When should my 13month old baby boy come off processed food?

Question

What age should he be eating Chicken Nuggets or Fish Fingers, etc?

Answer 1

As soon as our baby had teeth we gave him our food bended, he is now 12months old and he has food that he can hold cooked (broccoli, carrot, new potato, chicken etc) and some food in a dish. He will only eat a little of the finger food but he's getting used to having it, as he progresses we will cut down the amount of spoon fed food that he has and increase the finger food. That is the way we fed our three daughters and it worked for them and is working for him. PS avoid nuggets and fish fingers, they're full of rubbish, try proper pieces of chicken or chunks of haddock.

This always works for my son. Take 6 or 8 prunes. Put them in a pot with about 1-1/2 pints water. Add a cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over high heat then lower heat and simmer until the prunes start to fall apart (you might need to add more water) and liquid is reduced into a thickish syrup. Remove the cinnamon stick, puree the prunes and the syrup and add to some oatmeal. I usually don't give my son milk while he is constipated since I find the milk usually makes it worse. Also try giving her fresh raw, fruit and veggies with skin if she can chew it. And, well you are probably already doing this but lots and lots of water! Good luck! Hope she feels better!

Answer 3

our daughter is only 9 months old and eats normal (not baby) food. they say at about 12 months they should quit eating baby food. But she does not like it and don't want anything to do with it.. So instead of making her starve she eats what we eat. and NO... not just chicken nuggets. If we eat it she eats it.. that simple.

Answer 4

It depends on his and his parents allergies, his teething and his interest on trying new food, which will be an indication of the right time.
IF there are allergies in the family (any kind), no rush on feeding him fish, eggs and even wheat until he is 2y-old. If you want to feed him those foods, try one at a time for 3 days at least to be sure he has no reaction.
If there are no concerns about allergies, and he is willing to try new foods (he reaches or asks for what you or others are eating when he sees you), and he chews what he tries, then you should start feeding him regular food (tiny chopped or semi blended).

Answer 5

Gee, ain't it grand you come on a public forum where anyone can claim to be anything, a doctor, a mother, or hey even God himself to give you advise on your child's health and well being but in fact they are simply a pimply faced teen who hasn't seen the light of day for a week since he keeps locked up in his room, on the computer pretending to have all these answers.
With a question involving the health of your child, call the doctor!!!

Answer 7

Oh god, why would you feed your child processed foods and why would you want to feed them chicken nuggets and fish fingers? What the hell is wrong with real food? Don't tell me you have chicken nuggets for dinner every night.
Spaghetti, potatoes, rice, stirfrys, roast dinners, lentils, babies can eat almost anything, but please don't feed them salty processed crap, its not good for them.

Answer 8

use processed foods at most one meal a week for emergency
they are full of salt,preservatives.....
if you are pushed for time have quick things like pasta, grated cheese,cucumber,tomatoes,fruit chunks-apple pear grapes
educate his taste buds so that you cook fresh meals for the whole family and dont cook with salt- add to your own meal if you prefer after.
broccoli cooks in 10 mins-same time as cooking fish fingers!
i also cook too much sauce for pasta,or shepherds pie,and put a portion away in the freezer to have another day.....the kids appreciate nice cooking even if for a while they go through phases of spitting out-
try same stuff when they are very hungry a few days later and you might have success!

Answer 9

my daughter is 13mths old and has been eating the same as me for about 3mths. mainly finger foods such as cooked carrots, chips, chicken nuggets, crisps and biscuits. a lot of her meals consisted of things like mashed potato, veg and cous cous but they have beans, chopped meat and lumpy things like that in it. things like quavers and cooked carrot sticks are a good place to start

Answer 10

At 12 months they should be eating what you're eating. Technically, he's not a baby anymore--he's a toddler. He has teeth now so he doesn't need processed food.
