What ever happened to good old vegetables and fruit?
Mashed Vegi's and stewed fruit would be a good start - I used to
pressure cook the vegi's - use the juice to mash them and then cool what
was left of the juice as a very healthy drink - my babies loved
it.
Also mention if left too long to introduce new tastes and
experiences, it may cause eating problems, digestive
problems and eating disorders.
My 4 yr old boy started on mashed vegi's at about 6 - 7 months now
loves broccoli and peas and my daughter started eating a little younger
and at nine she eats anything - asparagus, brussel sprouts, pumpkin,
salad, letuce, celery, tomatoes - not so keen on lollies.
She was prem and started solids at a corrected 3 months, actual 6
months and has absolutely no dietary or eating problems. My son was
full term and is so fussy compared to her but still pinches the broccoli
off everyone elses plate, have to eat quick or he gets it.
LOL.
From about 6 to 8 months they do need to introduce some
food even if it is just one spoon a day - it is important to start
with something.
