I personally wouldn't bother with the muslin at all...just give large chunks of soft fruit that she can hold and suck on. We went down the BLW route so had normal food from day 1 - no puree, mesh feeders etc...just chunks of real food.]]> Mon, 02 Jan 2012 11:38:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419521&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419521 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419469&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419469 Author: Kellz

I used one of those mesh feeders u can get from the supermarket for about $10 I think- the have a little mesh bag and a handle.]]> Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:08:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419469&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419437&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419437 Author: SethsMama

I would think pear and nashi would be fine, but maybe par-boil the apple.
it doesn't need to be mushy, just soft enough she can gum out the good juice!
I'm not sure how well they go through muslin but I would think banana and avo would be ideal. (I BLW and my DS was fine with them when he started at around 5 1/2 months)
Hope that helps!


ooo and canned peaches etc in natural juice...no boiling needed then!]]> Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:13:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419437&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419437 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419434&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419434 Author: BikeBaby

Oh man there are so many things to think about when starting bubs on solids! Saw plunket the other day and they suggested I give DD (5 months) some fruit wrapped in muslin, a big chunk of apple or pear so she can have a munch without actually eating it ... this leads to MORE questions ...

1. Can I use any apple or pear or are there certain types (braeburn, nz rose etc, nashi etc) that you should start with?
2. To wrap them in muslin should they be really ripe like they would be if you were to feed them mushed up?
3. How do you wash the muslin!? Surely if you just put it through with the rest of the washing there will be residue left from the washing detergent but surely I also have to wash them before she uses them so there is no residue from the factory!?

Honestly I have no idea ... my poor child ]]> Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:54:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41258&PID=1419434&title=fruit-wrapped-in-muslin#1419434
