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

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
