Gluten Free Baby And Why
Short version every night during the night baby woke up screaming except on non gluten days. It took me a while and some experimenting but baby’s gluten issues started when he was able to handle digesting wheat based pasta. But in the night he woke up screaming in pain stretching out his whole body stiff…

Simple Finger Foods
My little bubs has finally reach a stage where he can accept more finger foods and enjoy it as well. Today we tried gold kiwi fruit and avocado. Lobed both and needed help with the kiwi. Had lots of fun mushing it around as well. Bought a suction bowl today more for the plate design.…

Apple Porridge with Strawberry Yoghurt
In Australia we have no added sugar kids and baby yoghurt. It’s a good healthy addition to a baby’s diet. Today my little one had 1 stewed green Granny Smith apple cooked until it was soft enough to purée simply by stirring it. I then added 60mils of formula and about 2 tablespoons of Cerelac…

Food Dehydrator & Baby Food

Even though he’s getting older and he’s almost ready for finger food it’s not too late to make fruit and vegetable powder but it also means that I can make dehydrated fruit or vegetable chips. Apple…

General Update
Not much has changed. Except recently I bought Bellamy’s Organic Vanilla Rice Porridge and it smells amazing. Baby loves it. He is getting close to 9months old and is almost ready to try some very soft finger foods. I serve this plain or with formula. I had to make the decision to get him on…

Mixing Purée With Porridge
Sometimes we forget that porridge doesn’t have to be plain and boring. Try it out sometime! When you need to add extra fibre or make meals more filing try adding your purée whether it’s homemade or store bought to porridge. You can use semolina, wheat, gluten free, rice, oat, quinoa or just about any porridge…

Steak, Cauliflower & Cherry Tomato Purée
I asked my husband to put some unsalted well cooked steak strips aside for the baby. Getting some iron and protein is important. And this little fella loves meat. I roasted until golden brown some cauliflower florets. Added the already cooked steak with some diced yellow cherry tomatoes. Stirred and fried it about and added…
