DS2 is 20 weeks and I am 1 week into weaning at the suggestion of HV and GP. I want to give parsnips bect week and we are having some for sunday dinner. Can I puree them down for him or do I have to roast them seperatly?

Give him the ones you're eating unless to have added sugar to them.

No I don't add sugar but I do put them in the beef tray.

I wouldn't give him ones that have been in the beef tray.

could you cook a tray of roast parsnips separately, then puree and freeze? then yoy've got loads ready for next time

Why wouldn't you give the beef tray ones?


So long as the beef is cooked I don't see the harm to be honest.

just give him the ones you're having. unless they're smothered in sugar or salt they're fine.
no need to puree them either!

Well you're not supposed to give meat before 26wks.

But you're not giving him meat...only parsnips cooked in the juices, I don't think it will do any harm, my DD is very healthy and eats everything!

OK the same as us it is

saycheeeese - giving him the meat juices is the same as giving him the meat in tge fact that it's animal protein.

you can roast them in veg oil.

Meat juices are fine. It will add to the flavour.

I still don't see the problem TBH
