hi Ester

i have a couple of questions: 1) is it ok to let a 7 month old try and taste sorbet ice cream? my brother keeps offering him ice cream when i dont look joking around and my baby loves it.......i just want to make sure there is no harm 2) you always say that we should add tehina golmit or shkedia to the food.....is that to fruit and vegetables or just fruit? also, is it mandatory? thanks,

1. Sorbet: it depends what is in the sorbet.....if it is just fruit and ice, and it is a fruit that is ok, then why not? 2. I would be careful of ice cream.....it is milk, and milk is not really recommended until after age 1 year. 3. adding tehina or shkedia adds calories to fruit and vegetables, which are very low in calories. It also adds calcium, iron, and protein, which are lacking in fruits and veggies.​
