I still feel oddly guilty when I go out of my way to include fat in a meal, but my body sure knows how much it wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1380218 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 23:20:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 1380218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use butter, Olive oil, and grapeseed oil to cook most of our food.

It's a good fat and babies/toddlers need a lot more fats than adults! I purposefully use extra fats in J's food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1380139 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 22:27:21 +0000 Beehive 1380139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Thanks! For some reason I have always thought of butter as "bad" fat since it's saturated fat (as opposed to the fat in olive oil, avocado oil, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1380134 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 22:25:24 +0000 sarac 1380134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fat is really crucial for brain development, especially before age 2. A healthy amount of good fats is CRUCIAL for their long term health! Go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1380090 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:57:44 +0000 Beehive 1380090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I feel a lot better now.

I wouldn't worry about any if them at this point though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379952 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:04:58 +0000 birdofafeather 1379952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we cook in butter and olive oil for us all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379892 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:49:12 +0000 lemondrop 1379892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were having trouble with him gaining weight at around a year, our pediatrician recommended using it as often as we could until he got back on track.</p> <p>He likes it and it helps him eat his veggies, so until weight in the other direction becomes a concern we are going to keep using it. I'd prefer he had butter from a good source rather than margarine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379889 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:48:57 +0000 dolphin 1379889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use butter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379884 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:47:26 +0000 immabeetoo 1379884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: we use butter for some things and avocado oil for others. the fat is definitely good (for everyone, IMO) especially for babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379881 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:47:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 1379881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either one is fine (butter and/or olive oil)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/butter-for-lo#post-1379880 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 20:46:53 +0000 Dandelion 1379880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Butter is good!

DH and I cook nearly all our food in olive oil, but when our nanny prepares LO's meals (he's 15 months), she often uses butter. Is that okay at this age? Should I ask her to use olive oil instead, or is the fat good at this point? </p>
