From the very beginning I had every intention to make my own baby food. I had my really cool Ninja blender and I was only going to make 100% organic purees for my little. Well the closer we got to the 4-6 month where solids are generally started, the less I wanted to go with purees. I did try purees a hand full of times and he just had no interest. He wanted to play with he spoon, not eat from it. That just reassured me that baby led weaning was the way to go.
I started doing more research, wanting to make sure I did it all the 'right' way. So far the little porker had had squash, green beans, avocado, broccoli, honey dew, cantelope, and bananas. Next on the list is zuchinni! I did, and still do, get nervous that he could choke on something but he seems to be doing well do far. My husband and I are both CPR certified which eases my anxiety, but still, no parent ever want to have to do CPR on their child. I've been extra careful with the foods he gets, I steam what I can and just keep a close watch on him while he eats. I'm probably overly cautious, but better safe than sorry.
Once Brantley gets a little better with the chewing and swallowing in introduce things like scrambled eggs and types of melon that are still a bit hard for him now.
