I have a Watties/Plunket chart which I refer to. I usually give Lily fruits and mueslies (jars of the muesli) in the mornings and the vege mixes in the afternoon. Finley is a bit young for the mueslies but Farex is the same. I use a lot of pumpkin as a base, courgettes are quite yum and in abundance in the garden at the moment, and avocado and banana go well together. Lily will often have frozen banana or cold watermelon in one of those mesh feeders. And peaches are in season at the moment. The Alison Holst book 'Baby Food & Beyond' is quite good too ]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:42:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=629687&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#629687 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : lentils are part of the peanut...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=629488&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#629488 Author: busyissy

lentils are part of the peanut family and so children who have the peanut allergy can react to them as well so definately best to stay clear of them for a while.]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:47:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=629488&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#629488 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : My plunket nurse gave me a chart...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=629411&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#629411 Author: jessm

My plunket nurse gave me a chart too, but said even if I want to start solids before, don't give meat or lentils before 6mths. And she said that if you want to flavour something like potato, but don't want to give meat, you can use meat juice for a bit of variety.]]> Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:47:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=629411&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#629411 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : To give yourself a break I fou...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=628738&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#628738 Author: raggy

cooked, pureed courgette is ok too, as a first food. ditto on the watties/plunket 'guide to baby feeding' chart. it's very helpful.]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:44:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=627221&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#627221 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : I used to browse the canned food...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625943&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625943 Author: busymum

I used to browse the canned food at the supermarket for ideas. Go with kumara, pumpkin, potato as a base; nothing wrong with mashed peas either. Then there's the winter veges: brocoli and cauli mash pretty well.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:46:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625943&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625943 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : Plunket has these great little...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625632&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625632 Author: busyissy

Plunket has these great little charts with all the foods listed and at what age they recommend giving them. Might be worth asking for one, it takes all the hard work out of starting solids. I gave mine to SIL in Singapore otherwise I'd give you a big list.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 12:42:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625632&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625632 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : Potato and carrot too.

Potato and carrot too.

They can have meat, fish, lentils and chick peas when you run out of vegie options.

You'll probably be able to find a decent list on the watties website, hang on I'll look.........

ok there isn't but there's lots of ideas www.forbaby.co.nz]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 12:30:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625621&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625621 <![CDATA[First solids, which fruit and veg : Theres Avocado, Nectarine, Pumpkin,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625611&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625611 Author: Leahsmummy

Joel likes pumpkin.

I tend to mix things together so he always has more than one flavour, for example yesterday he had 1 portion of carrot and pumpkin and another of kumara and pear all mixed together (he is a pig and eats nearly 2 jar amounts at any one time) He loves this combo.

Hi,

Running out of ideas for what to give, what to try and what to stay clear of.

We have tried, apple, banana, pear, sweet potato, carrot.

What other veg can I try?

Oh also prunes too.]]> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 10:10:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24889&PID=625547&title=first-solids-which-fruit-and-veg#625547
