No probs girls

Will have to have a look at my baby cook book. Not sure if its toddlers r weaning. R both! But sure ill b using it soon enough so may as well pull it out!!

And yes I've had that panic more than once. Little monkey would get nice n active almost as soon as I'd get in the hospital never mind on the tracing machine!!! But always good to b checked n sure x

Here are some bits out the Annabel Karmel book. Please note the ticks etc aren't mine, it was second hand. It's a bit prescriptive I thought but it pointed me in the direction of foods etc to try and recipes as well. I've included the ones that were popular with Abigail but tbh once I had tried her with them and I knew she would eat the various components and could pick stuff up we started doing more blw an there is loads of stuff and recipes on the Internet for that.

The carrot and pea one was a huge hit btw. As was the fish one. Nom nom for mummy too......

I started with baby rice (vile), puréed carrot, sweet potato, baby porridge, apple and banana purée... They've been this weeks meals. Just a couple of teaspoons worth once a day. Going to try bns and potato next I think, as well as banana, mango...

I started Cole on baby rice to get him used to eating from a spoon but, like Penny said, not nice!! So after a week we started giving him the C&G creamy porridge which is so much nicer. Then I started giving him tea about 4pm, just some mush, sweet potato or carrot. He's also had some jars as I want him to be used to having both fresh food and food from a jar. The only thing he's turned his nose up at so far was a jar of cheesy spinach and potato but to be fair it looked horrible, bright green!!
Gonna boil him a couple of carrot sticks and bits of broccoli later and let him have a chew xx

Yeah but you don't have to and like the others said it's vile! It is good for thickening stuff though, I once overdid the amount of water when doing carrots and the rice made it thicker so it wasn't a complete waste! Think we did banana first and then carrot. Just tried different things and then started mixing stuff together like potato and carrot etc.
