If you make your own baby food do you use onions?

Daisy622 · June 2013

I have 2 recipe books and also use wholesomebabyfood.com recipes - many call for onions - do you use them? Just curious, so far I have been omitting them because I wasn't sure she would like them or if they were necessary.

I have not used them in anything yet.

Lurker here, I don't use them just yet. I am just now introducing pureed cauliflower. I'm nervous about a gassy tummy.

I rarely used them, but yes I did use them. I didn't really omit anything. We didn't do purees for long, but when I made them I always added herbs, spices, etc. I hate bland food so I figured my kid would too.

I would add them.

I don't see why not? WE're doing mostly BLW, so if the dish has onions in it, then DS will end up eating it. I'm not deliberately giving him onions, but I'm not avoiding using it either.

not yet....closer to 10 mos...I figure he doesn't know what he's never had:)

I always used them if the recipe called for it. Part of the reason I made my own baby food was so I could introduce variety early on.

We do BLW, so we gave her onion when it was in the dish. I gave her roasted potato with onion and garlic last week. She didn't really eat the onion, just licked it, but the flavours were in the potatoes and she loved them. I want her to have a varied palate so I try to include as many different things as possible.
