Grits are a hit

[Anonymous]

Hi Ladies,

I actually have good news!! We have given Cooper grits for the last 3 monrings and they have gone over wonderfully. I haven’t been able to do rice or oatmeal cereal (however I think we might be out growing our MSPI and will try oatmeal in a few weeks again) so my mom said why not grits? The nutramigen is corn based, he has had corn in his baby food so it was a logical next step, I just hadn’t thought of it. Anyway he has done wonderfully on them and I was able to find some quick cooking ones that you microwave that are just the corn and B vitamins…. Just wanted to give all of those moms with lo’s who can’t to rice or oatmeal another option that seems to be working for us.

WTG Cooper. Grits sound very interesting. What do they taste like???

Therese,

Not sure how to describe what grits taste like. They are ground corn… It is a southern staple, I would assume you guys have something similar in Aus but I haven’t a clue what it would be. I just know I use lots of butter and salt as to me they don’t have much taste at all, but Coop seems to like them as he doesn’t know any different.

Beth,

I’d love to try grits with Niko. Her daily potato is getting old. What brand are you using? Where did you find it? I’ve only been finding instant polenta but that has all kinds of spices in it.

Yana,

I just got the Quaker quick cooking grits from my grocery store in the cereal isle. They aren’t instant but close as they only take 3.5 min in the microwave. They only have the hominy(corn) and then added b-vitamins.

if grits are a hit then my mind is headed to making cornbread only adding things to it (if baby can tolerate other foods) like pureed babyfood, etc to make a baby-friendly finger food, hmmmm
