I have just one quick tip tonight: Peas.
Whenever peas are on the menu, I keep a bowl of them covered up in the fridge for leftovers. Inevitably sometime in the next few days a time comes when the Mrs. and I have to scramble for something to make for dinner, and the baby will commence to wailing.
Feeding her good food means we can't throw her some pre-packaged, sugary, processed junk.
The food has to be real... and as much as she'd love it we can't just feed her bananas all the time. Heres the magic: It takes her quite a while to manipulate a plateful of individual peas into her little mouth one at a time. On days when she's particularly grumpy, this is a handy thing to know!
High-chair, handful of peas. Bam. She even likes them cold. This buys us ample time to prepare actual dinner, and she gets to hang out with us in the kitchen and not be underfoot.
Brilliant!
