Hey there

My son turned 4 months today and i'm starting him on soilds.
He's on Avacado and next week is Banana's.

I'm going to try and stay away fro jared baby food and cereal as his main source of food.

Yesterday was my first go at it and it went pretty good.

How much milk is Tyler drinking now? 

Name: zoey9810 | Date: Sep 24th, 2007 9:08 PM
well we have a veggie steamer/ rice cooker thingy, and ive never used it so i guess thats what im going to use, and then im going to get one of those mini food processor things that are really cheap, like 20 bucks and thats what im going to use, along with some cube trays

I'm looking up the book online now 

Name: zoey9810 | Date: Sep 24th, 2007 9:17 PM
the first veggie in this book is carrots 

Name: Opheiliamath | Date: Sep 24th, 2007 9:24 PM
How much did you pay for the book?

Carrots should wait Lauren. I didn't give them until 8 months. They can be high in nitrates... even in the jars of food. It can cause blue baby syndrome... In the baby food class I took they said to wait until at least 8 months, although they should be ok after 6. 

Name: zoey9810 | Date: Sep 24th, 2007 9:51 PM
ok ill wait

umm i think like 10 15 bucks

what is blue baby syndrome?

lauren i have the same book and it has good recipe ideas but it is not in order of when they should be given by age. your pediatrican should help with when you should introduce certain foods. the link opheilia posted has the months for them.
