I bought a book from Amazon and plan on using lots of those recipes [well, they actually turn into "recipes" once baby is a little older]. We're starting rice cereal on Sunday!

We got a vitamix for xmas and it is the best invention in the world! Highly recommend it. We still use it everyday to make smoothies for Keenan - throw a whole carrot in (or kale, broccoli, apples, whatever) and it emulsifies it in secs. I am a walking ad apparently :) Enjoy the baby food as it only gets better with "real" people food.lovegetssweetereverydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010411677879612295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-72919935763141758682010-10-14T13:52:52.576-05:002010-10-14T13:52:52.576-05:00Great examples of making the baby food.

Our little guy is 8 months and one idea I have for you is to try adding some more flavor to the purees. When I puree pears I add a drop or two of vanilla and some cinnamon. To sweet potatoes I load it up with paprika, to squash cinnamon and nutmeg. My little guy hated peas to, until I seasoned them with paprika. BF babes have an expanded palette due to the flavor of your milk tasting slightly different based on what you've eaten. Once his doc recommended adding meat to his diet I just started pureeing our dinner, now he enjoys meals of salmon, brown rice, and brocoli or whatever low sodium balanced meal we're eating. Anyway, I love meal time!melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979175666163728567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-10477961942627755132010-10-14T13:10:57.611-05:002010-10-14T13:10:57.611-05:00I was just telling Jeff that I needed to find a we...I was just telling Jeff that I needed to find a website for making baby food.

The few times we've given her gas drops or tylenol have been a battle. Truman was so chill about it! Like, no big thang, I'll just clamp my mouth shut. No noises, just not gonna open my mouth! <br /><br />I make Annie's food too and I honestly haven't even found it that hard! It's a great way to use up veggies from our farm share that we don't feel like eating :) Luckily Annie never liked really thin smooth purees anyway, so making green beans and carrots wasn't an issue. The very first time we fed her green beans she gagged a little, but seemed to get used to it quick.<br /><br />Oh, and pears are another good fruit with a laxative effect, similar to peaches :)<br /><br />Just one more thing - I got a little lazy after making apples once - the whole peeling step and all. So now I just buy a big jar of organic natural applesauce (made sure the only ingredient was organic apples) and just freeze that in cubes. Much easier and at $3.50 for the jar it was probably cheaper too.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-16518898229799407432010-10-13T19:58:28.872-05:002010-10-13T19:58:28.872-05:00Hailey also LOVED peaches.

I'm definitely planning to make our own baby food, but my little one is only 1 month old, so it's a ways off for us still.<br /><br />I do have a random question for you that I've been meaning to e-mail you about. I know you're using Tommee Tippee bottles (at least partially), and that's what we've chosen to use for our baby, too. She's taken to them pretty well, but she is only getting one bottle a day at this point. Anyway, we're in a wedding on Saturday and it'll be the first time she has multiple bottles in a day. How do you transport/keep cool your Tommee Tippee bottles of milk? The only "cooler" I have so far is the one that came with my Medela pump... it has an ice pack, but the way it's shaped, it's made the Medela bottles and the TTs don't fit. Just curious what you do since you transport Truman and his milk to daycare every day. Thanks! :)<br /><br />P.S. I think I spy Dr. Brown's bottles in your fridge? Do you use those as well? How nice that Truman switches from TT to Avent to DB without issue! And is there an orange band of some sort around the bottle? Is that some sort of dating system? I've been trying to figure out a way to keep things straight in the fridge, and would love to know if there is a product out there meant for that, if that's the case. (And if I'm crazy and that's nothing of the sort, just ignore me!)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838246429529148138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-16656009713026345582010-10-13T15:15:59.245-05:002010-10-13T15:15:59.245-05:00adorableness... just adorable.
