When I was a kid my dad always used to make me cream of wheat – so it seemed like a natural choice when I was looking for things that I could eat along with Cameron. I’ve been making the Cream of Wheat with a little water and a little milk, as well as bananas, which add a natural sweetness. I add the bananas while the Cream of Wheat is still cooking – so it sort of dissolves right in there. Cameron loves it! Soon I’ll be giving it a try with some other fruits as well. Yum (for mommy and baby!)
Yum Yum Mum Mum
I first heard about baby Mum Mum from a mommy friend, Celia. I recently bought some at Elly’s Market on Dekalb (for the locals). Cameron LOVES them! And I love watching him eat them because he can easily hold them and feed himself. Here is a link to Amazon which also has the mum mums. I promise your baby will think they are yum yum!
This is the one I have
There are plenty of baby food making products out there, but I decided to go with something practical that I could use for years to come – not just for baby food. This is the Oxo good grips food mill. It’s nice for making the baby food because you don’t have to peel anything – they just don’t pass through. And the food ends up with a little texture which I think is good for baby to get used to. Plus, it makes great mashed potatoes for mom and dad!
I know, it sounds like a weird combination – but avocado and banana has been a big hit. I’ve also heard from other moms that avocado and apple is a good one too.
Cameron loves food... and spoons
Feeding solid foods has presented a whole new challenge – variety! Before the only choice to be made was breast milk, or formula? Now there’s a whole world of possibilities, and I find myself getting stuck in a rut a lot. One topic I always try and bring up at mommy group is “what are you feeding your baby now?” So, I thought I would try and do some posts about what Cameron is eating to give some ideas to the moms out there. Granted most of what I make isn’t groundbreaking, but sometimes all a mommy needs is a little inspiration!
So, today Cameron was eating Ricotta Cheese and some yellow summer squash (which had been steamed and pureed). Today was his first time having Ricotta. Apparently, it’s totally awesome!
