chick peas at 8 months

[sarahjoy]

Hi There.  I asked my doctor about the spices.  My Lo loves spices, he also eats peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg.  My lo is 8 mo 3 weeks and he's been eating chickpeas and spinach for about 2-3 weeks so I say go for it.

Thanks Sarah.  I made a concoction of spices this morning that I am trying.  I am also off to the store in a bit to get chick peas.  I am very excited to try this!

For those that give chick peas as a finger food, do you serve them plain?  I just gave them to C and he didn't seem that enthused.  But I almost think they need spices? 

I tried roasting them and they seem crunchy and not baby like.  Good for M (a toddler), but not a baby without teeth.

The only time I tried them as finger food was picked out of a stew I made.  I don't imagine they taste very good plain.    Not sure how else they would be good though.  Have you tried googling some recipes?

Just be careful for wind, I gave DS2 alot fo chickpea dip the other day and we both had terrible wind at night... maybe build up the quantities slowly

Thanks for the warning.  I will be mindful of that!
