Does your LO eat curry?

My parents used to give me the curry they were eating, but my dad used to 'rinse' mine for me. He'd put my serving into a colander/strainer and rinse it under the tap, put it back onto my plate and just put a tablespoon or so of juice back overt it so it still had the curry taste.

Now I really feel like curry for dinner!

DS has been eating mild curries (ie no chili and a little spices) since about 9 months. I figured he got in copious amounts through pregnancy and in my BM, so he probably knew the taste already

He's having it a bit stronger now (15 mos) and seems to love it! He hoed into some seaweed salad the other day that was a little bit spicy (I didn't realise), so we might start adding a bit to our curries every so often.

Normally I make a huge batch of tame curry and just add my own chilli flakes and salt to taste at the table

I make curried sausages and rice all the time, all my boys love it and have eaten it since they were on solids without any repercussions. I make it pretty spicy but not enough to upset tummies. Ive found if they dont like the taste of something they refuse to eat it. Curried sausage is the ONLY meal they will each have 3 helpings of!

my two have been having them since they started eating and we've never had an issue. They love laksas, thai food, mexican....guess it's what they're used to.

I started by giving my DD tastes of mild curries and she loved them so now we give her her own bowl of curry if we're having that for dinner.

I give DS a little bit of curry - he prefers to munch down the rice, puppadoms, samosas etc rather than the actual curry, although he'll eat some of the chunks of meat.

DS does have a full, proper meal at least twice a day (along with two breakfasts and fruit snacks) so if he doesn't eat loads of curry it's not a problem, he had eaten enough for the day (according to guide-lines) at lunchtime.

My boys have both like spicy foods from the beginning - certainly by 12 months both were eating medium - hot curries from our local Indian restaurant, and the same home cooked meals as us, including chili curries, chili in pasta, etc. It is so much easier having the whole family eating the same things.

I have heard that if you eat spicy foods during pg and bfing that kids are more likely to eat them at a young age. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but it might explain why my boys are so good with spice.
