BLW - is jelly ok for babies

[annio84]

I've tried googling this but all the answers relate to processed jelly and the sugar content. I'm really interested if the consistency is ok. I have some strawberries and blueberries that I was going to puree with some banana (like a smoothie) and set with gelatin so she can pick them up. Do you think this would be ok?

There's no consistency you can't give a BLW baby It might just be easier to give her strawberries and blueberries though, unless you normally eat them like that?

I'm sure it'd be fine and I think that's a really interesting idea! I'm sure your LO will have lots of fun mushing it up haha!

The problem is I froze them when I bought them as we had too many and they've defrosted a bit mushy so not so nice for just eating. Also I have to admit I thought that it would be fun and that I wanted to eat some!

it will be fine, jelly tends to melt in your mouth anyway & im sure LO will mush it up quite a bit before eating anyway x

Sounds great fun then! I freeze extra strawberries too but I tend just to use them for milkshakes and smoothies or for strawberry sauce

Frozen berries are also great in muffins. My daughter loves blackberry and blueberry muffins and with the added fruit, you can leave out of the sugar.
