The Hendricks Handbook: Big Boy Food

The Magic Baby Bullet. Highly Recommend This.

Like I stated in my 6 month post, I started Shaw on pureed foods about 3 weeks sooner than I had intended to. Ya know, I was going to go directly by the books. Exclusively breast feed until 6 months on the dot then start solids. Well, the poor boy watched our every move at the dinner table, reached for our utensils, and stared at our mouth as we were chewing. It was sad to say the least. So after talking to several mommies, I took a leap of faith and started him early. Good thing because that boy knew exactly what to do and has loved food since we started. Before I got pregnant, and I had made the decision that the best thing for our family (and for my sanity) was to make all my baby food. My OCD self needed to know exactly what my baby was going to be eating. So far, I have LOVED it and so has he! To make it even bettter, my mother-in-law surprised me with the Baby Bullet and it has been awesome!! So easy and convenient! We started out with just avocado puree, avocado mixed with milk. We did that for about two weeks and then I introduced sweet potato puree! Today was our first day to start foods two times a day. So far, so good! We have no tried avocado, sweet potato, banana, and green peas. He has loved all of them! Hopefully, we will have a diverse eater and we pray we run into no allergies.

First time for avocado...not so sure about it!
