Toast/Bread

Okay, I'm just feeling a bit curious, plus I've never found much information on some of these questions I'm going to ask...

What did you give you child/ren first, bread or toast?
At what age did you give them the above?
Did you give it to them plain or with a spread?
What spreads do you use and at what age is it suitable for them?
What type of bread do you use for your child, white, wholemeal or multigrain?

Thanks

What did you give you child/ren first, bread or toast? Toast

At what age did you give them the above? 7 Months

Did you give it to them plain or with a spread? Marg lightly spread

What spreads do you use and at what age is it suitable for them? Not long after I tryed cream cheese and then vegemite but didnt like either so I spread some avocado on it and she loved it smile

What type of bread do you use for your child, white, wholemeal or multigrain? White as thats what we eat

Toast.
DD1 was 8 months, DD2 was 7 months.
Plain toast for a month or so.
We first used a small ammount of margarine or avocado, or made grilled cheese on toast. We did that from about 9 months.
We use wholemeal smile

What did you give you child/ren first, bread or toast? Toast (cut into soldiers so she could hold them herself.
At what age did you give them the above? 6.5-7mths
Did you give it to them plain or with a spread? avocado or cream cheese (no butter/marg)
What spreads do you use and at what age is it suitable for them? I stuck with the above for a few mths then tried the kids vegemite, then peanut butter (we have no allergies in our family but I kept an eye on her the first few times). A sml amount of mashed banana is good too. At 20mths DDs favourite is sliced tomato on toast!
What type of bread do you use for your child, white, wholemeal or multigrain? Wholemeal or grain bread, whatevers going (no white bread in this house!)

Oh and I've NEVER cut off crusts! I hate waste and didn't want to set a precedent!

Good luck! First foods are so fun!

Toast - at 6 months old
with Marmite
marmite, peanut butter, jam, grilled cheese & nutella
only white bread until about 10 months then grainy bread.

We gave our little man wholemeal toast at 6mo. He did not really know what to do with it and is ended up smooshed!!

I tried with small amount of marj and vegemite and also avocado.

He is now 8mo and loves it. I use to cut it into strips but think he found it easier when cut into 4 squares. Also i leave the crusts on as he tends to try and eat that first.

(they don't sell kids vegemite anymore which is a bummer cause it was slightly less salty)

It is a bummer!!
Anyone happen to know why they stopped selling it?

Nope i've tried to find out but cannot find an answer anywhere. one week i went there and the next week it was gone

Ah they probably got rid of it so they can bring out a homebrand type of kids vegemite in the supermarkets. They seem to take away lots of different things and replace them with homebrand stuff....

I gave my DD toast fingers at around 7 months with a little bit of marg and vegemite or marmite. I started her on white bread, then moved to wholemeal, and now at a year Im giving her the grainy stuff. I only really give her vegemite or marmite, but occasionally I give her jam. She also loves mouse traps!

I'm sorry but MOUSE TRAPS???? What exactly did you mean by that?

Aww what a shame! Im actually surprised it wasnt popular enough. I knew several people who thought it was great! Not just for kids, but even for adults. Its not much difference in flavour to the normal one.

Maybe if they get enough people enquiring/complaining about it, they'll consider making it again.
