She was a little late to switch from puréed foods. We actually found out she liked it by giving her the little cubes out of miso soup one day, and it stuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143306 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:29:24 +0000 littlejoy 2143306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I press it (or sometimes just crumble it right into the pan). Cook in olive oil or coconut oil until lightly browned. I'll add a tiny bit of salt, or toss it in some tahini. You can also bake it, but I haven't tried that method. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143278 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:15:07 +0000 Freckles 2143278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just steamed silken tofu, added a bit of soy sauce and fed it to her. So sad she doesn't like it anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143258 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:52:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2143258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: how do you prepare it?</p> <p>Saw that it's good for Popsicles too! Will have to get silken tofu next time we're at the Asian mart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143180 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:05:53 +0000 littlejoy 2143180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give it to DD once per week or so. It's totally fine. She had always preferred it cooked, but I put silken tofu in smoothies, and she loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143178 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:04:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2143178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: oh thanks! I always forget I can add silken tofu to soup. DD1 might like that too. I always have homemade stock in the freezer so this is a great option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143151 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:49:35 +0000 bunnylove08 2143151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make tofu soups for DD. She is really into Thai rice soup so we usually add some tofu white rice and ground pork to the soup. </p> <p>If you do not want to give your LO meat yet you can use stock of our choice and when the stock boils add tofu to it and rice (if you want to give her rice). My DD eats it up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143120 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:32:15 +0000 regberadaisy 2143120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Peasinapod: oh cool! I'm trying to be very cognizant of giving iron rich foods now bc dd 1 was severely anemic. So, good to know tofu is rich in iron too. I was doing it for protein because I'm not ready to give meats yet. :)<br /> I just took maybe 1 oz raw and blended it with one banana. I didn't want to add too much in case she didn't like the taste of raw tofu. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143110 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:29:40 +0000 Peasinapod 2143110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No suggestions but thanks for the reminder! My Dr recommended tofu for the iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tofu-for-baby#post-2143102 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 08:28:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2143102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you feed your baby (12m &amp; under) tofu?<br /> Yesterday I pureed some raw with a banana and she really liked it!<br /> Looking for some more ways to prep it for her. </p>
