Baby food questions
1. When did you start giving your babies meats (chicken etc).
2. How did you prepare the chicken and offer it?
3. Have you given any meats other than chicken?
4. Do you offer whole blueberries or do you cook and mash them? Up to this point I have made all of my own baby food. On wholesome baby food dot com it says to cook them in one place, but then in another seems to refer to giving them whole.
At this point I am pretty sure I am doing the solid food thing all along. Not sure if I am giving too much, not enough, etc.
They get 1/4 cup of oatmeal in the morning
2 cubes of a veggie in the afternoon
and 2 cubes of a veggie in the evening. They still hate fruit although I try to slip some sliced bananas for an after breakfast treat or applesauce in the oatmeal (it never works though).
any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: Baby food questions
We started giving meat at about 10 months. It wasn't a hit but we started. We would put it in a quesadilla, give it directly to them, Mac and Cheese, eggs, what ever we could find to sneak it in. With chicken we would poach in chix broth. We would cook up ground beef, turkey, chix in a fry pan. We would also give them other types of food for protein though. The hotdogs are the only one we took our time with. We still quarter them before we serve it, and we serve it straight.
Blueberries we have always given whole. We use frozen at first b/c we your thaw them the get really soft (and messy). Now we give them fresh if it's in season.
1. i think around 8-9 months, but they were pureed from jars. EW!
2. i think i started making real chicken a little later (maybe 10 months) but i probably could have/should have started sooner. i'd put a bunch of thighs in the crockpot with some water or broth, and cook them all day. they'd just fall apart. i tried to shred the meat, mostly.
3. ground turkey and deli turkey and ham and roast beef. hamburger meat. really, anything that isn't too chewy.
4. i cut them in half at first, but now i can give them whole, if they're small.
mine love to eat plain, whole milk yogurt mixed with pureed bananas or unsweetened applesauce or pears and cinnamon. i give that to them a LOT (every day, usually) to make sure they're getting lots of dairy.
