How to Feed a baby

How to Feed a Baby.

Step 1:  Cook a suitable food for baby to try

Step 2:  Put food into blender/food processor and puree until smooth.

Add water as needed to get the right consistency based on your baby's age.

Step 3:  Portion any leftovers (and there will be plenty) into small freezable containers for future use.

Step 4:  Feed Baby his first food!

Yes, that's right, Maverick tried his first food today.  He's just shy of 6 months old so we thought we'd let him start sampling some foods.  Although he's smiling in the above picture, I wouldn't call the sweet potatoes a hit.  He probably actually ate about 2 or 3 baby spoonfuls if that.  He lost interest quickly and was ready to get out and play.  We're not really giving him food now to "feed" him since the breastmilk more than takes care of that.  He's at the age where he's ready to try something new and we are letting him.  We'll keep him on the sweet potatoes and then let him try something else in a few days.  Maybe banana?
