Thanks I''ll look in boots for sauces or even online when I get chance later.

There is only so much you can seperate though isn't there.

Do you do lasanagh or alike - have you any recipe tips Lauren?

She has fruit every day at the moment banana strips or puree but would like to adventure out little

meat: mince, beef, chicken, turkey, pork

eggs: grey area but I'm giving eggs as she hasnt had any reaction; I did give it very slowly.

I give stews etc and do Katies mostly seperately if I'm using gravy, oxo cubes etc because I'm terrified of the salt thing.

Give cheese as an alternative to meat, great on veggies.

Oil ok for cooking and use real butter where possible. Babies need lots of fat to grow.

I give versions of what we eat and yes there are gravies and sauces too for babies...heinz do them but they are like golddust to find but I have found them online in Asda, they have a pasta sauce and annabel Karmel do little pasta shapes for babies.

The odd chip wont hurt her but a healthy alternative (for us all) would be to chip potatoes and put some olive oil on to them and do them in the oven, same with other veggies and great finger foods

It's hard at first Wobbles, I kept going to add salt at first. Maybe if you take her stuff out before you add any seasoning and make her a little home made white sauce or something?

Whats wrong with herbs??

I don't cook with packet mixes at all and to be honest, usually find it to taste better without (for bolognese I use herbs, tomatoes and some nice veg and it's great). Maybe you can do this? or if you really like the packet mixes, make her mini versions. It can be annoying!! The other day I made beef stew, so I did hers in a seperate pan with just water, veg and black pepper - it didn't taste much different from ours.

Agreed with what the others said.

If you're going to give her what you're having, I'd keep a pan or something separate for Caitlin's and then put in whatever you're cooking, remembering to leave out what she can't have. Then you can cook all your food together and then just puree/mash hers at the end. x

Yer I make my own sauce Tilly but not the sausage casserole - I use toms soups etc but can never be bothered with the white sauce from scratch when doing lasanagh as I cocked up one lol! Have them in for convenience sometimes too.

Will come back read answers properly in bit or dinner be burnt haha

Mamafy

we're having stew and dumplings Katie is having stew and potatoes

Wobbles

What do you put in your stew? what then do you put in after you hve seperated her portion if anything? Homemade stew again I use stocks salt herbs

Mamafy

beef, carrots, onions and swede and use the water as stock

sam's mum

That's exactly what my mum did for us, and what I was planning to do. Think salt's the main concern, especially if you're using packets of stuff and ready-made sauces etc x

Just to add to this, I use the above with parsnips, potato, leeks, celery and garlic as it gives it a lovely warm flavour.
