My boys are 5 1/2 months...they will be 6 months on the 9th. I am really enjoying how much they like to eat now that I have introducded solids. I decided to make my own baby food. I really like being able to offer a much bigger variety of fruits and veggies than what is offered in jars. I am doing the 4 day rule...a new food eaten for 4 days to make sure there is no reaction.
So far they have tried and enjoyed a number of things.
Peas,apples,pears,yams,zucchini, bananas, butternut squash and carrots(on day 3). Still in the freezer I have green beans and avocados to try.
I also just bought the teething biscuits which we will try after the 4th day of carrots. I am hoping they love these because I would like to be able to put them in their highchairs say when I am in the kitchen cooking dinner, baking, doing dishes or whatever and have them occupied.
We have tried the mesh feeders. It went ok. I put apples in them. The boys seemed to have gotten frustrated because no food was coming out, only juice. I put the apple in there raw. Next time I will try to steam them first to soften them up.
I am so excited about their diet increasing and them being able to try more and more things. We did try sippy cups for the first time the other day too. I give them the cups after they are done with solids while I get things cleaned up and bottles made. I figure if for the next few months if they are only getting them for a few minutes at a time a few times a day it will at least start putting the idea into their heads and maybe getting off the bottles at a year will go smoothly. Ok, rambled enough about eating LOL Dianna
