Hi, I have decided it's time for Jody to try some meat.
So to cook, say beef, I just put mince in a pot with a bit of grated carrot and zucchine and cook it all up, then puree it right? Then I can put it in ice cube trays to freeze, right? Then do I take some out the night before and put it in the fridge to thaw for tea the next evening? (that's what I've been doing with fruit and vege) And to heat it do I need to make it piping hot then cool it? How do I do that?? With the fruit and vege I have just been sitting her bowl in hot water until the food it warm enough for her. I have meat/food poisoning fears... -------------

I cook beef and pumpkin or venison and carrot up for E, either finely chopped steak or good quality mince, get it to the right texture and freeze in trays. Yes you MUST get it to piping hot before you can serve it to bubs. I microwave mine until boiling then cool, I know you don't microwave so maybe you could put a pot on the stove and then use it as a double boiler?

i never had a microwave and i heated my food like you, by standing in a bowl of hot water. half the time i would over heat it anyway and have to cool it down. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Another great one to try is fresh fish. Its a great source of omega 3 and really easy to eat. I just get nice flaky fish from the supermarket like red cod and pan fry it. I put it on the tray and they demolish it lol. They love the taste and its a very soft and flaky meat thats very easy to chew. Even with little to no teeth 
I usually give it to the girls once or twice a week. -------------

Thanks ladies. I am going to stay away from fish for a while as my sister is very allergic to it. Maybe I will feed it to her when she is a little bit older and we are sitting in A&E just incase... -------------

Hey, just a friendly heads up, too (cos not many know this) if you are breastfeeding, there isn't any need to add any extra iron to baby's diet... Thanks to the beef and ;lamb board and plunket we have instilled this fear into mums that baby needs all this extra iron, which is true, but if you are BF baby gets it all of you! (just learned that on a course I was on last week) ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Weird, my last post vanished...
Anyway, thanks for that info, I fed Jody beef, carrot, zucchine and apple for lunch and she loved it. I feel very odd about feeding her meat though. Good to know she doesn't *need* it. I am breast feeding and she also has farex with fruit every morning. So plenty of iron for her
Maybe I feel strange about feeding her meat because she will be a vegetarian when she's older and I am psychic... Sigh, I made her eat an animal. Well, not a whole one, but y'know. -------------
