Problems with Solid Food

Hi! I started feeding my almost 7 month old son solids when he was almost 6 months old. I waited until the signs were there; sitting up, good head and neck control, interested in what we're eating, making chewing motions with his mouth. I started him on rice cereal mixed with breastmilk, and he did great at first. He even opened wide and seemed to like it. Over the last 2 weeks, he's become less interested in the food and more interested in playing with the spoon and the bowl. For the last few days, he's been pursing his lips and...

Allergic to Dairy

My one year old is allergic to dairy. This was easy when he was on formula and baby food because I didn't really worry about. Now I am feeding him Rice Milk but I am having a hard time with snacks and table food. Most of what I make for my family has milk or cheese or some other dairy product in it. He will not eat any fruit. So that is out as far as snacks go. Also, the doctor said to go with the rice milk but why not soy? Does soy milk contain dairy or what is the issue with that? I know I should have spoke with the doctor...

8-Month-old Only Eats Baby Food from a Jar

Help! I really want to be able to start feeding my 8-month-old son homemade food, but he won't eat anything I make. I admit, I never should've started him out on jarred foods in the first place because now it's what he's used to. I thought I could switch him over to fresh, homemade foods once he got more accustomed to eating solids. I've tried pureed baked yams mixed with breastmilk, his two favorite things, and he won't even eat that. I've also tried peaches, avocadoes, tofu, green beans, and peas and he gags and spits them out no...

Anyone with Experience Using a FOOD MILL for Making Stage 1 Baby Food??

Has anyone had success in making stage 1 consistency baby food with a food mill? If so, what brand/model food mill did you use? How did you prepare the food prior to putting through the mill? So far, I have had no success in making strained baby food and I would like to because of the nutritional benefits and to save $$. I have heard of the Kidko brand food mill, but it seems so cheap that I can't believe it really works. I recently purchased a nice stainless steel food mill that cost around $30.00 from bed bath & beyond. I...
