Sterilising weaning stuff?
Can't remember whether you have to sterilise all the bowls, utensils, storage pots/ice-cube trays etc when making pureed foods! Do you? If so, what?
I only sterilise her spoons atm but have a vague memory of pouring boiling water over/into stuff. Help!!
Bought a hand blender from Tesco's and sweet pots are bogof as are gala apples so gonna do those and carrots.

Gracie still has between 5-7oz 5 times a day. She either wolfs the lot or leaves 2 oz or so, so about 28-35oz a day.
She's squealing her head off atm trying to roll onto her front! Must be all the banana energy lol.
Hope the carrots go down well!
El -Did Oakley like his mush?
Jack started on just rice then i added some mashed banana which he loved. This weekend hes tried carrot and sweet potato and loved them too. Just roasteda butternut squash whilst sunday lunch was cooking so will be trying that this week. Lots of orange poo!!!
I'm sterilising bowls and spoons though and I'll sterilise everything I can until Cole starts chewing hte carpet. After that I'll just stick to sterilising bottles. If I had a dishwasher I'd probably not bother sterilising anything but bottles.
Gonna make a trip to tesco next week for one of those hand mixer thingys...hope they have them in stock! Hubby is off all next weekend so hopefully we can get stuff pureed. Cole actually really seemed to enjoy his fruity yoghurt breakfast stuff (at lunch time) today and was opening his mouth wide some of the time and smiling. I evenm ade him seconds.
Ali - glad to hear Gracie has the same milk habits as Cole -it was bothering me that some days he has quite a bit more milk than other days.
Hollys loving solids and tried corgette today which she loved, the only thing she isn't to keen on is broccoli.
The only prob is he 'found his hands' a few weeks ago and tries stuffing them in even when I'm feeding him!
Got a couple of questions:
1. When my daughter was a baba you could get these heat changing spoons and bowls so you knew that the food was at the right temp. I've looked but can't find any, has anyone else seen any?
2. In Sainsburys they have this flat plastic grater type of thingy that says you don't need to cook fruit / veg you just rub it aganist and it purees it, therefore it's quicker and you lose less of the goodness. Anyone bought one of these? I can't see how it would actually puree it as apose to grating.
Thanks

That grater thing sounds weird!
Gracie permitting I'm gonna cook sweet pots, carrots n apples tom morn and will give her some for tea and the breaky stuff I bought at 11am feed. Found loadsa little pots I used for Alfie but must've chucked the ice-cube trays. They only had one left at tesco yest so I'll put a blob of each into a pot for a yummy tea.
She almost fell asleep on the rug tonight b4 having her bottle, bless her!
Any orange poo today from the carrot gang?!
Boil them for 10 mins? You only need to boil teats for 5 mins if no steriliser. What a load of tosh!
Ooh, bad mummies us!
You all believe me...right?
I use tiny food storage pots at the moment for Coles porridge so its not a hassle to just chuck it in the steriliser with the bottles. By the time it comes to using bigger bowls I won't bother doing anything but wash them.
I sterilise alfies spoons and little pots but not the sieves and pans etc etc just pour boiling water over them.
Dont know whether this is right but it works for me and alfie and thats what counts!
Im getting more and more cross with the government guidelines. The other day i was stressing over 1 of the 'guidelines' and suddenly something clicked inside me and i ranted to hubby that alfies OUR son and not the governments! I know whats best for him-it starts getting too much with tmi.
Soz about that! Needed that!
Bollocks to the government thats what I say - I'll always do what i think is right for Cole. Don't get me started on what I think of the government but they need to stop pushing stuff on people and givet hem the information to make their own informed choices.
I also got a bargain of cow & gate cereals on 4 for ??1 for the porridge and 29p for some others so Cole better like porridge! I'm so sad that i organised all my packet cereals into best before date orders (Cole was napping!) cause the cheapie ones need to be eaten first!
