Babies' meals in Netherlands

| Hello mums, I am italian, I live in France, and was lately in holiday in your beautiful country.
Sorry I cannot speak dutch!
Emilio our 9 months old baby came with us in holidays, so I had to
buy baby food for him in supermarkets.
I needed help so I asked to a dutch mother who was
buying there too.
During the conversation, she told me babies are supposed to eat meat / fish
only twice a week.
I could not ask for more details but I am so curious to learn more about
that... is that true? How much meat / fish are they supposed to eat exactly every week? How are they
fed the rest of the week?
I am asking because I find the French cuisine to be too centrated on
meat, and I know every country has different rules for baby feeding, so I would like to learn about
the "dutch way".... can you help?
Thanks a lot and hope to be back soon in beautiful Netherlands!

| Marta,
I think it is not that difficult. Whether you feed a baby fish or meat once/twice
or more times a week is up to your own choice. How do you feel about feeding you baby those
products? The only thing you should guard is that you baby gets enough and the rigth nutrients. But
instead of fish or meat, you can also use cheese, eggs or any other substitute. And what the Dutch
lady told you, can be her guideline. But it is not a common guideline in our country. Some people
eat strictly vegetarian, others prefer meat. It is the combination of nutrients that should be OK to
enable your child to grow and develop.

I think my baby ate regular baby food (sometimes homemade, sometimes bought in the supermarket)
every night. The only thing you need to be careful with is some ingredients: avoid salt, avoid using
a lot of spices, and maybe avoid some fruits (like ehmm...... Let me ask our fellow members...)
For the Dutch girls: WIE WEET welke fruitsoorten/groentensoorten er door babies tot 1 jaar
niet gegeten mogen worden? |

sorry, he did not eat baby food... he ate just as we ate (only maybe chopped in smaller bites). In
the supermarket you can buy it as baby food |

Beter dan wat? Dan de NLse keuken? Zou goed kunnen  MARTA: maybe try not to feed your baby spinach and other vegetables with nitrate in them
more than once a week |

| ok so maybe in your country there are not as precise guidelines as in France....
Here every doctor recommends a precise "formula", which is 30g of meat/fish at lunch (with
vegetables/carbs), and cheese with vegetables/carbs for supper. Every day.
I thought you also
had common guides shared by every doctor, but maybe the choice is more "free", up to any mum.
Marimammavanalec, sorry but I don't appreciate the italian
guidelines very much for little babies: they use "meat/fish wheat" instead of fresh one, and they
boil vegetables for hours... they use parmesan every day.... I personally prefer the French way, but
still I am interested to learn all different habits.
P.S.: of course I was buying baby
food just because we were on holidays, I usually cook at home!

We don't have special babyfood guidelines, the advise is about the same as food for infants and
adult but in smaller portions and no salt added.
Children need proteïns for growth, but it
don't have to be meat or fish, just milk is fine too. The main food for babies of the age of 9
months is breastmilk or formula, wich contains everything they need.
If your eating a healthy,
varied diet yourself and normally the italian kitchen is, you can give that to your baby and so he
learns all the different taste of good food and appreciate it. |

M&j, all you wrote sounds very sensible! 
Thank you for the
clear answer.
(sorry I mistook one word in my last message... "meat/fish wheat" instead of "meat/fish
flour". |

I agree with M&j
And I've never fed my baby any meat or fish during the first year. I
think it's very hard to digest for these young children, especially meat. Only fruit, vegetables,
rice, eggs, pasta and bread.. and of course (breast) milk.
I used Gill Rapley's
guidelines mostly

Maar ze heeft wel gelijk. Ik worden de groenten uren gekookt eer ze worden gegven. Zo zonde.
Daarintegen kun je waar ik woon (geldt niet voor heel Italie) geen potjes eten kopen |
