pureed food MDR

[Himmin]

Our 8 month old twins will need food pureed for them to eat on our cruise. I was hoping that we could just select a meal and have that pureed. Things like a turkey dinner or chicken and veg etc but from contacting Disney Cruise Line they only say fruit and veg can be pureed and anything else would have to be discussed with the head server. Has anybody got any experience with this or had any issues getting purees for their babies?

Thanks everyone!

My baby never ate anything pureed. She happily gnawed away on steamed broccoli stalks and steamed carrots. Anything she could pick up and gnaw on worked fine for her. Google "baby led solids." No need to puree. Makes life much easier.

Hi, we had our 8 month old grand wizard with us last year on the Magic and he had veggies pureed. His mum didn't ask for anything else so I'm unsure of what the resulting answer would be, but I can tell you that they are very accommodating and I'm sure they'll do their best to help.
They did 2 each time for him, just in case he got hungry a bit later on.

The porridge did him in unfortunately, quite an upset tummy, but then he got switched to soya milk and that was much better (he has normal milk at home). Strange!

Have a great cruise

I would not count on DCL preparing pureed foods for you. Yes, they can and will do it...but it takes time and you are limited to what they have available and to what the chef feels comfortable with/wants to prepare. They typically feed the masses first, then deal with the special requests. My baby was hungry when she was hungry, so having jars/squeezies makes more sense to me. Also, you will not be able to take any fresh made food off the ship with you for excursions.

When you say you want to select a meal off the menu and have it pureed, are you thinking that there will be no spices or seasonings on the food? What if everything is heavily seasoned/salted and your kiddos reject it? I would not gamble on feeding them exclusively on foods prepared in a way they are not used to.
