Hi - am hoping for inspiration here. My 8 month old still can't handle 'bits' in food without gagging so I need suggestions for smooth pureed food. She loves all vegetables I give her i.e. purees of pea, brocolli, squash etc so I get one nice meal down her in the afternoon - but she is currently rejecting all fruit purees so currently isn't having anything for breakfast. Pure baby rice is too bland. She hates banana and doesn't seem to like pear or apple with baby rice either. I am therefore stuck for breakfast ideas. Any other ideas for fruity purees or other breakfast ideas?
Ha ha....Tinkerbell our little ones should get together and have a chat - my 8 month old still has the same gagging problem with bits but conversely loves her fruity purees but refuses the vegetable ones. I have sneaked in vegetables in the Ella's purees (i.e swede/apple/spinach or broccoli/pear/peas) etc but need to think of other ways to get her to like just vegetables!

We've had good luck with the Heinz baby porridge- the banana one and the yoghurt and fruit one. I think they are probably not the healthiest but I am too lazy / tired in the morning to make my own food for her. I need a surefire winner. They are super smooth- so far Ready Brek and Wheetabix have been firmly rejected.


What about yoghurt? Or mango or peach pureed? Grated cheese or apple to pick up?


Good luck, they are fussy little things sometimes. My little girl's diet at the moment is at least 50% sweet potato.

you could make up your own baby rice (the ready ones are disguisting, no wonder they dont want to eat it)


? dcl rice flour / you can also use buckwheat

1.1/5 dcl cold water

1 tbsp fat (olive oil, butter, etc)

? dcl breast milk

Mix flour and cold water, bring to boil while stirring, simmer for 2-3 mins,

switch off heat, mix in fat, mix in breast / bottle / cows milk


Or you could use corn flour, and alternate between the three, so they don't get bored of one.


? dcl corn flour

1.1/2 dcl cold water

1 tbsp fat

? cold milk


Hope this helps. X

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
