Good Eats for purées

When I was researching what I was going to do food-wise with my baby, I decided I wanted to make my own purées when he turned 4 months. Our pediatrician recommended waiting until 5 months and test him first with cereal. I know I know…there’s a huge stigma against cereal but oh well. We got organic oatmeal cereal for our baby and he eats it every day at 12 pm. After about three days of him having it for dinner we decided we would start him on vegetables. I read that green is best to start with so he has tried peas only for a week. He was gagging and shuddering in disgust at first, which we found hilarious, but then by the third day he was really enjoying them. I’m really happy he is eating so well and I hope it continues on with the next foods we introduce.
