Interesting that presentation alone changes the perspective of the whole meal. (: </p> <p>@swurlygurl: I definitely see giving her smoothies with fresh fruit, I've just never seen someone make it with purées. It caught me so off guard. </p> <p>I'm glad I was able to ask on here since I guess in retrospect it doesn't seem as bad as when I first saw it. It makes more sense now that I think about it in terms of a full meal and not just a bottle full of purée and milk.

No cereal, but various fruits and veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091587 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 06:33:12 +0000 Cole 1091587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strange, I guess if it isn't meant to replace a normal feeding it is fine? I guess really, if she put it in one of those refillable pouches for the baby I would just consider it relatively normal so I guess it isn't that big of a deal. Plus with as fast as some pediatricians toss out a prescription for miralax at least she tried prunes first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091487 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:16:25 +0000 Arden 1091487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Odd. It could be worse. At least the child is older (one you said?) so it's not like she's putting this in a teeny baby's bottle, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091482 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:08:03 +0000 birdofafeather 1091482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think its too thick for a bottle too. Combo seems weird but I was thinking breast milk not cows milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091440 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 23:23:22 +0000 hellocupcake 1091440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: right? I wasn't sure if I was missing something with the purée/milk combination. I guess it just really caught me off guard and was wondering if it's because she's young? Who told her to do that? I wondered if others had ever thought to do that...hmmm. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091437 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 23:19:30 +0000 HLK208 1091437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: that's an odd combination. A purée in a bottle? It would be too thick I would imagine. Dairy makes people more constipated so I don't know why she would add the milk. I also always heard baby cereal in a bottle is a big no-no. I usually gave more water and heated prune purée when DD was constipated (6-8 months).</p> <p>I've made fruit/veggie smoothies for DD since she was about 9 months and had already tried the fruits and veggies without a reaction (banana, kale, blueberries and Greek yogurt). She did fine with them in a straw cup. She never used a bottle since they were so thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoothies-for-baby#post-1091433 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 23:12:17 +0000 hellocupcake 1091433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was watching Teen Mom 3, don't judge me, and saw that one of the moms gave her daughter a bottle with purées prunes (because she hasn't pooped), baby cereal (to thicken it), and milk. </p> <p>Is that appropriate? I'm genuinely curious. I was under the impression that cereal in the bottle is a big fat no, but I've never heard of anyone putting purées in with milk...I guess it's like a baby smoothie...does that make it okay? </p> <p>The baby is maybe a year old or younger, if that makes a difference? :/ </p>
