I started giving Haleigh meat juices/ puree's at 6 months, then pieces of meat at 9 months.
at 6 months babies need iron as their stores are starting to get lower so they need extra topping up.
Plunket have a great food chart from watties that shows what foods and what age you give them to them. ]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 08:19:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83243&title=recipes-needed#83243 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83191&title=recipes-needed#83191 Author: meow

Hehehe Emma, careful not to make a nice roast placenta Joshie loves kumara and pumpkin too - must be the sweetness. I did a carrot/parsnip/potato puree for him which is really not fussed on at all. I've been avoiding meat thus far, but do you think it's ok for me to try him on it soon??]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:36:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83189&title=recipes-needed#83189 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83134&title=recipes-needed#83134 Author: Kazzle

I had a constant store of mashed, frozen (ice cube) kumara. It was great for adding into whatever we were already having for dinner and if we were having something inappropriate like roast (crunchy) veges or something, Briona could have just kumara on its own. In my experience, littlies like kumara because it's still sweet ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 16:10:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83102&title=recipes-needed#83102 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83096&title=recipes-needed#83096 Author: Maya

Actually, I just looked at her age - when Ella was around 7 months she started wanting pieces of fruit instead of pureed.. so you might not need to do it for all that long - although it is handy having something on hand without having to cut anything up..]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 14:35:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83073&title=recipes-needed#83073 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=83050&title=recipes-needed#83050 Author: MyMinis

I did mine in icetrays I only have 2 and once they were frozen I'd stick them in an airtight container in the freezer, then go on to do the next lot.
When Haleigh was 9 months she went onto fruit pieces rather than stewed fruit.
Good luck with finding a recipe

I got a couple of bright green ones so they were easily distinguished from the ice cubes - could just see Jono pouring himself a bourbon on the rocks and ending up with pureed kumara or stewed apple in his drink I just do up a couple of batches of fruit, and veges each week and put them in glad bags once frozen - much cheaper than jar food, and makes me feel good to make good food for my baby now he hardly ever breastfeeds.]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 09:53:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82968&title=recipes-needed#82968 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82909&title=recipes-needed#82909 Author: nikkitheknitter

Kaz, I made the same mistake in thinking I needed a tonne of trays... until I realised I could do exactly what Liz said. Glad bags are my best friend

I have a book with great recipes in age groups, but a friend has it at the mo. As soon as I wrangle it back from her I'll post a few age-appropriate puree/mash recipes ]]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 21:25:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82909&title=recipes-needed#82909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82903&title=recipes-needed#82903 Author: meow

i used to just cook my fruit in a little water then mash or puree it. then freeze it in ice cube trays. no sugar. and i did apple, apple and pear, peaches (they were yum). then i just took out a cube when i needed it. apple was good to mix with other stuff like pumpkin, avocado, breakfast stuff... ]]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 20:18:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82881&title=recipes-needed#82881 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82871&title=recipes-needed#82871 Author: busymum

You can easily preserve stewed fruit (apples etc) either in sealed jars or in containers in the freezer. Did you want a recipe for how much sugar to fruit?

It will probably work out a lot better for you this way - jar food gets really expensive as they get older and you won't have to wean her onto grown-up food later ]]> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 20:04:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82871&title=recipes-needed#82871 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4291&PID=82833&title=recipes-needed#82833 Author: Kazzle

Does anyone have any recipes for preserving fruit for 6mths plus....Rhiannon hates the jar food, and as she loves my chicken and veges or meat and veges i thought i would try her on homemade peaches, pears, apples etc

any recipes would be great
