Give peas a chance…

Starting your baby on solids can be as exciting as it is messy. There are no words to describe the movement that an infant’s mouth will make when they are fed a solid food for the first time! We experienced this personally a few weeks ago with our son. Luckily for us, he LOVED it! He took the rice cereal, then the peas and no the carrots. The kid cant get enough…neither can his bib, hands, pants and high chair! But who really cares how big the mess is, the most important thing is that he enjoys his meal and I enjoy what he is getting nutritionally. I did some research on organic baby foods- have tried Earths Best and here is what I think…

Even though its organic, doesn’t mean it’s pure. After all, those grocery store brands, even organic ones, have to ensure the food has a shelf life of 2 YEARS!!! So they are process them with extended high-heat exposure, which can destroy vital nutrients and deplete the food of its natural taste and vibrant color. I am going to try making the food myself…if that is too hard (which I cant imagine pureeing some cooked veggies and raw fruits can be that hard), I found a cool site that makes fresh baby food that you can freeze or serve within a few days.
