Thread: Homemade Baby Food

Oh jeez. Baby yogurt is just yogurt with loads of sugar. Well, it's probably got less sugar than some brands of yogurt but its got tons more than the brands we buy. I find that disturbing. Teagan gets what we buy. It's Straus European Style organic whole milk yogurt. She likes cinnamon and pomegranate/blueberry. I tried giving her plain yogurt but she wouldn't eat it. I won't eat it either so I don't blame her.

we buy plain organic whole milk yogurt. he loves it and i tried it and don't mind it. the cinnamon one sounds good! i will have to look and see if my grocery store has flavours

If they don't just add whatever you want to the plain

Yaaaaaaaa!! Sophie tried steamed broccoli last night and toast at lunch time today! I'd say we had winners for both She did great; no gagging or joking!! Made my night and day

That's great! DS isn't so fond of broccoli, but I keep giving it to him. lol.

DS finally decided he loves the organic puffs I bought back in April. I'm going to buy a bunch when we're home later this month since I can't buy them here. He also loves Cheerios, but I'm not so fond of giving him that with the sugar and salt.

DF asked me yesterday if we could do little puffs or Cheerios and I said I was too nervous for that still. Lol!!

Ohhh and I think now that the broccoli really did a number on Sophie she is non-stop farting today!! LOL

i gave Lucas a broken off piece of a puff, so really tiny and he gagged. i don't think he is ready for them yet haha

Aiden can only do bigger pieces. He just this past week was able to get something smaller like a puff into his mouth. Right now I'm trying to get him to learn to not shove 10 of them in there at once.
Gagging isn't necessarily bad though. Aiden gagged once on a cheerio and after that, he's a lot more cautious before swallowing! It's a unique learning process. And I definitely understand why some aren't ready for it yet.

I think Ronin will get milk arrowroot biscuits soon, once he finishes off the packet of rusks we have. They are almost a staple of a baby's childhood here, tastier than teething rusks and one a day isn't so bad. I'm also going to start on vegemite sandwhiches for him, again a staple of childhood here.

I tried something new tonight, an apple jelly. To me it didn't have much flavour (might be I used apple juice instead of apple concentrate, but I couldn't find any concentrate) but Ronin loved it. I'm thinking of trying a yoghurt jelly next week. I'm loving trying out some of the recipes from my babyfood cook books.
