Would like some honest veiws about how bad this is seen to be

[trinityrocks]

then I can decide if I would ever do it again or whether I should feel supremely guilty about having already done it.

Ok I just fed my 9 month old half a whizzed up can of ravioli!!!
My hubbys car broke yesterday and he took mine this morning, I forgot to ask my mil to get some food in and I had nothing else that I could sort out extra quick when I suddenly realised that the baby was trying to eat her own arm. How bad is this?????????????????

As a one off, it's fine. Better than starving!

(but not good on a regular basis because of the salt...)

On the grand scale of life, not a biggie, however I personally would be worried about salt content etc, and would only do it in dire circumstances, far better a fed baby, than a baby with only one arm, as had chewed the other one off

I wouldn't worry about it - you're not doing it for everymeal. I'd check the ingredients and salt levels and if they weren't too bad, perhaps they could have it every so often.

For goodness sake!

It's just a can of Ravioli.

Am I the only person thinking this?

I'm thinking that too mogwai.

I'm thinking that too mogwai.

I'm obviously thinking it twice as much as you

Don't sweat it. Obviously not something you would do regularly but as an emergency one-off it's not exactly the end of the world (although tinned ravioli just reminds me of school dinners anyway so... yuck )

for goodness sake, its food isnt it?

people in other countries look at me strangely when i tell them babies shouldnt have salt. most of us probably erent brought up on a no salt diet.

i fed my 8.5 month old a seekh kebab, only making sure the bits i gave him didnt have any green chillies in it, whilts next to me a woman fed her 8 month old mushy puree.......

Agree that it's OK as a one-off but people should be aware that too much salt in a very young baby can actually be dangerous.

It's fine. Not for every meal,but then organic blooming millet wouldn't be any good for every meal!

Wouldn't worry too much - just keep an eye out for allergic reactions & not introduce any new foods for a couple of days just in case. I'd be more worried about your own diet tbh - don't you have any fruit or veg in at all - don't you eat anything???

I think its bad that you whizzed it up, i'd have given it whole

You did good, in the circumstances, mum.
Don't punish yorself.
My son, 23 mths LOVES tinned ravioli, and has done since 8 mths.
Don't feel bad.
You are cool.
