Yes but you may want to serve low salt ones and not offer them every day.

Brilliant, thanks .... Arf to serving a diet of just baked beans every day- the stench would be atrocious! Grin
Just happen to be having a jacket with beans and cheese and thought it would be easier to dish all DCs the same food if possible - she had roast Gammon for lunch- I promise!!!!!!!

My friend changed her DDs nursery after she realised they were giving her a sausage roll and baked beans every single day Shock

Yes. And don't spoon feed, let him squish them in his chubby baby fingers

My 1 yo would eat bb for breakfast, lunch and tea if I let her.

Thanks for not being too judgemental- mealtime was a success, could do with hosing her down now though!!!

Yes this is fine, DS loves them although I like the full fat, sugar and salt added beans much more Grin

Cheung, if you slosh some Worcs sauce on your plate it almost makes up the difference!

I'm sure they're probably fine as an occasional treat. I would check the ingredients though - sometimes low salt/sugar things are packed full of artificial sweeteners.

I'm all for getting them to eat what we eat and that includes baked beans in our house Xmas Smile

I used to rinse most of the sauce off when the DCs were little. They didn't mind.
