Rich in vitamin A and long advocated as a weaning food, I've always thought that lamb's liver would be a home run if I could ever remember to get it from the butcher. My mother, however, likes nothing more than liver and onions, so it was she who tried it out on Babybear first. Apparently it was a score draw. She chewed it a bit and then put it down. However, she bravely put it back into her mouth no less than eight times during the course of the meal, so she evidently wanted to like it.
Now, apropos of nothing I would just like to irrelevantly state that my daughter can now say the word 'bubbles' as clear as day and it's simply the cutest thing I've ever heard.

Re: Liver
The Dutch site thinks it's better to wait with liver until they are 2 or 3 years old (or even older). The idea is that the liver is a detoxifying organ, which means that some of the toxins (such as heavy metals and PCBs) get stuck in the liver. This same detoxifying process does not work well yet in babies, so when they eat liver they might get some toxins they are not yet equipped to handle.
I'm not sure I would wait that long with giving them liver myself (the husband does a very nice chicken liver "risotto"), but it might be good to be careful not to overdo it. And apropopos 'bubbles': aaaaawwww .... Re: Re: Liver
aaah, isn't that interesting... i wonder if that's why she kept putting it down, then? although i've definitely read baby books that advocate chicken livers for babies, so are chicken livers different?
anyway, that's the good thing about BLW i think, she just put it down and no-one spooned it in for her regardless. Re: Re: Liver

Piglet's had calf's liver once and loved it. I mean really loved it - sat there chomping enthusiastically, swinging her fat little legs and 'mmm'-ing with obvious appreciation. I don't think I'll give it to her often - it's on my mental list with things like tuna - but as an odd treat I'll take the risk.
