Mumsnet Talk

ooh ooh oooh, me!!! (i will be doing blw though ) but am sure i can make use of one of these tools, and obviously comment on its usefulness in blw

done it. they aren't puree machines anyway so would love one!

am doing blw with 6 month old, but these products sound good for food prep for blw too!

Filled it out

I'd love one of these. Pretty please!!
Fab timing. Cracking open the baby rice this weekend so I'll need something soon to help with the endless chopping.

They sound good for food prep for adults too...

yes i'm not sure what the weaning angle is really. it's just food prep init? anyway, we shall see..

Do you need proof of a baby?

I have one of those and would like one of those! dd nicked a chip off my plate at Nandos today

Ann - did you mention to them that they are all totally unnecessary for weaning children?

Done it, DS2 is eight months and we're just getting going with finger food/ stuff he can grab.

Think they are going to have to broaden the test group. As well as chopping stuff up for DS2 I also want to prepare things more quickly for everyone but am never sure if the expensive processors are worth it.

I am actually planning on replacing our old crappy food processor in the next couple of months and everything, but nooooo, Kenwood only want mothers of very specific-aged babies, who don't need things pureeing any more than the rest of us do.

weaning ds is proving a bit of a rocky road. sometimes he is all about the finger food, sometimes he likes a bit of mush, but he's mainly still bfing ah well

But CatherineMumsnet, you are missing the point.

There is a wealth of research and evidence showing that if your baby is developed and ready for solids they don't need it to be mashed, pureed or spoon-fed. The ability to sit up, pick up food and bite, chew and swallow is the best indicator that your baby is ready for solids.

To go along with Kenwood in this is to imply that it is right/ok/necessary to mush food for babies, and this is just not the case.

Hand blenders are brilliant for making soups etc, but not needed for weaning a baby.

I would but my dd is only 3.5 months at the moment. How long is the test running for?

Ohh me please, have filled in! DS is having the occasional solid feed at the moment, but sometimes he won't take it... Fussy child
