Alright, so when Angelica started eating solid foods, I was so overwhelmed. I didn't know what to give her when, what foods I shouldn't give her and how to exactly make this transition into the eating world. She still breastfeeds a lot so that helps, but she is also loving anything we put in front of her to eat. We started with the cereals and then the bananas and she loved it all. She usually will have her mashed fruits with cereal in the mornings, and has also now been given the plain cheerios to crunch on. She will eat a good dinner with whatever crazy mix mom puts together...usually something like chicken with squash and peas and yogurt. Yummy!! She is eating more bites from our plates, but don't want her to have a lot of the spices and seasonings and extras quite yet. So I make most of her food....I learned a lot on this website, and didn't want to buy a lot of the jarred stuff out there. So I usually spend a good day, like today, making up all her good foods. I steam, bake or boil them and then puree in a blender and freeze. I either use ice cube trays or plop them on wax paper. After frozen, put in ziploc and we are good to go. It is so nice to be able to grab a mixture of fresh fruits and veggies ready to go for her whenever she needs a meal. And it saves money too!! Today, we made chicken, peas, green beans, acorn squash, butternut squash, carrots, mango, pears and sweet potatoes. Would love to hear all the baby food ideas you have and how you make the transition with your little ones to the "real food". I still feel clueless sometimes!!! Does anyone know when you can give your baby eggs? I have read conflicting things...
