Do I really need a mouli?

Or can I manage with passing things through a sieve? I don't have room in my kitchen for any more gadgets! This is for a 7mo who has so far had my own pureed root veg, fruit and a few jars, but I want to be more adventurous and cook peas, sweetcorn etc. Anyone do these things without a mouli?

I'm hoping the OP's now 14 year child no longer requires any kind of weaning solidea, baby-led or otherwise.

Have you tried baby led weaning? No need to mash!

no you dont need one. but if you want to spend money a braun hand held blender thing is much more useful than a mouli and you will carry on using it fo years (soup / smoothies etc.)

You can manage perfectly well with a fork and sieve. I only used a mouli because my mother insisted on buying me one before ds was even born as she said they were a godsend to her when she was weaning my sister and me.

So that you can have the fun of selling things on Ebay, that's why!

yes that's true, I did a lot more of the just handing her things with dd too - with ds I was all about purees in ice cubes but I don't think I did that once this time.

i too agonised over similar qustions whilst weaning ds. How i wish i could have been saved the pain of oureeing all those carrots if i'd known about baby led weaning. There's a few threads on it and this blog below is a really good source of info too

At 7 months you can give them mashed with a fork.
My ds is 7 months and eats them whole (but he never had puree, I started on finger food and mashed stuff).

no, you don't. I havd one for ds but it never made it down from the boxes in the loft when I was weaning dd. I just mashed with a fork mostly.
