Home cooked food and deffo no jar ready-made rubbish. I mean have you ever tasted that crap? it's no wonder babies protest thro nappy filling.lol. Kiras fist solid mean was curry, omg did she get in a state but loved every second of it and she still loves curry now. The best thing to start with is mashed up potato and swede with butternut squash.

i have visions of liquidizing big mac and fries for the early feeding stage! ugh! no, go for the fresh food route!

PMSL wot u on about women , u 2 live on take aways lol wot happend ??

Pete you shouldn't be a dad if you have to ask that question pmsl. We all know you'll feed your little one on the best home cooked food you can afford - WHEN a few months old obviously. Breast is best (not yours just in case you've got confused) for the first 3 months at least. I breast fed my second son a whole year due to feeling guilty at failing miserably with my first son, who I strugged with for only a couple of months and made me very depressed as I felt I'd failed him so was determined to get it right second time round.

With both my sons - when their digestive systems were mature enough to start processing more solid food other than just milk - I would cook then puree white meat and vegetables and put the 'portions' into an ice cube tray which I then froze. I then had my own 'ready meals' in miniature. Word of warning DON'T add any salt to anything equally when they are growing up. Forget you've got sugar and salt as there are natural sugars and salts in fruit and vegetables anyway. And monitor how much they sprinkle on their food. Don't introduce your child either to sugar coated cereals.

We have 'taste buds' on our tongue that 'appreciate' various 'flavours' i.e. sweet, sour, spicy etc. The first of these taste buds that are present in babies and young children is the the 'sweet taste buds'. This is why kids just adore anything coated in sugar and turn their nose up at vegetables !!! I'm sure you've read up loads of books, listened to your Health Visitor, Midwife and GP who will all help answer any questions and offer guidance to you - you only need to ask.

So there you go Tips of the Day !!!
