Monday Message - Feeding Baby

My 5 month old is getting ready to start her first real foods.  Even though this will only consist of homemade organic brown rice cereal in a liquid form....I am not sure if I am ready!

The choices we make in feeding our baby can have a lifetime impact on the child’s health and weight. The goal is nutrition, not a diet.  View the full Kids Eat Right Article here.

During the first two years, children move from exclusive breast or bottle feeding to eating table foods with the rest of the family. There are two important parts of this process:
  • What specific foods and textures to introduce at each age
  • How best to feed babies so they develop a healthy relationship with food.
