Do you add maggi or knorr chicken cubes for you baby's food

For about four months my baby lost appertite so I used to add maggi or knorr chicken cubes(a quarter of the full cube) to his rice. Which he likes the flavour and eats.but I read some articals telling it's harmful. So I'm going to stop it right away. But I'm worried thinking I have done something bad and fed something dangerous to my baby. Please tell me what to do. I know some kids eat sausages often and my baby has never tasted sausage or maggi noodles. Only the soup cube I add to the rice. Will this cause trouble to my babys health in future?how can I check??

**taking notes on how to make chicken stock** Seriously, I wouldn't touch a Maggi product with a 10 foot pole. MSG is some nasty stuff, and it is in a lot of Knorr products, too. That stuff makes me SO sick. It's right up there with aspartame for me on the "avoid like the plague" list.

Another way to get more flavour into your chicken stock is to roast your chicken wings with some veg,ie onions, carrots,celery,herb etc.Then when cooked bash them up a bit with a potato masher,add boiling water to roasting tin (if you want,scrape everything into a saucepan for this) and simmer for as long as you can bare!

Don't worry but as other ladies said don't use it again. those brands contain msg too. Kallo organic in waitrose is better but you should only use a tiny bit. It is so easy to make your own. Even simmering a carcass just covered with water for 30-40 minutes will give enough flavour for a baby's taste buds. You could put some mashed veg through the rice for more flavour. Babies/kids go through phases and go off things just like adults. The Kallo ones are great for a quick job if you ran out (or dont want to make from scratch), carefour sells a low salt version also :) <em>edited by Purple on 01/05/2013</em>

purple; i worked in a high end restaurant in london; chicken stock with wings takes a minimum of 6 hours - why not try in and you will see the difference. seriously? I dont care where you worked, want to know where I worked? Like I said, I make all our stocks. Marian, look here for some stock recipes for kids : http://www.babyavenue.co.nz/Annabel+Karmel+Recipes.html

It's so very easy to make your own chicken stock. Use the bones from a previously roasted/cooked chicken (or buy a pack of chicken wings), place in a pan with half an onion, a bay leaf, half a chopped carrot, perhaps a brocolli stalk and/or cauliflower stalk and a couple of black pepper corns, cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Cool, remove the vegetables, pepper corns etc and strip remaining meat from the bones. Use the stripped meat in a stir fry and rapidly boil the remainder of the stock until reduced by 50%. Freeze in ice cube trays and add to baby's food as required. No salt at all and all the goodness of the chicken and vegetables. You need to simmer chickenstock for at least 6 hrs to get any real flavour into it. offcourse you dont. Make it from chicken wings, 2 hours and its done! Ive made pretty much all our stock (all flavours) for years. In two hours you may get a vague chicken flavour but you will get no depth of flavour; even if you use thighs. Chicken stock should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. Fish stock you can do in 20 minutes. When you make it from wings you get a very very rich stock, and yes, it takes 2 hours, give it a go :)

Then beat it into submission with a rolling pin when the six hours of simmering has failed as they usually do in this house. <em>edited by DesertRose1958 on 01/05/2013</em>

Hi Marian You won't have done your baby any lasting harm but it's best not to use stock cubes in their food. Baby food may taste bland to us but they really don't need the added salt of stock cubes. There are some great baby food ideas and tips on child nutrition [url=http://www.annabelkarmel.com/'>here[/url'>

Stock cubes can have a very high salt content so I'd be careful about using them. Salt should not be added to a baby's food. Maybe try a sprinkle of herbs? :)
