Baby-poll poll Does anyone know how to make carrot baby food? I usually microwave my frozen stuff but I got some fresh baby carrots and don`t know how to make them. Any suggestions?

Just steam them until cooked but not overdone, mash and serve! In fact my son had steamed carrots mashed with cooked lentils and rice for lunch today. Altho they say no seasonings until babies are a year old I always add a pinch of salt to his food.

steam with the skins on, the skin has most of the nutrients that your really looking for, add to some potato or sweet potato and blitz. personally i would never se a microwave as i carries on cooking and can burn baby from inside out. bain marie cook is the safest way!!! good luck hun xx

I don`t boil any food I feed to my daughter as it removes most of the good nutrients from it! I steam or bake everything!

you have to boil them until they are soft just like when you would make mashed potatoes, then mash them up really good. the softer the better, but you dont want them boiled to the point wehre they are completly mushy and watery. but they should be pretty soft for baby. food processor would probably work. ive never made baby food, but im pretty sure this is how to do it when the carrots are fresh and raw. if they were canned i would say mash, heat, stir. =)

  1. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  2. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  3. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  4. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  5. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  6. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  7. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  8. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  9. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  10. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
