- Steam in the bag veggies
- Applesauce
- Yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Ripe bananas
- Tiny pieces of bread
- Baked or mashed potatoes (or sweet potatoes)
- Avocados
- When the baby gets a few teeth: sliced cheese, small veggies like peas, tortillas, cheerios, noodles, eggs, small pieces of basically whatever you're eating
See? Save yourself some money and hassle. I bought one box of rice cereal, and I've bought I think two small containers of baby food for travel. There's so much false hysteria in the baby industry - that doesn't mean you have to buy into it.
OMG I love you. :)
ReplyDeleteDisclaimer: I don't have kids. I have godsons (who are now grown) and plenty of honorary nieces and nephews. So my point of view is based on that of a child-free person who loves kids and babies. (Seriously, I'm the first person to ask if I can hold the baby at a get together!)
But what is it with parents who need all this fancy stuff to feed a baby. Boil some damn carrots and mush them up with a fork. Cook some oatmeal until it's mushy. Smush up a banana. I mean I get that sometimes convenience helps but how convenient is it to buy a special blender to blend baby food, and then have to take it apart and wash it every time you use it? What's wrong with a little boiling water, a fork, and a tupperware container in the fridge?
