We are giving him one new food a week and new food day is Thursday. I wanted to do new foods when Jeff is home in case he has a reaction (I know, paranoid mom). Today was day 3 of pears and he has eaten less each day. This is fine by me actually because solids are such a pain to deal with! Because he is breast fed and doesn't need solids until he is one year old, we're not really pushing them. We're feeding him but we don't force it and it doesn't matter if he has 2 bites or 20. When he's done, he's done.
I am also making my own baby food. I am actually enjoying it! I'm not much of a cook, but steaming veggies and then throwing them in the food processor doesn't take much skill luckily =)
I am steaming and pureeing and then filling ice cube trays. Once the cubes are frozen they go into labeled ziploc baggies. He's eating one ounce of food right now (1 cube) but as his appetite grows I can give as many cubes as he'll eat. I initially went with some food containers I bought at BRU (Babies R Us) which you see here, but they don't work as well. Here is my first batch!
