@Julia, that’s the goal. I will definitely have to write about my “reality” as compared with my goals though.

Babies shouldn’t be overly limited in the types of foods they eat. You may find they like variety, and feeding them different foods at an early age may help them to be less picky eaters later on. Also, fantastic tip on coating slippery foods with something like baby cereal.

@RookieMom Heather…just saw your comment! Ada actually started it herself grabbing some acorn squash skin off of my plate (a lady who knows what she wants = love).

She’s now 6.5 mos and we’ve moved onto steamed broccoli, carrots, sweet potato, avocado, brown rice, cantaloupe, even brussel sprouts!

Of course our pediatrician freaked out on us the other day, but we’re following our instincts.

@Alissa, I’ve seen her with those cobs and I love it. Felicity (above) has a link to the stuff her baby will eat and you will love that too.

@Jen, thank you so much!

I just remembered something else Emily loves that falls into the BLW category — corn on the cob! So great for teething too.

@Sara, too funny! I made black bean pancakes from weelicious omitting the cilantro which I HATE and they were horrible and bland. I will try the other ones and stop cutting out the spices.

@Meaghan, I had heard that about eggs with my older sons, but this time around the pediatrician was much more open. All that being said, he does not let scrambled or hard-boiled eggs pass his lips. They only go from the tray to the hand to the floor!

Funny, I’ve been doing a variation of this and didn’t realize it has a name. Just today I was considering ditching the baby food just because DS much prefers our food over the mush. He likes the sweet purees and that’s about it. Anyway, I love the tip about coating bananas and avocados in crispy food, thanks! As a side note, one of your suggestions was to offer eggs. Just this week my ped told me egg whites were not safe until 1yr. Apparently there is a potenial allergen in the egg white protein (albumin). Again, great article, love you guys!!!

@Lisa, Great tip about leaving on the skins. My son WILL slurp the heck out of a lemon and leaves the skin behind. (I remove the seeds)
