    Does your LO eat curry?

    DH and I eat lots of VERY mild curries that I make in the slow cooker and on those nights i usually give DD something different to eat.
    I'm interested to know if other people give their little ones mild curries and if so do they end up with upset tummys or anything from it. I'm a bit over making 2 meals so thinking about trying it with DD.

    i think if they're mild she should be fine hun! DH and I eat curries fairly regularly, and at the moment, DD just gets other stuff - but we've introduced mild chilly to her meals and she's fine. if you're concerned, perhaps mix an amount of the sauce into mash spud/rice or something and slowly increase the amount of sauce so that you can check how she reacts to it. the only way you'll know is to try it out i guess

    come winter next year we'll be right back into the curries and DD will have them too - hers will probably just have less sauce and more of the "side" (mash/rice etc) until she gets used to them.

    My DD's eat whatever we do. I usually add some cream depending on their taste, just to take the edge off some of the spices. We love a good Red Thai curry!

    Yep - DD and DS both eat curry. Lots of rice helps. They like the mild ones and DS (2.5yrs) will tell me "ooo, spicy mummy" when I get thai take away green curry which is hotter. DD found a whole chilli DS had picked from the bush outside and bit into it the other day. DH had to give her a banana and milk to stop the face pulling

    Yep, we have curries regularly and if it's mild DS has some and hasn't had a problem. He loves it. If it's a spicy one then I just give him whatever meat/veg I am putting in the curry and rice, without the sauce. That way I am not having to cook anything different for him.

    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
