Tinned Aduki beans, if you can get them, make a gorgeous meatless chilli (with or without quorn Mince) with peppers and sweet Potato, nice served with fresh coriander, avocado and sour cream and grated cheese as an Option .. Lovely with baked sweet potato or in wraps

A chunky soup or stew might be nice too, with Parmesan for those who can partake, ditto chorizo
-
We also have a household with a mix of omnivores and veggies ... One thing that works is to make up a veggy and a meat version (chilli, curry) then serve bith with rice or salad etc, freezing half for another day That might work for you Or having a meze sort of meal - grilled lamb or chicken, or kebabs, with grilled halloumi, salad, crudit?s, or Greek salad or frittata ... Stir fry with either chicken or tofu is another idea

Try to focus on the breadth of things he tastes, rather than the volume ingested! And try not to limit yourself too early to a 'favourites' list becAuse the stage that follows is him doing precisely that, off his own bat. IME Eagerly hoovering up all sorts Is followed by Spoon refusal but gaily chomps on all sorts (broccoli!) Is followed by Seeming to actually swallow very little Increasing fussiness Which morphs into A strict will/won't list That persists till they are about 3/4 when finally there is a sort of food glasnost

It's normal, really Think of it as him tasting lts of stuff he can't easily chew and swallow All of mine have been like that and mostly they ended up good eaters so I am trying to be chilled out about the latest who seems to subsist on fruit and cucumber ATM! (plus milk)

Making bottles up in advance question
Fuschia replied to Strawbs's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I had heard that some of the anti reflux formulas couldn't be made with hot water But unless By 'medicinal' she means 'sterile' then I don't see how the bacteria risk is eliminated in her suggestion ... Bit scary when even those advising on formula prep don't grasp the implications of not sticking to the 70 degree rule -

Fuschia replied to Strawbs's topic in The Family Room Discussion
In the us I think there is advice to make formula up with boiling water but the formula manufacturers dispute it for that reason I think we discussed this before. Seem te remember saffron had the definitive answer. Anyway, just off the boil is certainly fine! Better hotter than 70 degrees than cooler -
ThoUght the bSby was quiet till I caught him stirring the toilet with a fish slice. Yuk. What awful thIngs have happened in your house?

Fuschia replied to Strawbs's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I don't think that's true either ... The reason why in this country actual Boiling water isn't recommended is mostly to do with the scalding rusk For the person Preparing the feed I think If the feed was made with actual Water on the boil then the proteins in they'll Might be affected I did read the whole detailed very long research into the bacteria and the optimal temps upon which the advice is based Helena, I take this all so seriously because my assistants grand daughter was very seriously ill in intensive care at a few weeks old and the cause was isolated to contamination of the milk Since then I have been very conscious of any press reports of contaminated milk ... Although the incidence is rare (1 in 100,000) that compares with listeria in pregnant women at 12 in 100,000 I don't know many women who disregard the advice re duet in Pregnancy I think we all appreciate that the incidence us low but the effects are very serious, hence the important advice te food safety I just can't help saying something, when People say 'I did it this way and it was fine' Because that rather misses the point In Belgium The family of a baby that died sued the Formula company But lost because they were supposed to Know baby milk isn't sterile But I am Not so sure everybody does fully appreciate that -

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-205215/Meningitis-bug-baby-food-firms.html Though that news article shortly after the death in Belgium refers also to the Netherlands and Canada It is a tiny risk, but because do Many of these bacterial Infections In Babies are fatal, it's a risk that should be avoided by following the guidelines for safe handling of formula powder -

What is it there has never been a case of, Helena? Sadly, contaminated milk has certainly been Found to be the cause of death of several Cases I remember - America and belgium http://www.medicalonlinemedia.com/2011/03/dangers-of-enterobacter-sakazakii-in-powdered-milk-formula/ The good news is that following the advice on safe milk Preparation (or using milk in cartOns) should eliminate the risk
