I just started jack on the 6 month food and found if i added some 4 month puree the same flavour Jack could handle it better. ]]> Fri, 14 Jul 2006 18:17:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58600&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58600 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58353&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58353 Author: lizzle

My nana made rusks - bread with butter on it, sprinkled with onion soup mix - taste great- but really really high in salt.
As for chunky food, at six months jake had six teeth i think which made those chunks easier. for gummy babies (like Taine), purees are probably best.

Oh and for indoor activities - we play soccer in the lounge. jake loves rolling the ball too. He loves playdough (which I make - the recipe on this iste is cool). Jake is older than Zac, but he "helps" me bake. we made biscuits a few days ago, but I put the plate too low, and Jake ate them all. By ate I mean chewed on a few and left them out to go sofggy in his tent. I';ve also just started making him forts and cars from big cardboard boxes. if you want to get really crafty you can paint them up, if not, you can cut them witha acraft knife. I put a door at one end and another door at the other. jake usually crawls in and I have to ask "where is Jake?, I can't find him" and then he pops out yelling "TA DA!". We do lots of drawing (great pressies for those rellies overseas), playing in the bath....oh, and even some kiddie websites. We hgad a post on it a while ago. the

No Nikki - not off the topic at all! I've got him on 3 meals a day now which he loves. He knows the microwave beep so if I'm not quick enough with getting the food to him he starts crying! Just wasn't sure what to do for lunch. Thanks again.]]> Thu, 13 Jul 2006 19:18:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58328&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58328 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58315&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58315 Author: nikkitheknitter

Sorry Kim, I knew I'd be going off topic!
I think it'd be fine to start giving him 3 meals a day. He'll let you know if it is too much by cutting down the other meals or not drinking as much milk. But at his age I don't think it's a problem at all!
I remember with Hannah I had her on one meal a day for aaaaages before I could deal with moving onto the next stage, then within two weeks I had her on three meals! haha ]]> Thu, 13 Jul 2006 18:36:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58315&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58315 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58218&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58218 Author: Kim

Thanks for those recipies Nikki I will try them out. Just want to make sure that it's not too much food for Zac to have meat and vegies for lunch and dinner or should I just give him vegies for lunch???

Aimee we bought some vegemite back with us and gave that to Zac on white bread and he had a reaction to it - bright red marks all round his mouth area. I love those Chicken Crimpys - lived on those while I was pregnant - none of those over here unfortunately!

Linda - I can't find any custard for babies over here. I have to read all the ingredients as sugar is put into everything over here. I think I will have to go to Bahrain to go shopping as they have lots of organic food for babies over there. Crazy that I have to go to another country to buy food for my baby! - luckily it is just over the bridge.

Thanks for your help ladies.]]> Wed, 12 Jul 2006 22:32:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58218&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58218 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58172&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58172 Author: nikkitheknitter

Hey thanks Nikki...I am the worlds worst cook especially at thinking up options. I really struggle with ideas but like the sound of both of those so will give it a go in the weekend.

Sorry, I'm getting very into this... Another recipe.
Root Vegetable Mash
1 medium potato (peeled and cubed)
83g of swede or celeriac (mmmm as if you'll have that lying around.. maybe go with a carrot instead - peeled and cubed)
1 tsp olive oil
small knob of unsalted butter or marg
1 hard boiled egg yolk

Cook the potato and swede/carrot for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain and puree or mash with the olive oil.

Heat the beans through and mash or chop, depending on the age of your baby. Peel the egg and discard the white. Mash the egg yolk and combine with the beans and mashed potato.]]> Wed, 12 Jul 2006 14:03:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58075&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58075 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58069&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58069 Author: nikkitheknitter

This sounds weird... but Han used to looove eating cooked spinach at that age. I just used to plonk it on her high chair tray and she'd go for it!

Here's a recipe I often used to go for - (May be getting very off topic here but oh well...)
Oaty Vegetable Puree
2Tbsp Porridge
1 small leek (finely chopped)
2Tbsp canned sweetcorn (drained and rinsed)
1 medium tomato (skinned, seeded and chopped)
small knob of unsalted butter or marg

Put oats in pot, cover with half water and half milk and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until the grains are soft and creamy.
Steam leek. Combine with oats, sweetcorn, tomato and butter in small pot and stir until heated through. Puree or mash depending on the desired consistency.]]> Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:58:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58069&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58066&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58066 Author: nikkitheknitter

linda... I found the 6 month food had much too big chunks for Han to deal with at that age. Maybe mashing them a little further? Good on you for persevering (as they really do need to work through the gag reflex) but I think an intermediate step is needed between the 4 and 6 month packaged food. (Useless baby food companies!) In some cases I found the 9 month food a better size than the 6 month?!?!

Kim... Start trying Zac with some toast at lunch or something??? I'll go track down my baby food book for some ideas for around his age. I know I struggled a little to get inspiration!!]]> Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:54:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58066&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58066 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58004&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58004 Author: aimeejoy

Hannah loves bread - I think the easiest to manage is a strip of a crust. She loves marmite on it, but is very messy and dont know if you would have any marmite anyway!! She has also been having little crackers since about 7 months - Chicken Crimpys she sucks on them until she can swallow it.]]> Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:45:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=58004&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#58004 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=57910&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#57910 Author: linda

Alex is 7 months and he is still having the 4 month type foods. Tried him on some 6 month plus foods that are not as pureed but he choked on it and made him sick (big mess because his milk also came up). I've also tried giving him strips of toast to eat but he is also choking on that but at least it entertains him! I keep trying the 6mt plus foods so hopefully he will learn to start taking it. Can't wait till I can give him yoghurt which is from 8 months plus.

So lunchtime for Alex is really milk followed by Apple Custard or something similar. We both work so Alex is in Creche so like to keep it simple. Toast sticks are also good for entertaining him. He hasn't quite figured out that its food though. ]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:43:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=57910&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#57910 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=57892&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#57892 Author: Kim

At the moment Zac has baby rice and fruit for breakfast, meat and vegies for dinner. Just wondering what everyone else gives/gave their 7 month old for lunch. Do I give him meat and vegies as well or something like a sandwich and fruit?

We are also stuck inside all day as it is 50 degrees outside - we read books, play with his toys, listen to Wiggles and Hi 5, I sing to him (poor boy!) but it is still a very long day! Any ideas what else I can do with him?]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2006 18:59:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3111&PID=57892&title=meals-for-a-7-month-old#57892
