I have decided to take on a new mission. Well it's a personal mission....learning all I can about baby nutrition when it comes to starting Baby Aiden on food. Now I know I have some time before I need to actually start, but there is no time like the present to learn. So I am dedicating every Tuesday to posts about what I have learned and as time goes on what I have tried. So my goals (I have two, well three, I guess) 1.) To learn as much as I can about introducing healthy organic foods to Aiden; 2.) Try to have everything be organic or as close to as possible and lastly; 3.) Grow as much of the food as I can myself.
I am pretty excited about this mission and have already reserved some books at the library and plan to probably buy a few along the way. I want Aiden to have the best possible, but I also want him to understand that food doesn't just come from the grocery store but from the ground or from an animal. I also want him to try everything and have the biggest variety he can.
So thus far I have planted 3 things that Aiden will get to try, carrots, beets and peas. It's a start.
I am happy to hear that you are looking in to his food. My children and grandson never ate one jar of store bought baby food. It was always made at home. It's quite easy, all you need is a blender!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you planning to start him on food?
I am planning on starting him somewhere between 4-6 months. He is about to be 2 months old next week so I have a little while, but I dont get to read as much or do the research I used to do before him. I am very excited to ba able to grow what he eats, someday he will appreciate it!! :)
ReplyDeleteMaking your own organic baby food is easy. I always just pureed the veggies that we ate. Do they still have you start out with rice cereal? Also, when they get a bit older I dehydrated lots of fruit and veggies. Strawberries were always the kids favorites.
ReplyDeletePlease don't make me feed him beets! :)
