Baby Stock Cubes??

steph1505 · Mar 8th, 2010, 13:45 PM

Does anyone use these?!

I thought stock cubes were unsuitable due to their salt levels and then I seen these!

Does anyone else use them? Or has anyone heard anything about them?!

Thanks

Im supposing you could make up your own stock by boiling a few herbs, a carrot, potato and other veg ifywim? I make my own stock in general and dont put salt in and just boil 'leftovers' from when i cook, I keep it all in the freezer til i need to make stock, its stuff like the odd chunk of potato or carrot, celery, a garlic or 2, ginger, broccoli stalk, honestly the list goes on!

I bought some of the Boots baby stock cubes which we've used in our dinners as Aisling eats the same as us. I bought 4 boxes at once and wish I hadn't - they're the most tasteless things ever, no point in them at all!

Yea I heard of these. You can buy them from Boots, the normal ones have too much salt.

you can buy low salt stock in the special dietary needs bit at the supermarket. Its maybe not as low salt as baby stock but see Lu's comments. I have to admit i sometimes use normal strength stock but dilute alot more. Sometimes i think salt is the bane of my life when it comes to feeding baby!!
