Organic fruit and veg or not?

[mandymac]

I'm about to start pureeing and freezing, as we are starting to wean this weekend. Is it worth going for organic fruit & veg, or will well washed & peeled normal stuff be OK? We don't normally have organic and I'm sure after a few months dd will end up having more of what we eat, but for the first few months, is it worth spending more?

Melrose, a misunderstanding I think. What I was trying to say was we have organic and have and do feed my kids organic whenever I can (whilst maintaining a healthy balance of diff foods).

But Mandymac suggested that she'd prob only do for the first few months - and I thought what's the point of that. Either do it and continue, but I don't see any point in feeding a baby organic just for the first few months.

MI, I trust you to speak for me on most subjects.

My dd is 14 months - and can be fussy - at least by giving her organic stuff I know that she is getting 'good food' even if sometimes the portions are small.

Yes, I think it is. Govt advice apparently is to peel carrots, hmm, so that must be quite a bit of pesticide.
