I have been making Lila's baby food since she started solids at about 5 1/2 months. She has had a few jars, when we are traveling, or for the few items that it is more financially reasonable to buy rather than make, but for the most part, Lila has had homemade food. I love making it, it makes financial sense, and it is great knowing exactly what she is eating...organic fresh or frozen fruits and veggies, organic rice cereal and oatmeal, breastmilk and formula. Doesn't get much simpler than that! Lila truly loves the bright colors of her food, and hasn't rejected anything yet. Joe and I have started a tradition of a stay at home "date night" making baby food over a bottle of wine. We tend to make about three weeks worth at a time, since that is how many containers we have. Since there are no preservatives, we have to just thaw out what we need the night before. It has worked for us so far, and hoping to keep it up until Lila is eating food with us!
Happy eating!
