Hi Everyone
I have been weaning my baby for the past couple of weeks and so far we have had baby rice, sweet potato, carrot, Broccoli, Apple, Papaya and banana porridge. Parsnip was a disaster and we had a big shudder so won't be going there again for a while! I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with.
1. Most of the above he will only take when mixed with baby rice and milk - is this normal? He just won't eat apple on it's own as it's too tart.
2. How much should he be eating at a meal? At the moment he will have about 2 tablespoons and most of the time we stop because we run out of food rather than him give up. Should I be giving him much more?
3. In the Annabel Karmel book it says for first stage weaning you can mix broccoli with cheese sauce. When I make a cheese sauce I make it using butter, milk and cheese. Am I ok to do this as I thought they weren't allowed milk for a while? (my son is over six months but was 7 weeks early).
Thanks for the advice!
