Newbie with intro and question re: recipe for toddler

[Guest guest]

I used to and still do cook lentils, drain them, and them stir in BBQ sauce.

My kids love it! With canned kidney beans, I have memories of puttting two

on the end

of our forks, and them pretending they were shoes and we would have them run

around the plate, before popping them in our mouthes. (We can be strange

sometimes.)

 

You can also mash/puree cooked split peas, stir in some soy-milk and season

for soup. Hope this helps. --Tracy

Hi,

 

My 15 month old son LOVES black beans and

humus mixed together. Sometimes, I throw olive oil

sauted kale into the mix for an extra boost.

When Miles was working with limited teeth I

would mash it together with a fork and he seemed to

have no problems.

 

Personally, I can't stomach it but Miles also likes

kidney beans with a " chreeze " sauce.

 

Hope this helps,

Fran

Wendy,

 

My twin girls are 9 1/2 months and both have two bottom teeth. Our doc said

that with or without teeth, by 9 months, they are pretty good at mashing up

soft foods. My girls love red beans and when we are in a hurry I use canned.

I just partially drain the beans then microwave them covered for about four

minutes. This softens them up and then I cut the beans in half (with a sharp

knife so they don't get smashed). They have not had ANY problems at all with

them. I plan on introducing a variety of beans this way as they try new

foods. They are just learning to feed themselves so they don't want ANY

mashed foods Shelled & split mung beans, as well as lentils are also good

to try. They are small and if cooked until soft they are easily mashed by the

toothless HTH and welcome!

The Vegetarian Baby book I have talks about beans a lot. one thing she

suggests is actually grinding them up BEFORE soaking or cooking them.

It makes a powder that can be added to lots of foods easily as a great

source of protein. You might want to get that book.

 

My son is 13 months old. Nice to meet you!
