My daughter is 6 months old and I was wondering if I can blend her formula milk with some strawberries to make a little strawberry milkshake for her? Had anyone done this before? Is it okay? I can't tell 😂

Yes as long as she don’t choke on the small seeds

This will be fine for her, there’s no difference between that and starting her on foods, personally though I would keep milk and foods seperate at this age though so give her some strawberry purée first and then a bottle

I've started giving her home made vegetable and fruit purees, I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and wanted to try some new thing, thank you ❤

maybe like a strawberry smoothie with yoghurt instead of formula as an option 💕 sounds like your little one has a good appetite with enjoying purées and having interest in food

which yoghurt would you recommend? Is greek yoghurt okay? Thank you! Yes she always just used to stare at us when we would eat food and start sucking on her hands 😂 bless her x

Greek yoghurt would be perfect as it is natural and unsweetened, great source of probiotics and calcium for their little bellies and you’d naturally be sweetening it with the strawberries or blueberries or any berry of choice really 🥰
If they have that food interest some soft cheese like fresh mozzarella can also be good to introduce at this age as a little snack or even to get them to start grabbing at foods etc x

girl you've been more helpful than my health visitor 😂😂😂 thank you so much!!

you’re welcome lovely ☺️ the only thing I would probably monitor is maybe her poos could change slightly from the dairy so start with little amounts at a time

I will do! I can already tell her poos have changed since giving her the purees, thank you so much Alanna x I appreciate it

When my baby started eating yea I did give him some of my smoothies, I didn’t make it JUsT for him but I made my daily ones and yeah he had a couple of sips. He esp loved avocado smoothie, it’s a nice thick texture perfect for spoon feeding/weaning and to this day at 3yrs he still loves smoothies, avocado his fav actually. And yea I do put yogurt into my smoothies too, just don’t add honey and not too much sugar in the first year where it’s way too sweet, some fruits like strawberries don’t even need any sweetener coz it’s naturally sweet already (Avos do need it, I add like a tb of condensed milk into mine)

You can also freeze them into icypole moulds and they make awesome teethers for teething
