Caden loves marmite and vegemite on toast or bread! He has had it since about 7 months old.
He has it once a day, sometimes twice a day.]]> Sat, 02 May 2009 18:50:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=676381&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#676381 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : Crunchy peanut butter: more chance...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=675648&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#675648 Author: mountaingoat

Crunchy peanut butter: more chance of choking. Smooth peanut butter is ok at Stage 3 (around 8 months onwards) according to the most recent Plunket/Watties chart. But if you have a family history of peanut intolerance, it's best to steer clear of it as long as possible.

Hummus sounds nice! Haven't done it yet ... will probably introduce that about Stage 3, 'cos I know that chickpeas are pretty fibrous and hard for even adults' stomachs to handle sometimes ;)]]> Fri, 01 May 2009 16:02:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=675648&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#675648 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : yeah - that&#039;s why i was staying...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=675526&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#675526 Author: gypsynita

yeah - that's why i was staying clear of peanut butter... that and we only have crunchy in the house (mmmm crunchy... ) and didn't know how he'd cope with the lumps!

i was going to make some hummus and see how that went - has anyone tried it?]]> Fri, 01 May 2009 13:39:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=675526&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#675526 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : is peanut butter really ok?? i...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=674889&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#674889 Author: angel4

CLB says jam is ok. But I think some of the stuff she says is wrong.

Ryan loves vegemite, i refur to give him that over marmite coz it has more protein.

I think Hayden would eat just about anything if I put vegemite on it!!!! He was having a tidgy bit of vegemite on baby rice cakes from 5 mths but not every day, now he has it on toast and it gets the happy food noise seal of approval! I saw somewhere a suggestion to use sugar free jam for babies, like the weight watchers type ones I guess but I'd rather baby have natural sugar than that artificial sweetner stuff most sugar free products have in them. Avocado on toast/crackers is very popular too.]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:26:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=673510&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#673510 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : Our plunket lady said marmite...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=673003&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#673003 Author: Luckymama23

Clara loves Marmite, but I try not to put too much on because of the salt content. It's about moderation - we only put a very small amount of salt in our bread and don't add it when we're cooking.

you can also put marmite/vegimite on bread, cut off the crusts, roll it up into a sausage shape and micrwave for 1min or 1min 30 sec (depending on your microwave) - they go very hard and make great rusks for teething! (note - they do smell quite bad after you have nuked them but they are very popular with little ones)]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:57:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672654&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672654 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : Good to hear it&#039;s even endorsed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672641&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672641 Author: mountaingoat

Good to hear it's even endorsed by plunket! Thanks for the feedback.

True, there is not a lot else to put on toast that's not sugary. Although there are cheese, vege and liver spreads you can make at home, but they do go off pretty quickly. ]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:37:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672641&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672641 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : Marmite is better than vege, due...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672628&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672628 Author: kabe

cian LOVES marmite on toast or cruskits -- i was a bit worried about the salt content, but like Daizy said, there's not much else to give them when they're this little. jam's too sugary and at least marmite has lotsa good stuff in it as well as the salt!]]> Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:58:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672603&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672603 <![CDATA[Marmite/Vegemite for babies? : My pn said to toast abit of bread...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26192&PID=672580&title=marmite-vegemite-for-babies#672580 Author: Leahsmummy

I started giving Marmite to Maddi when she started finger foods (about 7-8 months) She loves it! I just love the little goatie she gets every time she eats it. Of course she has o smear it all over her face before she eats it

My Plunket nurse has suggested I give my DD marmite on cruskits, she is only nearing 5 and a half months. I haven't yet as I still think she is a bit young for that.

I'm interested to know at what age it's ok to introduce marmite or vegemite.
