Giving 7 month old pizza for tea

[Riddlemethisplz]

Tea time is approaching and dc1 has been asking for pizza. With solids for dc2 we’re pretty much giving him what we have as finger food and he’s doing really well. But pizza, is that ok?

for the record it’s not a takeaway pizza, will be shop bought pizza base with homemade sauce and toppings, probably no meat as we don’t have any in.

Sorry your baby munched on cat food, how did that happen ?

What do you mean how did it happen? The cats didn't eat all their breakfast and he crawled over at lightning speed whilst I answered the door. I suspect it's a pretty common thing to happen in a house with a child and a pet.

You really cant imagine a scenario where a baby quickly crawls over to the cat bowl and nibbles at a kibble, or a dog treat, or earth or grass???

@Beees i don’t think that’s a common occurrence , I have two cats an that’s never happened but I tend to see situations arising before they happen. Why did you leave baby in the same room. Anyway not going to get into an argument with you. Should I feed my 7month old baby pizza? The answer would be NO

I’m very hard on myself and thought it wasn’t the right thing to be giving him, dh told me I was being ridiculous. Sometimes we all need sounding boards, however i don’t think I’d give it him again based on the solid starts link someone shared and I actually feel awfully guilty. He’s been projectile vomiting today (him and me covid related) but I’m blaming myself

We have pizza night with cucumber sticks and chopped up baby tomatoes, you can add peppers, celery, anything you like

@Riddlemethisplz don’ t me to hard on yourself it’s just babies can digest pizza very well. I didn’t want to offend you just wanted to warn you of the dangers

Can’t digest i mean

You have nothing to feel guilty about.

None taken sweet! It’s just when you start talking to god on the big white telephone your food choices flash before your eyes 😫

Anyway I’m sorry to hear it an I hope your baby makes a rapid recovery. I’m sure everything will be absolutely fine, it can upset them for a couple days just needs time to clear out the system. Then be right as rain

@SwitcH123 homemade pizza with a veg topping is full of great nutrients though. The recommendation of one is aimed at the salt and nitrate content of store bought pizza.

Doughy pizza crusts are also suggested for young babies starting weaning alongside things like chicken drumsticks and corn on the cob. Realistically they aren’t consuming much of the crust but it is a great resistant food for mapping the mouth and practicing chewing. The crust, served alongside the chargrilled veg picked off the top is a perfectly good meal for a weaning baby.

I gave Dd anything she could eat, all in moderation, except for the slug I caught her happily munching on when she was about 1, or the time she ate her own poo.
Disgusting child..she's perfectly fine at 20.

So you wouldn’t give an under one tomato pasta sauce? That’s ridiculous

unclench and feed your poor baby a pizza

I used to do this around this age for DS but with a bread base.

It was an Ella's Kitchen recipe and he loved them!

Not sure I understand the wraps over bread (I.e wrap over sandwich). Surely a shop bought wrap is much more processed than bread?

You said the pizza was too acidic meaning the tomato sauce.

Whats the difference between the tomato sauce being put on pasta and the tomato sauce being put on bread, still has the same levels of acid in it (not very much as it happens)

@StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 ok then thats a very good achievement well done.

Whats the difference between the tomato sauce being put on pasta and the tomato sauce being put on bread, still has the same levels of acid in it (not very much as it happens)

There isn’t one.
I think people who consider pizza an unhealthy and hard to digest food haven’t made or even eaten a proper pizza before. They’ve just been sticking goodfellas frozen deep pan pepperoni pizzas in the oven and think that’s what all pizzas are.

Her baby being sick has literally no correlation to eating a bit of home made pizza. Stop acting as if it does.

@Ohshitiveturnedintomymother

There is nothing poor about my baby she eats better than yours do clearly and actually a lot of pasta sauces are bad for babies under one year too so do your research

Basically, OP, if you do BLW you can get some home made bread, a spoon of tomato sauce, a pinch of grated cheese and some peppers and present it all nicely separated to your 7 month old to crack on with and try - but whatever you do, do not let them layer these things on top of each other in a pizza fashion before eating. Sickness will ensue…

@miltonj it was not home made she brought it from the shop. An how do you know, even if it isn’t the main cause it’s still not going to help with the Babies recovery. They find it hard to digest shop brought pizza. It’s a fact I’m not saying it to be a see you next Tuesday. I’m saying it because it’s true

The advice on this thread is insane. Of course babies under one can handle meals with more than one component mixed together at a time. Homemade pizza dough is flour, yeast and water. I can’t see how it’s any different from giving a child under one pasta.

The risk of pizza for young babies is in the soft, wet base. When babies chew on it it can get too chewy and be a choking risk. The melted cheese is also a choking risk before about nine months. It’s absolutely nothing to do with the ingredients of a homemade pizza and it’s absolutely nonsense to say so.

The ingredients of homemade pizza provide great nutrients so please don’t worry OP.

Not really, just a normal, non hysterical parent who knows that bread, tomato and cheese are perfectly fine foods.
