We have tried to do jarred baby food with Charley when he was young. That is expensive.
I even started to make my own baby food. Making my own baby food was time consuming because I only had time during the weekend to do it. I have enough to do on the weekend!!
A friend told me about baby-led weaning. At first, it sounded crazy. How can you just We did it a little with Izyk but I got panicky because he would choke sometimes...or at least I thought he was. He would gag but not actually choke. Myles was purely baby led weaned. Now that the first three are older, I can see the difference in eating habits. My oldest is the pickiest out of all of my kids. Izyk is not as picky as Charley and he has spurts of fantastic eating. Myles will eat whatever I put in front of him. He eats a wide range of foods and he is such a good eater. He's messy as all get-out but a great eater. Calon is a fantastic eater too. I absolutely love it. Both of them go for the vegetables first before they eat anything else.
Now, this kind of amazes me. Only because I always hear about how difficult it is to feed children, in general let alone getting them to eat vegetables. I only have the experience of my kids. I can see the differences in how and what they eat. I keep being told that their tastebuds will change and they won't eat the same way. I suppose we will see. For now, I shall load them up on all the good stuff!
I have a rule that if they are still hungry or are in need of a snack, they are allowed to eat any vegetables we have available. I honestly didn't think they would take to this. I'm at the point of hiding all my salad fixings and vegetables slated for dinner.
Crazy kids.
