We had a little trouble with constipation and ended up cutting out all baby rice/cereal and that fixed it totally. For lunch I do an apple/pear puree with either peas/corgette/sweet potato/squash and for dinners I have boiled chicken thighs and pureed them with a few tinned prunes and he'll have 2 cubes of that and 2 vege ones or pork casserole with brocolli and the vege cubes again. I also give him fruit in the fresh fruit feeder or a baby rice cake with a tidgy bit of vegemite at lunch and sometimes a pudding from a jar. He goes at least once a day now, on baby rice/cereal I was lucky if it was every other day, worse was 3 days no poop.

I have also have frozen cubes of organic pear juice and take a cube of that and defrost/dilute those a couple of times a week and add to his meals if I need to.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 09:48:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608539&title=solids-question-combinations#608539 <![CDATA[Solids Question - Combinations? : Oh we are going to try the apple...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608530&title=solids-question-combinations#608530 Author: denny25

there is a good watties apple with prune juice, the twins love that, and peaches, apricots, custard, yoghurt, pretty much anything!!!

Vegies they love too, but are a bit fussy with chicken?? ]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:36:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608428&title=solids-question-combinations#608428 <![CDATA[Solids Question - Combinations? : If bubbie does become constipated...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608291&title=solids-question-combinations#608291 Author: McPloppy

If bubbie does become constipated you could always boil up a prune and puree that and add to her meals.
Don't forget good old parsnip and carrot as a combo ;o)]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:15:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608291&title=solids-question-combinations#608291 <![CDATA[Solids Question - Combinations? : Joel had avacado and apple today,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608276&title=solids-question-combinations#608276 Author: LeahandJoel

When Jack was smaller and I was worried about him becoming constipated I would add a small bit (maybe a teaspoon) of prune juice to his food. I would just boil up some prunes in water and use that juice, it was handy to freeze it (partially filling icecubes) as it lasted longer. Alternatively you could chop it up finely and add or give her a prune to chew on (in a feeder).

Kiwifruit is good too although I am not sure at what age Plunket recommends it]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:23:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608249&title=solids-question-combinations#608249 <![CDATA[Solids Question - Combinations? : banana and avocado together are...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=608237&title=solids-question-combinations#608237 Author: happymumma

I'd try pumpkin next, it's nice and sweet, goes nicely with kumara.
I cook most of the vege's for her - carrot, pumpkin, potato, kumara are in the freezer at the moment. But for variety I buy the odd jar and mix it with my stuff, a jar will do 2 o 3 meals so it's jar with potato, jar with pumpkin, jar with carrot.
I've found the trick to not getting bubs too constipated is to give SMALL meals.
The only fruits she eats are pear, banana, and apricot. Loves a bit of avocado too, and if you're out and about its easy to throw a banana or avacado in the bag to mash.

We came back from camping and the only things I had in the house were an apple and a kumara, so I made that combo and he loves it. Yesterday i made pumpkin, carrot,and pear. The other one I did was courgette, kumara, apple and potato. Loves them all. I only use the baby musli(never did the rice thing) to thicken it, he won't eat it if its runny, has to be thick enough to stay on the spoon.

So far Ava has had rice cereal, pears and kumara. I don't want her to get constipated so I'm wondering what I should try next. Shes 5 months old.

Also, what first food combinations work well together?]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:35:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24350&PID=607845&title=solids-question-combinations#607845
