Custard

[sophiewd]

When, powder/ready made, what with can you freeze. Not a pudding cook so would like to know how anyone else has go on with it as DD is probably getting fed up with yogurt. Also where do you get those small pasta stars from. If not what pasta can i give her she is 7 months.Thank you in advance

you can get the little tubs of devon custard, not sure what i would freeze with tho. I give dd the fruit puree pots, C&G and the organix ones are really nice and i put in squirty cream or double cream. And I think you mean baby pasta when you say small pasta and the only one i know of is the Peter Rabbit make which is available in Tescos

Yellow colouring not a good idea for 7 month old.

Lots of flavours of yoghurt.

I have just introduced the low fat custard to ds, he is 10 months old, with apple pie of course, he loved it. I would wait till at least 9 months old before introducing custard imo.

I don't think either made-up powdered or carton custard would freeze well, but you can keep the carton stuff in a tupperware in the fridge for a couple of days. It's also possible to buy it in yogurt-size pots so you only need open a little bit at a time.

Personally I wouldn't bother with custard at all - have you read the ingredients?! And if you're not a pudding cook and never make puddings for yourself I bother going to any extra effort to give them to dd either. Adding different fruit purees, or even a little maple syrup (not honey till 12mo) to plain yoghurt is probably exciting enough.

Any old small pasta is fine - you can snap spaghetti etc into small pieces or give her whole penne, fusilli etc to eat with her fingers. If you really want tiny tiny pasta it's often sold as 'soup pasta' in the aisle with the packet/tinned soup rather than with the normal pasta.

that should read:

Thank you

Thanks MrsBadger, just has plain yoghurt with banana and maples syrup and loved it

DeCecco make those star shaped little pasta. I buy mine in a local deli. I rarely see it in the supermarkets.
