Agree. It’s a good article that I can apply this for my routine. I loved it, so usefully. Thanks

Do you have Mother Hen organics there? Here it’s called Mere Poule, and it’s fresh frozen baby food. For veggies it’s a rip off, but I always used their meats (chicken, beef, veal, lamb, etc.).

I can’t even deal with the pureed meat in a jar. Since Wombat only needs 2-3 oz. of protein a day (i.e., in one meal), I either leave that job to Simon or give the kid tofu or cheese or cottage cheese…pretty much anything but pureed meat in a jar. That stuff smells almost as bad going in as it does coming out.

JONKR: You hAZ a Flavor!! (I tried to suppress that but couldn’t.)

@ Bunnyslipers When I was a new mom I bought a book called Super Baby Food. It’s written by Ruth Yaron, an obsessive compulsive woman who has lots of (sometimes good) ideas. If you crave step by step instructions, see if someone will give you a used copy. (I already got rid of mine.) You should know that she is anti-meat.

Mostly what I gathered from rearing two kids is that anything is baby food if it’s unseasoned and mushed up enough. Aim for fruits, veges, whole grains and lean meats.

A question to the Jonniker Quorum:
Where do you get your baby food recipes? My endeavours have been very limited so far.

The thought of grinding up meat of any persuasion is so disgusting to me…I couldn’t do it for my son ever. So he was a vegetarian until he could reasonable chew or swallow small pieces. Oh my god…to think of it in your freezer in ice cube trays; I am having a hard time with this! You’re a stronger woman than I am.

Oh–I second just giving Sam pieces (small, soft) of meat and you can avoid a)buying processed baby food and b)doing anything particularly gross like grinding meat (SHUDDER).

Hank is 8 months, and today he ate a banana. Like, bit off a piece, chewed it sufficiently, swallowed. He is so much more interested in “finger food” (we’ve only done bananas and avocados and a few other soft things) than purees. He only has his two bottom teeth, and they don’t really come into the picture anyway.

We still give him purees of things that are less easy to give pieces of–apple, etc. And anything he particularly likes. But he’ll refuse pea puree and then eat the sh*t out of the very peas (whole, soft) that I give him.

Now I am super curious as to whether I too would be grossed out grinding my own chicken. I really don’t know. But frozen ice cube trays of chicken sounds nassssss-tee.

Just cook chicken and cut it up in pea-sized bites. Make sure it is moist, do a crock pot or something if you like. You don’t need molars to mush it around your mouth and swallow. Egg loves it and NO GRINDING.

Ugh, I can’t even handle raw chicken breasts, let alone grinding up my own meat. SHUDDER!
