Leek and brocoli puree?

[Mrs22]

Hi ds has been having purees for a couple of weeks now he loves having dinner with dh and me. I'm doing a mixture of puree and blw. I've got brocoli and leeks in fridge as am making stew. Just wondered if I can cook and blend It together to make a puree for ds. He can't have the stew as I put a normal stock cube in and only thought after. Any other puree ideas are welcome so far we've done carrot and sweet potato, avocado, banana, strawberry, tomato x

You can purée anything! Also, I wouldn’t worry too much over the stock cube, they eat so little of it, the salt is negligible.

Sounds lovely, you could add in some cheese or give him a little grated cheese as a finger food on the side. Leeks and cheese always seem to go well together

What did you decide in the end @Mrs22?

He had the Leek and brocoli puree with some mash potatoes ate most of it bless him (and wore quite a bit as well) . Leeks didn't puree very well but he still ate them. I might try him with cheese in 2 weeks time. I'm giving him egg tomorrow so gonna give it a week to make sure he doesn't have any reaction to it 😊 x

Do you have a family history of allergies then? Only asking as that's the advice given to families with multiple allergies. Everyone else should give allergens from 6 months and often

@PritiPatelsMaker i didn't know that, I thought you had to introduce possible allergens separately. Tbh only advice I've got about weaning is from Google and mumsnet posts. X

No, there's really no need to give allergens one at a time unless advised to do so by a HCP. As long as you observe the foods to avoid you really can give anything, eggs, dairy, fish & soy are all fine

Oh and there are some great suggests for first foods in this guide from the Caroline Walker Trust.
