Hello Mummies/Daddies, do you have any yummy vegetarian recipes for our nearly 9 month old son? If so, pls do share! My husband and I are not vegetarians, but our baby seems to prefer veggie and fruit dishes. If there are any vegetarian parents out there with advice on how to ensure our baby gets enough nutrition, pls also feel free to share! Thanks !

My nephew who is 10 months loves baby dhal. You need to take 1/4 cup red lentils, 1/4 onion, 1/2 tsp coriander, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1 1/2 cups water, 75g potato, 75 g cauliflower, 75g carrot, 75g green cabbage. wash lentils to remove black bits, chop onion. Take lentils, onion, water and spices and bring to boil and simmer for 20 mins. Chop potato, carrot, cabbage and cauliflower and stir fy for 12-15 mins. Mix with the dahl. Process dahl to consistency that you want (can add water) and serve to baby. Batch freeze the rest.

There are a ton of toddler-friendly vegetarian recipes over here: BBC Good Food http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/vegetarian-kids Martha Stewart http://www.marthastewart.com/360627/kid-friendly-vegetarian-recipes Nutrition for vegetarians https://www.vegsoc.org/basicnutrition

Try cauliflower and brocolli with cheese. Rinse the veggies (cauliflower, brocolli, potato) and chop in cubes. Put the veggies and 1 1/4 cup breastmilk in a pan, bring to boil. Cover and simmer for 15 Mins. Grate cheddar cheese and add to veggies till it has melted in . Mash the mixture and serve to baby

You can try vegetarian risotto for babies. Here's a simple recipe you can try: http://www.tarladalal.com/Spring-Vegetable-Risotto-----(-Baby-and-Toddler)-3085r BUT this recipe might not be a good idea if baby has a problem with dairy products as risotto usually contains cheeses.

I guess, Boiled and Mashed potato, sweet potato, carrots and banana are still the best mixed with breastmilk if you're breasfeeding.

You can make vege patties. http://littlegrazers.com/mini-vegetable-and-cheddar-patties/
