At Hudson's 4 month appointment his pediatrician told me we could start on solids. Although at the time I didn't feel like he was quite ready yet. Well in 2 weeks he was eating 32-35oz of formula a day and I knew it was time to start with some real food. We started with rice cereal. He refused. I tried to mix it with breastmilk and formula and he wouldn't have it. Thankfully my pediatrician said he could have the rice mixed with half apple juice/half water. He seemed to like it alot better. However he started spitting up ALL the time and he never spit up before. Going on my mommy instinct I decided to stop the rice and start veggies. I started him on sweet potatoes and he HATED them with a passion.
After a few tries with the sweet potatoes I knew we might have a problem cause he would not eat them at all. So I made the decision that from then on I would make all of his food homemade. Bryan and I went to William Sonoma and bought the Beaba Babycook! I'M OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH IT!!!! You definitely know your a mom when you get REALLY excited about your new baby food maker! :) The first foods a baby should eat are grains (rice, oatmeal, barley), sweet potatoes, acorn or butternut squash, avocado, apples, or bananas. Our first attempt would be sweet potatoes.
HE LOVES THEM!!!!!
So yesterday I spent the afternoon making baby food!!! We started on our second food this morning...Acorn Squash! He loves those too! And they are pretty delicious I must say!
Within a couple of days we are going to try some oatmeal and see if that sits better with his stomach than the rice did.
Needless to say I'm one excited mommy about my new toy! :)
This is the precious face I got to look down at while I wrote this! Oh how I love my little man!!!!
