Question re meat preparation for bub. How do you cook meat like lamb or beef for bub. In the past I bought cubes and then boiled the meat in water until tender and then pureed...Is there a better way?

[aussienic]

I don't remember what I did with meat... I think only isaac has had meat before 1 and that was because he was grabbing at my chicken.. and we pureed it..

Other then that we just waited and when cooking our own dinner cooked them some too but without sauces ect,. then dice it up finely..

Olivia has the itchiest looking eczema on her arm.. I don't see the point in taking her to the Dr as it isn't bothering her at all.. It just bothers me..

Olivia said Ball this afternoon.. I swear thats what it was.. she can say bubub and the occasional what sounds like Da or ma.. but I swear she said Ball when Jacob gave her a ball

Ahhh. One of those days. Ty's morning nap lasted all of 5 minutes. Now he will be whingy all day. Just when I thought we had a good sleep routine going *sigh*.
Bekz- about the meat. I don't think I'm going to bother until Ty is about 12 months. I hate the thought of puree'd meat, I don't know why it just grosses me out. One of those weird little quirks
Off to Babies into Books at the library. Lovely. Really too cold and windy to bother, but hey we'll give it a shot.

Hey girls.

Yeah.. I never pureed meat. Think i either shredded it, or chopped it up once DS got the hang of chewing properly. Can't remember what age. You can always start by giving them a bone to chew on. hehe.

Are these bubs supposed to be eating meat already?? Opps Ash is still getting the hang of lumps... We went out for breaky this morning and he had some of my cooked baby spinach omg he loved it.. i was so surprised! kept wanting more.. how wierd. good tho i guess.. i took a pic of him with it hanging out him mouth was soo cute, ill upload it tomorrow.. eheh

hope everyones having a good night, Ash is fast alseep in his cot.... yes.... cot! woot, hes fantastic now.. feels weird to put him to bed at night and me still up. Time to stop going to bed with him at 6.30pm everynight! lol

Lauren: Personally I don't think they need meat just yet.. It is a personal choice if you start or not

Tonight I was eating Roast Lamb and Olivia was looking at it longingly so I took a teeny tiny bit off and gave her some.. She wasn't overly fussed..

I am stuffed.. I rode to school this morning.. 9 degress BRR.. It was colder then I though hehe.. I left Olivia home with poor broken Simon She went to sleep before I got home so I went to a friends for coffee and got home at 11 .. 3 hours Olivia free. *faint* Then I rode to school again this afternoon.. Olivia stayed home again.. then I went to Footy with Ethan.. Once again Olivia stayed home.. All up today we were separated for 5 hours and a bit.. I was feeling so guilty by then end of it but we survived and Daddy had such much needed Olivia time..

I have fallen asleep about 4 times since 6 O'clock so I don't think it will be a late night for me
