Sweetcorn and Meat Questions
« on: November 03, 2005, 18:07:21 pm »
Hi!
I was just wondering if any of you guys has mushed up sweetcorn to feed your LO's I was going to give it to DS but DH said he thought it wouldnt mush properly. Also I was slightly confused as what age they recommend to start LO's on meat?

The guidelines I've seen are 8 mo for meat and 10 mo for corn. The reason why it's so late for both is that they aren't easily digested, especially corn. Here's a chart that might help

I have given my little one sweetcorn since 6 months, she is digesting it fine and I am waiting for meat until 8 months although she is already on chicken and fish (from six months).

in Oz both ar recommended from 6 mo - i have not done meat yet (will start this weekend) but i do corn - the best way i do it is pureeing it with pumpkin - some little bits of corn remain but not a problem.

I have given my lo sweet corn since 6 monhs. i steam and puree then push trough a sieve to get rid of the "skin?" of the corn. It comes out like a mush.
