I have been thinking about slow cooking meat for my 10 month old. Have you tried any other slow cooker baby food since this post? How did your daughter like the different meats? My son loves chicken. We have given him pork in a mesh bag to suck on and he seems to like it. We also tried him with beef but he didnt like it at all.
ReplyDeleteYes! I throw in vegetables in with the meat a lot and cook it all together, and then puree them separately. I've also used the slow cooker to make applesauce and pureed pears. As long as you put a little bit of liquid in, you can slow cook really almost anything. My daughter likes chicken the best. She can be iffy on beef too, but if we mix it in with pureed veggies, she'll eat it right up.
