So I'll admit, Lincoln doesn't eat as many solids as he should. He's tried the basics, but I don't have a "system" down yet. We're working on it, slowly building up our "super baby food," but I still have a few weeks before I feel completely confident in this pureed meal game.
On Thanksgiving, Tyce's mom mashed some sweet potatoes for Lincoln, and he was so happy I felt like I needed to stand up and solemnly swear to give my baby more solids and not deprive his poor, solids-starved little soul any longer (so help me God). Seriously though, I did feel like Lincoln threw a few looks my way that said, "rude, mom!"
P.S. Did I mention Lincoln sat in the highchair (metal tray and all) that Tyce sat in when he was little? Oh yes, it happened, and frankly I'm impressed by all of the babies who survived those things! Talk about survival of the fittest - any baby weighing less than 20 lbs could slip right out and onto the floor!
Sweet potatoes are bomb! He'll probably always remember that first bite :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Have you tried those applesauces that are in squeeze packets? They're awesome!
ReplyDeleteHe loves it!!! Give him more mom! Gosh!!! haha, Solids are so fun, but nerve wracking too! They do love them though! Just take it slow, one food per week and before you know it you will be there! Just keep a close eye on him and keep good track of how each food affects him and it will cause way less stress later! Also, on the squeeze packet thing--I am a HUGE fan! Plum organics and Happy Baby and the other kind I can't remember the name of that they have at Target are AWESOME! I loooove love love them and Jackson still eats them multiple times a day, it's such an easy way for him to get those fruits and veggies in!
ReplyDeletewhoa!! never had solids?!!?! pure nursing!! i envy you!
ReplyDeleteOK Scarlett, you've made your pledge to give Lincoln more solids....you go!
ReplyDeleteMom
oh my gosh, i love his thanksgiving bib! too cute.
ReplyDeletemy mom always says that sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest foods to feed babies!
Eli didn't eat solids til 10 months regularly....he wasn't into it. Trust me, they let you know when they're ready! I loved making my own foods. Butternut squash was another good one. And Annie is right about the squeezables...I only used those on the go though. I could send you some great recipes if you want! I made my food and stayed away from jarred for the most part:)yay for him getting bigger!
