hi ladies....

thought it might be a good idea to share some recipies for weaning/first foods,even if your past that stage what did your lo's like?

im weaning bronia now and she has packet food now and again but would like to make every meal a fresh one....

at the min i give her fruit purees,mango,bannana,apple,etc... have tried her on cauliflower and brocili but it is deffinately not a hit! i usualy mix the meals with a lil of her milk to make it less dry,any other ideas as an alternitive?

add your own recipies please and we can all share!

thanks....

hey,

Well i just mix in whatever iv got lol

Raspberries,stawberries,cherries,melon,and blackberries mashed up and then added to babyrice is a huge hit with Kaydee

Tried mash and butternut squash today and she liked that!

Mixed veg (carrot/broccili/swede) is a good one

Finger foods kaydee has is rice cakes, rusks, ham, bread, and mini milks! (only a few weeks ago when it was baking hot out lol)

Im gonna try toast/cheese/sandwhiches/cucumber/banana (whole not mushed) and some others this month.

Its getting exciting now she can eat most things lol

a simple and easy one for all ages.  Potato hash.  Potatoes, peas, onion, carrots and corned beef all cooked together in gravy.  I cook the diced spuds first, then add the veg, once it's all cooked make the gravy using some of thewater the veg has cooked in.  Once mixed add the corned beef in very small chunks, mix again and leave to simmer for about half an hour.  This can be pureed to any consistancy from smooth to leaving it how it is.  All my kids loved it and i'll be makin it for aimee too.  I always made a bit extra so if lo couldn't have wot we were having i could use it.  Just put single servings into freezable dishes.
