Jax you don't need to buy HEAPS

I found that 3 of each thing has been plenty

We did, potatoes, kumera, carrots, peaches, pears, apple, brocolli, chicken, beef, pumpkin, corgette

It's surprising how far the "goop" will go

Make sure you save all of the cooking water (meat and vege) to make the gravey yum]]> Tue, 06 Feb 2007 08:59:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=107217&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#107217 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=107178&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#107178 Author: jax

I've been so inspired by this thread I even made some homemade stuff for Erin's lunch this avo, carrot and potato....mmmm... Also went out and got a bunch of containers, and a stick blender thingy, and in the next 'budget round' will factor in a ton more veges and fruit and get stewing ]]> Mon, 05 Feb 2007 22:46:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=107178&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#107178 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=107172&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#107172 Author: Two Blondinis

Good point about the first and second foods schedule.

I've just whizzed up some brocolli (looked like spirulina *sp?*)

Rice cakes with jam on them are an awesome way to dodgy the gluten/wheat allergy but some of them have soy in them so look on the back of the pack, I haven't looked at corn thins but I hear that they are good too.
I just stuck to combination foods with ice cubes for ages it seems to have been ok, Olivia HATES potato so I am trying to get it into her now as she is moving onto mash.
My paediatrician said that normally what is second foods in our country are first foods in another and don't be too set and stringent on not adding a little extra green.

Erin just loved to suck on it mostly (the cucumber stick), so it got pretty soggy, and any bits that came off she seemed to be fine swallowing. We are really working on her tolerance for lumpy bits atm !]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 09:29:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106778&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106778 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106767&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106767 Author: ellabellame

toni, one that mikey really loved at that age was chicken mixed withpumpkin or kumara. i just boiled the chicken until it was just about falling off the bones and then i tok it out and cooked the cubed veges in the chicken stock the pureed the whole lot together (after taking out the bones of course ).]]> Sun, 04 Feb 2007 08:22:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106767&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106767 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106748&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106748 Author: Two Blondinis

My Martha Award goes too... *drum roll*


Sara (a.k.a Peace)


But seriously, thanks heaps for the recipes!

I bought 3 sets of 5 little plastic tubs in the $2 shop for $6!! woo hoo! and have just finished cooking. Taking a break before I make room for it all in the freezer

I'm still buzzing LOL I'm such a freak.
But I figure that if I can't feed my child by BFing her then I will feed her homemade solids. Might sound a bit extreme, but that's how I feel right now. I was gutted that the lactation consultant told me it would be pretty much impossible to relactate AND work 8 hour days (not that BFing would solve her wheat/gluten allergy) so to make up for it I'm making all of her food myself (wouldn't even let DH help *sorry hun!*]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 23:54:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106748&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106748 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106745&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106745 Author: baalamb

There's something about the nitrates on that website above.

Yeah, I've been told the bread sticks are a good idea now too. One of the mums in ante-natal suggests baking the bread for about an hour to make it nice and solid (just thought about the whole gluten thing though... There's a rice bread type thing on the market I think?)

Jax, how'd Erin go with the cucumber stick? I'd be interested in giving some to Ashlee but am scared she'd chomp bits off and choke! I know it helps them learn the whole gag reflex thing but I don't want her to choke!]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 23:03:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106745&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106745 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5528&PID=106744&title=baby-food-recipes-67-months#106744 Author: Peace

Lemme see!
I had the best girlfriend that made me do everything O-natural when it came to baby food!
Make these combinations up (I usually did it with ice cubed stuff):

Roast chicken, pumpkin, courgette and a small amount of strained cooked corn.

Carrot, asparagus, broccoli and potato.

Silverbeet, steak, gravy, potato and carrot.

Kumera, corn, chicken and gravy.

Cauli, broccoli and gravy with schnitzel and carrot.

Kumera, carrot and apple, you can add mince to this as well.

Green beans, carrot (more carrot than anything else) and courgette.

Now is a good time to start marmite toast soldiers or cruskets.

I make my own gravy (just call me Martha), vege water (keep what you have boiled your veges in), 2 cubes of whatever meat I have boiled the crap out of and turned to mush and gluten free cornflour.
Chicken gravy if you look for a good stock on your super market shelf (the watery kind) and add that to some vege water or even the run off from your own roast chicken with cornflour is also a goodie.

Greens and corn are a REALLY good way to get bubbahs bowels going at this age.

Taste it first and if it needs to be sweeter or saltier then add fruit, tart apples are salty, pears are sweet.

Yesterday, I boiled up a courgette and a couple of florets of brocolli (maybe 4-5 med sized, in the same pot for 15 mins) and then drained them and mashed them separately.

Then I took a couple of teaspoons of each and combined them with 2 ice cubes of pumpkin puree (purely because the pumpkin is a familiar taste). It went down a treat.

No need to worry about the pips in the courgettes because they go extremely soft.

Wholesome Baby Food has a huge range of different recipes and FAQ's etc... I don't know that there are many recipes for 6mths because I didn't have a proper look, but it's probably got the answers to the questions you asked.

ETA: peel the courgette first
ETA again: editing link.
