butterbeans and aduki beans

[pookey]

I wanted to buy some tins of organic lentily bean type stuff but could only find butterbeans and aduki beans are they ok mixed in with mashed veg for an 8 month old?

Thanks v much if anyone knows x

Should be ok if you go gently - introduce just a little at first as he / she may be a bit young. Pulses are notorious for causing wind problems. If you are on the cautious side I would wait another couple of months. They don't need a lot of protein at this age whatever your hv might say - there is lots in whatever milk they are having, and also a useful amount in carbohydrates.

Sorry reread your post - are they tinned? Avoid any with salt in. Better to boil up your own IMO.

Was just going to post almost exactly what Franny said ...

Wind problems, Franny? Is this a personal observation?

Greeny, you are obsessed with my arse today

By all accounts, Franny, you have no arse to speak of

Thanks, they are salt free but will give packets a go next time. Will try them and see what happens - he loved lentils mixed with sweet potato (couldnt find organic lentils in waitrose). Maybe i will stick to lunch for beans and not mix them with broccers, dont want him up all night with a windy bottom

Yes avoid cauliflower, sprouts and cabbage too pookey.

Please ignore this rude person crashing your thread to make personal remarks about me, pookey. Unfortunately when you are as popular as I am on this site you get some terrible jealousy stirred up - it's very sad

short-arsed fartbag

"Short-arsed"???

Never been called that before. Have you gone delirious Greeny, it's all that digging, dear. you must take it easy.

'tis true - I nearly had an out-of-body experience digging the damn pumpkin patch. Think cow dung and clay, baked hard in the sun - like breaking rocks on a chain gang

but you is still a farty beanqueen
