Cheap and easy. I used a book called the healthy baby meal planner. I also used Earths Best (organic) baby food because it has a better variety of food than Gerber. <BR/><BR/>I also tried to stay away from Juice until she was a little older. I wanted her to get used to drinking milk and water when she was thirsty and not crave the sugars from juice (even 100% juice). I now will give her vegetable and fruit juice combined for breakfast (none after).<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a great book, let me know what you think!Bryndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01549868998460687310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161892598652156652.post-36909682188587512142009-01-15T11:51:00.000-06:002009-01-15T11:51:00.000-06:00I think you need to get your sister in law to join...I think you need to get your sister in law to join our blog!! I am going to look into that book that sounds great!! <BR/><BR/>I tried pureeing my own baby foods for a while, truth is at least out here it was more expensive for me. It is amazing how a really big amount of a vegetable turned into a really small amount of a puree....It got frustrating, and then I found it pricey to buy the containers to store them...their shelf lives were not as long and it was hard to have them mobile because they are not sealed so they have to be kept cold.<BR/><BR/> All in all I found I would rather buy the gerber stuff. THey do make an organic line. <BR/><BR/>Also Eli's pediatrician told me it was really important to feed them single foods meaning just peaches or just carrots or just ham and not the combo foods(the dinners and desserts) because if you look they will have added salts or sugars to them. I also started with veggies first because I knew Eli would like fruits no questions asked so I got him used to veggies first. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with what ever you decide!! I just wanted to share my experience.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977150891772734550noreply@blogger.com
