feeding my 9 month old

[hazypops]

Hi does anyone know if i can give my 9mth old things like kids fishfingers, dairylea cheese spread, or kids made ready meals? - are they low in salt, im really worried about giving him too much salt. Any ideas
Thanks

what kind of food do you eat yourself, they all sound very kiddie-orientated. do you have other children?

fish fingers, dairylea, ready meals!!!!????
are you stirring it lady?!

I wasnt trying to be funny nickytwotimes. My son loves bread and i wondered if you could spread dairylea on it thats all. I actually make all my kids meals from scratch with fresh meat and veg every single day. But sometimes when things are rushed and dont have time or you are going on a picnic i just wanted to know if these things are low in salt.

ps. when i said kids ready meals i meant the baby stuff you get in jars.

i'd have thought there are better things than dairylea but fish fingers from birds eye are fairly additive-free and good for children apparently. and if you crack the breadcrumbs off it's really just a piece of fish at the end of the day. if by kids ready meals you mean lunchables i wouldn't give them to my dog, tbh, but i'd assume that a reputable children's range would be low in salt. although for speed there's not much to beat pasta, pesto and peas...

no need for jarred food at nine months old, really.

and i do much the same with a placky bag full of frozen leftovers, hazy.

thanks for your advice to all of you Nice people with nice posts. I have 3 children two girls aged 14 and 12 and a boy 9 months. So after the gap of 11 years i sort of forget stuff. Thanks again.

(Philadelphia 6000 times better than Dairylea)

thanks, you have just sold me on the bakeware, im popping off to get some today

Would you believe that the last time I saw my Health Visitor she bollocked me for not feeding DS exactly what I eat, (not always entirely appropriate if I'm eating crappy aduki bean stews and other weight lossy type foods!) and got all arsey because I give him Hipp a Biscs instead of Weetabix (less sugar and salt, good I thought?!!) She reckoned I should feed him Quorn and anything that you buy is ok so long as you don't add salt.

I thought she was talking arse to be honest. But going back to your original post I don't see the probs with giving babies the odd jar. My son's 9 months too and I always have some of those Hipp Organic jars in the cupboard for days when I just can't get my stuff together in time to cook. HTH!

Ha - I rarely can get within 100 yards of one! I phoned 3 weeks running to try to talk to one and got not a phone call back. Nada. Lucky I'm not depressed or owt!

I must admit i dont talk to my hv. I went to the local mother and baby group but there must have been around 40 mums all with babies and toddlers and guess what 1 health visitor and a few helpers. Well i waited for around half hour for advice on foods to give ds and got fed up so went to cafe for skinny latte. ds had a banana, not a latte!!
