Beans for baby?

OrangeSmoke

Can they eat beans?  Harry was pawing at my bean salad today, so I gave him some (Alex had no interest)....

Other than the obvious gas factor, should I not offer it to him?  I can't find anything on wholesomebabyfood!

Jake loves beans, I think as long as they're soft..they make for a great source of protein!

I don't see any reason why not to offer beans-- I know my guys had them around 9 months if not before.  They are a cheap, easy source of protein!

beans are a great finger food! if you use canned, just rinse really well, it reduces the sodium

Yes!!  Beans are great for babies. 

Caroline adores beans of all kinds...and they make great finger foods.

Go for it!!

Asha seemed to like pintos and cheese - and busch's baked beans (not too much of this though)

We've given kidney, black, pinto, lima and cannilini beans (all rinsed well with warm water) and they love them.  I usually just smush them a little between my fingers to make them easier to pick up and help break them up a bit.
