[robinredbreast]

baby rice ?

dd1 - baby rice
I knew no better

dd2 - banana

dd3 - helped herself to brocolli off my plate

sweet potato and she loved it! I think there is a picture on my profile to prove it

why do you say i knew no better? isnt it any good ?
im a 1st timer and no nothing of weaning

baby rice, I feel, has no real nutritional value and really isn't neccessary when you could give your 6 month old finger foods or something lovely like banana.

smashed-up carrot

Baby rice but DD spat it out there and then...so i gave her a vegetables flavour puree and she wolfed it down!

ds1 - baby rice

ds2 - plum

ds - pureed carrot
dd - pureed carrot

both very good eaters now

A nice juicy slice of pear, and some sweet potato mush (didn't go down so well). DS is now 14 months and eats pretty mcuh everything in sight.

DS helped himself to a bite of my banana!

Ds:
Mashed banana, and pureed broccoli.

DD: mashed carrot, pear puree.

banana

milupa baby rice
pureed carrot

Stewed pear and stewed carrot (but not at same time LOL)

Baby rice tastes vile, reminds me of wallpaper paste. No baby of mine liked it but useful for thickening up homemade veg and fruit purees.

Gosh you can tell I can't sleep

Apple sauce

My DD's and DS's first tastes were mashed banana, mashed carrot, baby porridge and pureed apple. The apple and banana were the most popular.

I tried baby rice both times and they both hated it. As someone else said though it is useful for thickening things and I do sometimes mix a bit in with my fruit or veg purees.

Tried baby rice - ds unimpressed.

Then tried banana which he loved, and then he sucked on an orange segment for a bit.

roasted red pepper, i was inspired by aitch's recipe (well is really just a two minute method but still) from here babyledweaning.blogware.com/blog/GettingStartedFingerFoodBasics/FingerFoodBasicsMonth1 (you may have to scroll down) and while you are on the sight check out the baby pics! They do love their food!

I gave him some carrot, broccoli and baby corn
He first ate a bit of the baby corn
(This was only a few days ago if you're impressed by my fantastic memory )
