Food Diaries

At about 3.5 months I started the boys on cereal... They were drinking almost 38 - 40++ oz of formula daily and getting up at least once at night for more formula. I asked my mom when did she start me and my brothers on solids and she said around this time. And I feel that all these food allergies we have no a days is from not starting solids soon enough... I mean I won't give them peanuts or honey till at least 1 yrs old but fruits and veggies...give me a break. At their 4 month appt I asked the doctor if I could start cereal and he gave the "OK"...so I started 2 weeks early...oops.

Then about 2 weeks after starting them on cereal I decided I would try some veggies with them...THEY LOVED IT!!! We started with green beans first, then sweet potato, and then finally butternut squash. Then we started the fruits...banana, pears, and applesauce. I've made all of the veggie purees myself but not the fruits. I know how to cook vegetables, but how do you know you didn't overcook fruit??? And it goes bad very quickly, especially banana...so it's just easier to buy the fruit from Gerber. We've also tried carrot, not a fan yet.


Here are some photo's from their eating....
