About to try dd on corgette and gf said to mix with baby rice. Does this mean i make up baby rice with milk first or just mix the rice into the corgette?

I'm no expert but I would think you mix the rice with milk then add the corvette.

That's what i thought

You might want to read this before offering any more baby rice

Boggler do you think the corvette might be a bit hard to digest?

Ooo jiltedjohns I think a nice little red corvette might be quite nice to be weaned on

just read the article about baby rice! i had no idea! i thought i was doing the best thing

I would take that article with a pinch of baby rice.

Courgettes are lovely and soft.

We had some for dinner the other day and I steamed some slices for DD3, which she sucked and seemed to really enjoy.

Even if you do take the article with a pinch of salt, I wouldn't eat it and therefore wouldn't feed it to a baby. Why bother when there are so many other nice things to give them?

I don't base my baby's diet on what I eat.

I can't stand parsnips, but I just gave DD3 a bowl of mashed parsnip that she devoured.

DH got a bag of them in Tesco for 20p.

If I fed her the delicious food that I eat, she would not have a good diet for a 6 month old.

Rice flour is just a vitamin fortified thickener that doesn't contain gluten.

No more no less.

Unless you are ethically opposed to thickening gravy with flour, getting all worked up about it is ridiculous.

And linking to hysterical scare tactic articles for a woman who has been feeding her baby baby rice is unkind.

Baby rice has ARSENIC in it!! :o

So it's basically just like feeding your baby rat poison?

I think they mean add dry baby rice to the courgette as it is watery puree and the baby rice acts as a thickener
