Why do you make your own baby food?
I've decided to make my own baby food because I want to provide Raja with the freshest foods possible.
If you would like to start this also, please remember before beginning a solid food regimen, keep in mind that breast milk or formula should remain the primary nutrition source for the first year. In the beginning, solids are more about exploration than subsistence. Babies are introduced to new tastes and exciting textures all while honing tactile and social skills associated with mealtime.
I believe it's important to pay close attention to your baby’s cues before beginning a solid regimen, after he is at least four months old. Research shows that introducing solids any earlier could lead to food allergies, obesity and diabetes.
Your baby might be ready for solids if he/she
Sits up alone, without assistance
Consistently seems hungry after a full feeding
Shows interest in or grabs at your food
Can refuse food by turning head
Has outgrown reflex to spit out solid food
I recommend introducing one food at a time, I usually wait at least one week (7 days) before introducing another food. Watch closely for adverse reactions such as excessive gas, diarrhea, vomiting or a rash. If there is a reaction, discontinue food and wait at least 2 more weeks before reintroducing the food.
ALWAYS consult your pediatrician prior to beginning any new food for your infant. Discuss making homemade baby food with your pediatrician.
