Hi

Has any one got a recipe for bacon and veg for a 7 month old?

Thanks

I don't eat meat but i'm pretty sure bacon is a very salty meat as the pork is cured, I stand to be corrected but I didn't give Ben bacon until he was much older hth xxx

I didn't give Izzy bacon till she was well over one and even now she only has it infrequently. She does like it with cheese and potato wedges and sour cream though.

I didn't give Isabella pork till she was a little older and she was over one the first time she had bacon.

I read somewhere that pork is harder to digest than some other meats. I'm not sure how true this is but it did affect what I gave Isabella. I definitely wouldn't give cured meats like bacon until she is much older.

Have you tried fish?

Izzy used to love AK's white fish with sweet potato and orange. And think I gave her salmon too at that age.

Hi

At the moment the only thing he has not really tried is beef (tomorrows tea as i am doing a roast.) and pork. He loves virtually everything but he gets board if he has the same thing e.g. fish 3 times in a week. so running out of ideas as he is eating 2 main meals a day.

what about sauces on the food, would that work, they would give different flavours.
