Does this home made baby food sound ok?

My grandmother said she fed all her children this for as breakfast when first introducing her babies to solid food for the first time and her mother did the same she’d take a small piece of bread from the centre of a loaf of bread pour boiling water on it then strain it then add a scoop of baby formula to it and the water from the soggy bread would dissolve the formula, then she’d add a tiny pinch of sugar and a tiny bit of butter, mix it around and she said it would be like cream like a really creamy consistency and that’s what she’d feed her babies for breakfast when first eating solids, she’d also give her babies a small taste of whatever she was eating “to build their taste buds so they won’t be fussy eaters”

No, it sounds like a lot of faff for absolutely no benefit. There is no good nutrition in that breakfast.

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 26/07/2023 09:46

No it doesn't. There's nothing of any benefit in there.

Sounds vile. What’s wrong with toast or porridge?

Buell · 26/07/2023 09:48

Absolutely not. Sugar, butter bread.

Zero nutritional value.

How old is your baby? Would you like some suggestions for first foods, weaning can be an overwhelming time.

piglet81 · 26/07/2023 09:48

I wouldn’t want to eat that, and my approach was always to give my son actual food that I would happily eat.

(Of course, after all my efforts he now only eats beans on toast…)

Just give them normal food. The solid starts app can be really useful.

@CopperSeahorses shes only 2 1/2 months she’s not Old enough for food yet just thinking ahead to when she is

Giving the baby whatever you're eating is good. That bread slop nonsense is just gross and pointless.

Sounds an awful faff for something that the only nutritional value at the end is the milk that's added. I agree with the giving tastes of everything part though (within reason re salt levels etc)

@Aquamarine1029 i did Google it just now and it’s actually a thing but I couldn’t find anything about giving it to infants the closest I could find was that it was something given to children as comfort food during illness particularly in the north of England it was called pobs
