My kids loved mashed and pureed vegetables as well which made it easy when cooking our dinner, we would just mash them up and that’s what they ate as well. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/introducing-solid-foods-to-your-baby/#comment-156742 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 10:26:00 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7224#comment-156742 My kids didn’t like farex either and I don’t blame them. It is horrible! We used a mix of freshly home made and Heinz, it made it a convenient mix and there was no stress or mummy guilt as a result. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/introducing-solid-foods-to-your-baby/#comment-156679 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 08:54:17 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7224#comment-156679 Thanks Holly. I agree that it is important both parent and child are having a good day otherwise it could result in disaster before it has even begun.
The plan is happy mum, happy dad, happy baby! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/introducing-solid-foods-to-your-baby/#comment-156666 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 12:26:27 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7224#comment-156666 These are great tips. I think at the start it’s also so very important both mum and bub are having a good day. It can be an ordeal starting solids so having the right mindset is important. Tired babies or busy parents aren’t a great help. If everyone is happy, it goes so much better I did a mix. Mostly home made but on the go I found packaged food easier. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/introducing-solid-foods-to-your-baby/#comment-156586 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 12:28:10 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7224#comment-156586 Rice cereal and lots of mashed up fruit and veggies! Mashed banana, mashed avocado, pureed apple, pureed pumpkin. I tried to home make as much food as possible, but I also found the food pouches you can buy from the supermarket very handy when you’re out and about. I always looked at the packaging and chose the ones that had the simplest ingredients and no preservatives. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/introducing-solid-foods-to-your-baby/#comment-156559 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 01:09:26 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=7224#comment-156559 Farex was popular when I had my first – 15 years ago – but he hated it and so did I. Mashed zucchini was a hit with both my oldest two (now 14 and 15), and my now 4 year old loved avocado – mashed or in pieces he could hold and mush With the first two, it was mostly home-made with some packaged, and with the third more packaged as he got older (and didn’t like my cooking!) Heinz was the main brand we used because it’s a brand I know and trust and one all 3 children have liked. ]]>
