healthy or unhealthy?
in Baby
Just wondering your opinions about different foods. for example my mil said not to give my lo raisins because they are too sugary and my mum thinks yogurt it a dessert/treat whereas I think it's a good source of calcium and vitamins. If I gave Louise finger foods then yogurt she wouldn't eat but but if I give it to her first then she eats everything. My mum also keeps saying that she'll only give louise 'good' things when she looks after her.......
Yogurts
Organix corn snacks (carrot, tomatoe, sweetcorn)
breadsticks
raisins

I battle with this as I am so worried lo will have a sweet tooth like oh and end up fat like me.
So I'm big on pushing the veg, fruit and meat. It works to some extend as his favourite is basil, spinach and parsnip!Yoghurts only appear every other day as a pud and suprise suprise he LOVES them! He's had a biscotti once and chips and a biscuit thanks to flippin' pil!
I think you have to do whatever you think is best and what works for you and Louise. The list we have going on in July08 forum shows Louise has a very varied and tastey diet so if she has certain foods at your Mums you know she'll catch up (if that makes any sense!!) when she's back with you.
Not sure that answers the question but hope it helps!

Anyway........
Louise is still breastfed as well as her 3 meals a day plus snacks. But she wont take milk from a bottle - either formula or ebm, offering her it when i'm not there. She has gone from 10am till 6.30pm once during the day happily without milk becuase I wasn't there. I spoke to my hv about this being a problem when I return to work for just 1 day a week.
As well as suggesting watering down formula and giving it to her in a beaker and gradually increasing the amount of formula, she said that aslong as she's getting calcium rich foods like cheese and yogurts during the day it would be ok for her to only have her breastmilk morning and night that day.
So - how to I convince my mum that this is ok and that yogurt is good for her in this situation? (my mum thinks I should just move her to formula and then she could have her overnight for me too every now and then. )
