I have noticed that my babies are not eating much veg or fruit. i am wondering if i am cutting it up small enough. what sort of texture should it be. at the moment i am trying to match the size of the worms.

I'd offer green first meal of the day, maybe even try hand feeding. My baby eats greens pretty good but only if I hand feed her.
You also might try just one or two items at time. I generally start with romain, not the best green but its tender and most babies seem to like the taste. It helps them learn greens are food.

i have soft herbs in the Kitchen i tried some basil today and they seem to like it i also got a bag of mixed leaves from the supermarket but i am concerned about the amount of chlorine they use in the production process. Any thoughts on this would be welcome
