All New Parents are stupid. But if they stay away from sites like yours they will be okay.
I was making baby food for my kids....50 years ago....And my mother was doing it 20 years before that.
It was 40 years ago for me, and I am the dad, it is the only way to go.
JoeSeales, I can’t say whether this is good or bad (I have no opinion about homemade babyhood) but think you are in for a warm reception with this thread.
Generally, threads like this aren’t welcome.
I hope I am wrong.
Okay, auto spell-check is an irritant...”babyfood”, not “babyhood”.
ROTFLMAO
In other news I and the wife had two kids 25 years ago. Try as we like and we like and we try hard we just haven't had any more.
Sometimes I think they actually program them that way!
Goo! Goo! Goo goo goo!
Practice makes perfect, and if it doesn’t...practice has a quality all of its own!
And just what made you think this was an appropriate subject for a conservative political discussion forum?
Did you just want to post something? Anything? Just so you could post it or are you blogpimping?
My oldest two had neither formula nor jarred baby food. Number three is now following that pattern. I’m certainly not a new parent. Why is making baby food poor advice? My preschooler and toddler ask for avavados, salmon, and cashews thanks to the way I’ve fed them from purees.
Part of it is the age of your average FReeper.
Make healthy food for yourself, then puree it for the tykes. It's that simple, minus heavy spices.
Enjoy! Feeding lil,ones is fun. But the baby food stage is very short. Soon your tot will be on finger fooding what you guys eat. And definitely start him young with his own spoon and or fork - they learn fast. Even while you spoon feed him, give him his own. By 8 months our baby was fork expert - but she is pretty athletic and coordinated. She talked late but could catch a ball, run and walk backward even by 15 mos. have fun feeding your baby.
That site appears to be a part advice, part sales site. Not particularly awful, not particularly wonderful, just there.
Babies did have to eat something before the likes of Gerber appeared. For that matter, nursing also used to be considered an honor, not an inconvenience. But that’s also when people thought further ahead than just next week.
Since WHEN is FR limited to discussing politics?
Put baby food dabs on waxed paper on cookie sheet. Freeze then put them in a plastic bag in freezer and take out exactly what is needed for each meal.
Aw, the little boy won’t have any spunk if you don’t wean him on jalapenos!
