4th child, he got we we were eating just forked a bit, nothing specially prepared, he was breast fed to age 2. Nex time around we had twins, they ate what we were eating (again breast fed to 18 months, started the same path as their big sister) we just mashed it up more. She ate everything & still does, now she's a healthy high schooler & state level athlete. I wasn't trying to wean her, just introduce her to new foods.
I started solids with cereal at 6 months, just made all my own mashed vegetables, then fruit after 12 months. I had my first baby in 1999 & didn't read a thing on the matter apart from the fact she was breast fed for 18 months & super healthy. Introducing babies and toddlers to a range of nutrient-rich foods is important for their growth and development and Making Every Bite Count helps parents to achieve this with concise, easy to read information, food preparation ideas and recipe suggestions.Ĭhildhood 101’s disclosure statement regarding sponsored posts can be found here. Plus we got to eat them with the first ever cobs of corn from our vegie garden, which were yummy 🙂 The burgers were easy to make and tasty and we will definitely make them again. The brochure includes four recipes as examples of how family meals can be modified and we decided to test drive the Beef & Sweet Potato Burgers. Which is exactly what the MLA’s Make Every Bite Count brochure helps parents to do – to make one nutrient-rich family meal and then modify the components to suit babies and toddlers in each of the following four stages on the journey from puree to family meals – smooth and silky, lumpy and mushy, finger food and the toddler stage. Whilst I enjoyed the novelty of those early days of cooking up batches of mush and freezing little portions, and experimenting with the introduction of different colours and flavours and textures, I also looked forward to the time when Immy would be able to eat what we were eating, thereby reducing the amount of time I needed to spend on food preparation (as it is no secret that cooking is not my favourite thing to do!)
After she turned seven months, red meat, fish and chicken were slowly added to the daily menu. To begin with I alternated between a pureed vegetable and fruit for each meal (sometimes combined with a little rice cereal) and before long started to introduce combinations of the two. And we are fortunate to have never looked back. And despite the look of horror on her face, she ate it. When we began, it was with bright orange mashed carrot. There was lots of talking about what we would serve her and when we would start, both at home and amongst my friends at mothers group, as the six month mark approached. I remember how exciting it was when Immy started on solids. This post is sponsored by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA).
