December 27, 2006 13:36 - Can My Baby Eat Bio Yogurt?
So what exactly IS bio yogurt - and is it safe for your baby to eat?
To make yogurt, milk is heated and bacteria are added as it cools. The bacteria then convert the lactose in the milk to lactic acid, which makes the yogurt set.
Heat treatments then ensure that the final product does not contain any of these bacteria - but bio-yogurt does not receive this treatment, so the bacteria are present in the yogurt you eat. Bio-yogurts often contain additional cultures that are believed to be beneficial to health.
Although the true benefits of bio-yogurts have yet to be fully proven, it is felt that they aid with digestion and reduce the presence of bad bacteria. They are particularly useful for replenishing the gut with good bacteria after a bout of diarrhea, for example.
The bacteria used in yogurts are generally the same as the ones naturally present in your baby's gut, so (with your doctor's consent) it is not harmful to give him full-fat bio-yogurts from 6 months of age UNLESS the label indicates otherwise. As a simple precaution, you can contact the manufacturer directly to ask about the suitability of their particular product for your baby.

December 28, 2006 13:20 - Today Is Eat Vegetarian Day - So Try This Pumpkin And Barley Baby Food Recipe
Serve this delicious pumpkin and barley baby food recipe to your baby and help him celebrate "Eat Vegetarian Day"!
This recipe calls for homemade vegetable stock - a healthy alternative to commercial stock, which may contain salt. It's very easy to make and - if you make a large quantity in advance - you can freeze it and use it for several meals.
This recipe is suitable for babies from 7 months of age who have been introduced to all the ingredients separately - but be aware that barley contains gluten, so this recipe is unsuitable for a gluten-free diet.
HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE STOCK
2 large onions 1 turnip 2 large carrots 2 celery stalks 1 garlic bulb 10 peppercorns 1 bay leaf pinch parsley pinch thyme
Peel all the vegetables and cut them into large chunks. Peel the garlic cloves. Place the vegetable chunks and garlic cloves in a large pot and cover them with water. Add the herbs and peppercorns to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the vegetables gently for an hour. Cool, then strain and use in your recipe, or store.
PUMPKIN AND BARLEY DINNER
2tsp olive oil 4oz pumpkin, chopped finely 1/2 small onion, chopped 1/2 garlic clove, crushed 4oz pearled barley (pre-soaked for one hour) tiny pinch thyme 12 fl oz homemade vegetable stock 2 sage leaves
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan and cook the pumpkin and onions until golden brown. Add the garlic and herbs and continue to cook until well browned. Add the drained barley and the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, covered, for 20-30 minutes. Check the amount of stock in the pot frequently - the barley will absorb most of the liquid and the end result should be very moist but not runny.
