WEANING IS SO EXPENSIVE AND HOW MUCH BABY RICE SHOULD I PUT IN HIS BOTTLE???

[twentynine]

My baby is 12 weeks and so it's time for him to start weaning.

I've been to Asda and got some baby carrots and some baby sweetcorn - they were really expensive for little vegetables. I did ask what drinks they had for babies but other than babycham they couldn't find any so I've got some milk and some baby rice.

But how much baby rice should I put in his bottle and also, do I need to mush up the carrots before I put them in also or do they need liquidising or wot?

gosh, half term already?

have you tried babybel cheese?

yawn

Just put everything in the bottle whole. If he's ready for weaning he'll be able to suck the carrots out through the teat. If not, wait a few weeks.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

DS is alive and well and fully breastfed!

But good one 2point4kids!

Cor you left it late haven't you? I started weaning ds at three weeks

Babybels? Don't you mean cheese strings?

He'll like it more if you add some salt. Give it a try.

You realise you've probably already missed your window of opportunity don't you?

Now he'll never learn to eat solids and you'll have the only child at school who's still fully breastfed. You'll have to go in at breaktime and get your norks out for him.

Ah well, if only you'd listened to reason.

Babyleaf salad

I give my 3 week old baby back ribs. They help his teething.

I will shamelessly post my fave link of the day at this juncture (with thanks to EffiePerrine )

The answer!!

haven't you heard of BLW?

just blend whatever you are having and put it in his bottle, no need for faffing around with veg and rice, yuck

AA - that's fabulous

Hilarious! Love the babycham.

Does that BLW thing work if I am having a can of spesh and a rollie????

Save her little lungs if she can down it in one rather than smoke it, and she is so ready, she's been staring at me smoke for weeks now.

AnarchyAunt - that is fantastic!!!! PMSL!!!!

I read the title and thought to myself, "oh fuck off". Basically.

I know I shouldn't even give this thread the time of day, but twentynine do you realise how SMUG you sound? Get over yourself.

AnarchyAunt, aren't you supposed to wait till they can sit up before they have their first fag?
Otherwise they might set fire to the cot bumpers

Ah no its ok the HV said so long as its fire retardant fabric.

Twinkle........read a little further on in the thread (oh and look at AnarchyAunt's link it's brilliant)

what a shame, for once I thought I could come in to this topic and know my stuff and it was a joke........
