12 month old a sweet potato soup with buttery bread. I originally thought either food poisoning or vaccine symptoms but now we all have a cold and the timing was just a coincidence.

Breakfast weetabix and apple puree but he didn't eat any. I had a cheese and onion roll and he took that but I'm not sure if he ate much of it. He also had an ice lolly to hopefully soothe his throat. Lunch we just had chicken nuggets and hash browns and he nibbled on some.

Dinner I made a sweet potato soup. The recipe I was following didn't fit into my soup maker so I had to halve it. It still came out pretty tasty. It was 500g sweet potato, 1 onion, 1 leek, 2 tsp cumin, half tsp black pepper, 1/2 cup double cream, a stock cube and 1000 ml water.

Baby didn't eat any of the soup but ate some buttered bread. I'm quickly losing my sense of taste so I assume baby lost his yesterday and that isn't helping his appetite.

My 12 month old baby is very sick today. I'm not sure if it's a vaccine symptom or if he caught something outside but he was sick and crying all night and has a runny nose! On the plus side no one else in my family was sick so I didn't poison everyone with salmon.

For breakfast (not pictured) I gave him apple puree that I made using a can of apples but he was not pleased. Usually I use fresh apples and cinnamon but thought this might be a better way but he wouldn't eat it. I also did toast with butter and cut it into stars using a cookie cutter.

Lunch was reminding me of those sad gym meal pics with bland chicken and veg. I gave him chicken, boiled broccoli, and five strawberries. He loved the strawberries, and gave the broccoli a good munch. The chicken ended up being used to lure in a cat. Today he realized if he offers the cat food she will sit next to him so he kept giving her chicken. He's a bit confused as he tries to take the chicken away and feed it directly into her mouth but she isn't interested. He also tried to feed her broccoli. Then he tried to grab her tail so I had to put an end to that. I do worry he will never eat the chicken now that he knows it's power. After this he ate some bread and a bit more chicken as I tried to make myself a chicken sandwich and he wanted it.

Dinner did not go well. Because he was sick his sleep was all messed up and he would not have his nap even though he was exhausted. Dinner was cauliflower cheese. I think I messed up somewhere as it ended up way too thick and adding more milk didn't help. Tasted nice still. I accidentally made edamame as I meant to pour peas in the pot but then realized I'd grabbed the wrong bag so we had peas and edamame. I also did potato smiley faces which he ate half of one and he ate a handful of the peas. He didn't touch the cauliflower cheese so I put it the fridge to try for tomorrow's lunch. I think he was too tired to eat and his stomach seems unsettled still so he ate more than I expected today.

He was fast asleep when I started writing this then he just woke up crying. Another long night it's looking like.

12 month old.

Yesterday was chilli con carne, basmati rice and Greek yogurt. He didn't eat much only the rice and a little bit of yogurt. Don't think he even tried the chilli con carne. My family loved it.

Today I made "Asian Glaze" Salmon with BBCs Greek salad but I didn't have all the salad ingredient so had to sub stuff. I didn't realize the salmon needed to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour until it was time to cook so I had to make it without marinating. It still tastes nice but could have been better.

I forgot to take a before photo but he actually ate some salmon! I was very surprised. He also ate some tomato and big chunks of cucumber. He's started eating more since he was gifted a fork. With a spoon he always turned it upside down but with a fork he's finding it easier to get the food to his mouth.

He had his vaccines Monday so his appetite is not the best and he now has a runny nose. After eating tonight he was gagging and sick and took three hours to go to sleep. Slightly worried I've given everyone food poisoning but I'll find that out if I wake up sick.

Chinese chicken, sticky rice and spinach (he grabbed it before I could take the photo). I forgot to take an after photo but he devoured this meal. Had to give him extra rice because he was eating so much of it. Surprisingly loved the chicken usually when I give him bits of chicken he is won't touch it but he loved it as a drumstick.

Lunch today sweet potato mash with cheese and supremed orange. I also did two piece of sweet potatoes and some cheese on the side. I definitely made too much. I tried to do a cheese star and it didn't exactly take shape but it was the first but he ate.

I put some toys on the table when cleaning and forgot until he grabbed them and started using them to scoop mash.

12 month old. Mash, heinz ravioli, and broccoli. Forgot to defrost any meat and baby wouldn't have his afternoon nap so I did a quick simple dinner. He had more broccoli before I took the photo. I didn't steam the broccoli long enough so it was a little hard so he didn't approve. He liked the mash. I'm not entirely sure what he thought of the ravioli it would go in his mouth but whether he actually ate it I have no idea. Last photo is where most of the food ends up. He did eat more mash while I was doing the dishes I put his plate on the floor and he ate some and threw some on the floor.

Halfway through eating he had really saucey hands so I thought I would wipe them for him. He demanded the wet wipe and then tried to put it in his ravioli. So I took it away and he started crying so I gave it back which is why the after photo has no sauce and the floor photo has a wet wipe. I'm not sure why but anytime I put a wet wipe near him during food he'll insist on wiping his food.

Forgot to take an after. Cauliflower cheese, chicken kiev, and peas. Baby is 11 months but turns 12 months in two days so I tried him on full peas instead of flattened peas. He loved them and was eating big handfuls, he enjoyed the cauliflower cheese but kept turning his spoon so most fell off. I can't believe it's been a year in two days. This was the quickest and most amazing year of my life.
