We have officially started solids! I want to make my own baby food for my baby but I am wondering what size containers to get...so I am wondering how much would be a "portion" size since we just started. I work FT and my MIL usually watched our LO when my dh and I both have to work. So any suggestions on container sizes or what had worked well for other people...
I personally would not be doing solids at 6 months old....But if you must.
Solids are for fun and learning not for nutrition. So personally I would not let others feed LO solids so no need to send them. I don't do many purees but the ones I do I do ice cube sized portions. I am more of the baby led solids type of person and wait till the baby is able to self feed. ALWAYS brestfeed first then feed the solids.
Quoting Justine41:Sorry...baby is 6 months
My son quickly went from 1 to 2 meals a day then to 3 meals, but then started refusing food. He was only eating breakfast and nursing a ton. They go through phases so just go with the flow.
Remember that baby gets the liquid lunch FIRST, all the way to the first birthday. Whatever baby wants in solids after, even if it's just the equivalent of a teaspoon. No such thing as too little solids.
This is where not using purees comes in handy... if baby doesn't want the avocado, the caregiver can eat it. **grin**
