I had never heard of this. Can you please explain about the nitrates? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-thin-your-purees#post-249417 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:35:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 249417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used breastmilk once but honestly since we didn't start solids til just now (4 mos) I don't even really thin it. Yes, it has some texture, but I've been watching him carefully and he does great with it. So I'm not doing the extra work lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-thin-your-purees#post-249401 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:23:36 +0000 SAHM0811 249401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If not the liquid from steaming, I'd use filtered water or formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-thin-your-purees#post-249398 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:22:22 +0000 heffalump 249398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you said, I would just use leftover liquids from the steamed veggies, or I would just add some water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-to-thin-your-purees#post-249395 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 10:21:03 +0000 regberadaisy 249395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know breastmilk is probably the best thing to use to add nutrients.<br /> But I don't really have that much supply to begin with so I'm hesitant to use the precious I have for thinning...</p> <p>But I'm also afraid to use say, stock, because it'll be another new thing to add to her diet.</p> <p>I know if it's veggies that I'm boiling I can just use the liquids to retain all the nutrients. But what about when you're steaming carrots and you're not suppose to use the water because of the nitrates?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
