Question regarding homemade baby food?

LOL! Sorry, but I am so glad someone else had this problem! My son did the same thing and when I tell people, I think they think I am crazy. My son will not eat ANY homemade veggies (and I have tried every kind and watering them down) He only wants the jarred baby food veggies.

However, I have gotten him to eat all kinds of homemade fruits. He will eat pureed apples, peaches, mangoes, mashed banana. He even really likes it if I put a touch of cinnamon in the apples or add a few blueberries to the food processor with the apples or peaches.

He still won't eat homemade pureed meat OR jarred meat but we just recently have given him bits of our chicken at the dinner table and he gums it just fine. So, I think we will just skip pureed meat (fine with me-kinda gross anyway!)

Good Luck! I guess our babies are just little weirdos!

Hm, perhaps over cooking? Cook them just enough to make them so you would eat them and then try pureeing them. Also, instead of plain water, use the liquid you cooked them in. That way the liquid is adding flavor back into the veggies. My girls had time when they would just reject certain things. And then 2 weeks later.. they loved it.

As for the chicken, etc... don't even go there. Your baby can remain a vegetarian until she can start eating it without it being pureed, mashed, etc. My girls didn't eat meat until they were over a year old. And there is really no need to add it into their diet before then.

Good luck and keep up the good work!! It can be a pain, but it's so worth it!! My girls never ate jarred food and I'm very proud of that.

as quickly as I first started utilising this methodology, i could use one cube yet I immediately discovered that this became no longer adequate, she became constantly hungry for greater. My daughter is 9 months old and that i now use 3-4 cubes at each feeding. I say 3-4 because of the fact it relies upon on the ice cube tray. I easily have 2 that i take advantage of for her nutrition and one makes advantageous huge sq. cubes, jointly as the different makes smaller, rounder ones. So, for sure, in the event that they're the huge cubes i take advantage of three, and in the event that they're the smaller ones i take advantage of four. I additionally combination a tablespoon or 2 of rice cereal in with each feeding. that's only one thing that I do because of the fact i'm breastfeeding her and the cereal promises her with some iron. She in many situations finishes all of it yet while for some reason she would not, I basically conceal the bowl with plastic wrap and feed it to her some hours later.

Try making the veggies she usually doesn't like, and pouring it into the jar. She might just like to look at the jar?

Skip the pureeing and let her try it in it's natural form.

As a good homemaker and mother, you don't have time to make your own baby food. Jarred food was invented to make life easier for us mother's. The only person you should be preparing food for is your husband.
