Apple, broccoli, carrot, potato, banana Ok, might be too much variety for the first meal but we just wanted to have fun watching her do different face expressions. We gave her fruit between meals, so she in total had four meals the first day, we only skipped breakfast.
It was bit of a mess but not too much. Azra is insisting on the plastic dress. Maybe she's right, we had to change Tisa completely after the meal and Azra had to put all her clothes to wash. I think that maybe a plastic bib, with food collector also, could get the job done. So eventualy we decided to try with a bib.
We did not put anything on the floor under the chair, we just washed it after the meal as we washed the table. Having a baby eating above a carpet actually might be a problem, but wooden, stone or ceramic floor is easy to clean.
As we read online, the food waste could be an issue, but if you do not have problem eating a pieace of an apple after your baby sucked on it for a while, or give a wash to a carrot picked from the floor, then there is almost no waste.
As for the food, we didn't bother much, we cut food in long handy stick-like pieces and gave it to her. We think that she already swallowed some of it as we heard some gulp sounds! For the rest, she liked the apple very much, we overcooked broccoli, carrot and potatoe so she mostly mashed them and played with it on the table. I believe she thinks that these are soft tasteful toys, nothing else.
We gave her also a raw carrot and it appeared much more interesting to her. Next time we will cook vegetables hard as we are cooking for us. Banana is fun from the beginning but as more she licks, it gets more slippery and after a while she can not grip it anymore.
We tried to give her some water also, that she liked a lot. But we did not have a proper baby glass, instead we used small cups we found in the house (avoid glass). She could not manage it by her self, it was water everywhere. We ended up given it to her by holding the cup our selfs, it worked but we would like her drinking by using her own hands, so a baby cup would be necessary.
