Cauliflower and Brocolli bake.

Wanting to make this for my 7 month but not sure how. Anybody have any suggestions and should i be using formula milk or cows milj to mix with foods.

[CultureSucksDownWords]

Whole cow's milk is fine in cooking (and on cereal or similar) from 6 months, so there's no need to use formula for cooking. I would just make it however you normally make it, but don't add any salt and you could use unsalted butter to make the white sauce.

I often used cheese like emmental in food at this age as it has the lowest salt content of cheese that I could find.

Thanks was the cheese bit i wasnt sure about. Dont know why but im wary of giving her dairy.

[CultureSucksDownWords]

Unless you've got a family history of allergy then dairy is unlikely to be a problem, particularly cooked dairy products which are less likely to cause an issue anyway.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Agree with culture completely. Full fat cows milk is fine in cooking from 6 months and just make it however you usually make it but without added salt.

Is there a particular reason you are wary of dairy? Has she had problems with bm or ffing?

[dicko1]

No no particular reason. Just always had it in my mind to be wary of dairy. Maybe over protective x

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

So there's been no problem with reacting to your bm or to formula then? I think if there was a problem with dairy it would have sown up long before now

[dicko1]

Thanks for the reasurance. made it shes going to try it for tea x

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Let us know how she gets on and remember, it's the first time she will have ever seen it probably let alone tasted it So she may not finish the whole plate

[dicko1]

She spat out the first few spoons but always does when trying new things. But she really enjoyed it . Defo a hit and ive freezed a few days worth.
Any others i can do?

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Have you had a look at MN weaning recipes? There's some good ones in there. Glad she liked it too although you do know that it means she won't eat it next time

[dicko1]
