Baby food recipes 6-7 months

Don't forget there's always the green stuff ! By that I mean broccoli, zucchini, beans, peas, cauliflower (yeah yeah, I know it's white but hey...) etc. Sorry I don't really have any recipes though !

this is not so much a recipre but Ive started giving addison cucumber to suck on and she loves it, specially since its cold i think. i do it thin so if any comes off its tiny, oh and peel it of course

Erin loves cucumber too, although I didn't peel it when I gave it too her, whoops !

possibly. I should really read those plunket guidelines!

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.

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

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!*

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 !

Good point about the first and second foods schedule.

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

I'll have to put on my best "yum yum Mummy has a bit, Caitlin has a bit" face

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
