To give My homemade mashed up food?

[Evilwater]

To my almost 8 month old. p thinks I'm trying to poison him, by giving him what we eat, but mashed up.

Last night was burgers, which are traceable to the cow and a just mince. Tonight spag Bol.

Evil?

Nope. As long as you don't add salt to your cooking until it gets to the table and are careful about the salt content of things like stock cubes it's fine.

Why would it be evil? If it is made from scratch and hasn't got too much salt in it then it will be perfect.

I think it may depend on how much salt (which includes any sort of stock cube) you add to your food whether it is suitable for a baby or not.

As long as all the ingredients are suitable for an 8 month old (ie no salt), and the child likes it, I see no problem at all - it will help the child get familiar with lots of different tastes and textures.

Sorry what is tbe question?

I didn't even bother mashing it up! DS is still alive at 3.

I'm intrigued as to how your burgers are traceable to the cow though.

Thank you! P is BU!!

YANBU That's what I did! Didn't do my strapping 6ft 13 year old any harm. What does he think you should be feeding little one.

Local butchers will sometimes know, Justfornow

I think its useful for adults as well - no adding salt to things before cooking is a good discipline.

it's

NB If you do baby led weaning with spag Bol you may need to hose down the baby, kitchen, high chair, dog ...

I was wondering if the OP was a farmer

That's what I did with my DC - mashed up previous night's dinner. What on earth is DP suggesting you feed him?

Best way to introduce him to a variety of tastes. As he gets older you can mash less so he gets textures too.

Excellent.

Show him this thread then and perhaps some internet research?

Btw, we can see your name above each post you make.

Baby food is handy at times but I gave mine our food mashed up. It was freshly prepared and I knew exactly what was in it.

Feed him the baby food and ask him to choose. Bland, boring, overpriced babyfood or mummies home cooking?!?

You can buy baby stock cubes (heinz do some) if you want to add that. I always used veg water to add liquid and threw away out of date stock cubes.

We did a bit of everything. Own mash, jars, ella's kitchen pouches, BLW etc. Then you'll always be able to grab something in an emergency or if you're out of your usual routine.

I wondered why the OP kept saying "evil" at the end of every post too..

Farmer Evil.

No my first had baby jars as was busy working and I ate later, second had what we ate mashed up, couldnt afford the jars.I don't cook with salt. If we were having processed food which wasn't very often would just give her mashed up veg or potatoes.

I wouldn't have bothered mashing the burger just gave him thinks like that to throw around chew on.

I think "proper" food when available is generally preferable to even the best jars
