Adding oil for nutritional purposes?

[missvicplum]

I am a new mum, originally from England but living in Germany these days. Everyone here is told by health professionals that they must add plant oil - ideally rapeseed - to all baby food before serving as the healthy fats in these help the babies absorb more nutrients from their food.
Does anyone do this in the UK?
I have several allergies and am worried that oilseed rape a major allergen...
Thanks for sharing your opinions & experiences :-)

The same advice is given here in switzerland. I had never come across it at home, so I never bothered with it. My older son was weaned to fruit and veg first and then onto meat and fish following the general AK concept. He was breast fed till he self weaned at one. He has never suffered from any nutrient deificiencies, is perfectly healthy and passed every one of his checkups with flying colours. I'll be doing the exact same with my younger son when time comes to wean him.
