Which page on Annabel Karmel would I find a recipie using IAMS catfood?

[Demented]

This morning I left my DS2 (10 months) downstairs and on the loose for about two minutes. When I came back down I found him beside the cat dish helping himself to some chicken IAMS!

I assume this wouldn't have done him any great harm but find it hard to understand how he can eat this then turn his nose up at something I have spent hours lovingly preparing.

Does anyone else have a child with odd tastes?

Try serving his usual food in a bowl on the floor

LOL Demented

My dd is the fussiest child ever when it comes to dinner time, I'm lucky if a spoonful goes down. She will eat paper, fluff, soil, cardboard basically anything she can find laying about. She much prefers breadsticks a couple of days old, she actually hides them in her toybox for later.
When my ds was 18 months he used to help me clean out the rabbits and I used to catch him eating rabbit poo.Yuck.Still makes me cringe now. He's also just as picky as his sister. Maybe it's just my cooking.

Does Annabel have any good receipes for drinks involving bathwater and bubble bath - seems to be the drink of choice for ds2

My child loves olives stuffed with raw garlic. She will insist that we ferret out the garlic for her and she will eat it first before chowing down on the olive. She get's hysterical at the sight of a cheeseboard (3rd word was cheeesssss). Currently her favourite is brie, though she is partial to gorgonzola and stilton. She also loves the slice of lime out of our gin and tonics and insists on smelling the cork out of the wine bottle.

Does Annabel Karmel do "The Gormet Baby Cookbook"?

Slug, sure your dd isn't the twin of my dd?? Her favourite foods are: olives, tapenade (sucked off the bread, which she then recycles), lemon slices, broccoli, brie, gherkins by the jar-load, salami, cherry tomatoes ... oh, and chocolate, when she can get her hands on it. On the other hand she has a screaming fit if you are so horrible as to put tomato or cheese sauce on her pasta.

These are great!

Used cigarette butts are a favourite of my ds. He eats literally anything but these he seems to make a bee line for. Especially the ones that have been on the road or pavement for weeks, trodden on, wee'd on by passing animals and generally run through the mill.

For some reason he doesn't bother with the cat biscuits in our house but he will at our friends house. Mine aren't IAMS. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong!!

Gravel (although I don't think any has actually gone in yet, I hope).
Tissues.
Bits of magazines/cards/envelopes/leaflets.
Her board books.
Bathwater.
Bits of kitty grit the cat has chucked around.
Bread we're feeding the ducks with (refused at two days ago breakfast).
Biro ink.
Bits over very old dried food that has fallen off the high chair.
Labels, she has always loved chewing on.

You can guarantee she will always eat these, but I can't think of a single item of actual food that she will always eat. I think I need the Annabel Karmel 'Where to hide your child's dinner round the house so they don't realise it's food and are therefore prepared to eat it' book.

PhilippaT - I had the same problem with my DS. It took me months to persuade him to share his stale bread crust with the ducks.

On the cat food front, we visited a friend, I got chatting, then discovered DS (aged 18 months at the time) had found the parmesan in the kitchen cupboard and sprinkled the cat food with it. Fortunately I intervened at this point...

I found my ds using the beakers he plays with in the bath to scoop out water from the toilet bowl - he was just lifting it to his mouth as I walked in to stop him.

Philippat, had to laugh your dds diet sounds exactly the same as my dds. She loves munching her way through a good board book. The old bits of food off the highchair is a huge favourite in our house. YUM

I discovered DS2 (9 months) was keen to use a spoon independently when I discovered him with a spoon in one hand and cat food round his mouth. I just managed to stop him shovelling another spoonful in.Yuck! He's still partial to the odd mouthful of Whiskas.
A friend of mine told me she'd found her 10 month old helping himself to some cat sick when they were staying at a relative's house.

Blimey these are GROSS!!! Especially the loo water and cat sick ones.

Sprout I've come to the conclusion that you and I were separated at birth. The sluglet also enjoys broccoli, as the traditional accompanient to chocolate icecream. She dips the broccoli in and sucks the icecream off it.

We don't have a cat, but we were at a friend's last weekend. They have Akitas (large husky like dogs, used in Japan as police dogs) We caught her cheerfully pushing the dogs dinner plate around the floor as the dog ate frantically trying to eat around her little fingers.

I used to quite like dry catfood when I was a kid. I'd probably try it today if you told me it was yummy. I can remember turning up my nose at the wet stuff, though.

I remember eating dog biscuits and doggie choc treats. I remember my brother's doing it too and they're older than me!

my ds was about a year old, and had crawled off into the front room on his own. Next thing i heard a crunching sound - i ran into the front room to find ds with the mangled remains of a snail hanging out of his mouth and the most disgusted look on his face (ds's, although i'm sure the snail wasn't too impressed). It must've crawled through the letter box hehe.

My friend was visiting her family's farm when her 2 yr old nephew appeared, with a bottle in his mouth. She said to his mum that she thought he'd given up bottles. His mum looked then shrieked "Omigod, he's drinking the pigs' semen!" and he was - it was for artificial insemination!!!

Suedonim, that's truly revolting!!

I feel ill after reading this!

I don't think anything can top that Suedonim!! LOL

now THAT is a STORY! ewwwwwwwww.

Now ladies, I suspect a few of us have tasted something similar in the past
