Ashleigh has been having solids for a couple of weeks now. I am giving her the Watties stage one foods but she is only having a teaspoon or so so I have been freezing the rest of the jar into ice cubes. My question is about the veges - whenever I defrost an ice cube of them, they always seem to be a lot lumpier than before?? The fruit - apples and pears etc all seem to be the same, nice and pureed but the veges all seem quite lumpy and Ashleigh starts gagging on them. What am I doing wrong????????? Thanks  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

It doesn't matter if it is the tinned stuff or the homemade stuff, mine does that too! I just give mine a little bit longer in the microwave, transfer it into another bowl and give it a minute. That normally cools it down pretty fast. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

I think it's just the veges drying out a little bit. Can you get it smooth again with a bit of water and a fork? -------------  |

I just heat it for a bit longer as well. It thins it back to how it was. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |
