    As stated in OP I'm breast feeding. On joining the Boots Parenting Club I got some free bottles.

    Just a money saving idea. There is no reason why I can't save food in them when I'm going out for the day is there? Saving on buying containers!
  • I agree with all the above! I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, I glanced quickly, but I would use a stick blender as in the early days it gets the food slightly finer than a normal food processor and I would always start off with baby rice then introduce fruit & veg. HTH

    probably not the cheapest but boots sell an annabel karmel grinder for £8

    i would say if you're going to use cubes the rubber trays are much easier to use - i bought some really cheap in tesco last year but they are snowman and christmas tree shapes :rotfl:

    speak to your health visitor if you think baby wants food before 6 months. hardly anyone i know waited that long, my baby was 25 weeks before weaning but my eldest baby was 9 months - eep!
