A lot of healthy fat helps brain development. Avocados, quinoa, full fat butter, etc are all healthy fats everyone needs!</p> <p>I gave j quinoa around 7-8 months and he eats it regularly now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656884 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:59:10 +0000 truffleb 656884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>babies need fat!!! avocado is full of good fats that are necessary for brain development. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656854 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:52:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 656854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm giving my LO quinoa today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656845 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:47:11 +0000 anbanan15 656845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quinoa has been a lifesaver for my LO and really is only source of protein.</p> <p>Some LO's do have difficulty with the whole seeds and many found quinoa flakes or using quinoa flour to be better for their digestion when first introducing it to their diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656837 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:43:25 +0000 Goldilocks1107 656837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell your hubby that now is the time to feed LO different things to make him not a picky eater "like SOME people" :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656528 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:00:50 +0000 Freckles 656528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually used quinoa in her chicken porridge, and many people were surprised by how much she loved it.</p> <p>Fat is good, and i totally agree with @Ree723! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656526 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:58:35 +0000 Penny Lane 656526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: hahaha, agree!</p> <p>DH won, I decided to go the premade food route tonight...

Yes, quinoa is fine - DD has been eating that for a while (she's 9 months) and she loves it. Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656522 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:51:28 +0000 Penny Lane 656522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: probably mostly because he (DH) doesn't like it. he was also opposed to me giving LO avo in the first place "because it's fatty" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656521 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:50:49 +0000 owlmom 656521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started giving LO quinoa at 6 months without any problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656520 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:49:41 +0000 Freckles 656520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why the opposition? I gave quinoa around the 7 month mark, and had no problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-thought-on-quinoa#post-656518 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:48:26 +0000 Penny Lane 656518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you feed a 7 month old quinoa? I have left overs and am considering mixing his avo in, but hubs is opposed.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
