From Homemade to Everyday

You may remember an earlier blog of mine that covers how to make homemade baby food. Well, I’m glad to say that we have moved on from homemade baby food to our little munchkin eating everyday food along with the rest of the family!

Our little princess is the best little eater we could ask for. She is willing to try anything and everything we put in front of her, and squeals for more.

This is a stark contrast to our first born who was, and continues to be, a very picky eater. He is thrown off by textures, and does not favor change. That could be partly our fault as we were young first time parents, and had zero clue as to what we were doing. Now that we know that babies are pretty resilient, my husband and I made a pact to give this baby anything and everything she could handle.  So far, it has worked!

She loves peas and carrots, and is a fan of protein. We are staying within the confines set forth by all the parenting books and our pediatrician. So that means no whole milk, juices, or peanut products just yet, but everything else is fair game.

I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have all of us eating the same dinner so that I am preparing only one meal instead of several. 

However, she does eat dinner rather early, so in my next blog, I will cover how to make meal plans and freeze crock pot dinners for the whole week in just 45 minutes!

We're your kids different from each other on their food preferences?
