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.
