Baby Food Grinder

I don’t want to be the too busy mom who warms up mac and cheese or spaghetti O’s for her little one. I want him to have healthy meals to set him up to make healthy decisions later on. I’m just running out of ideas for him. He won’t be one until September, but he already is through with me spoon feeding him. Also, I’m so used to watching how much he eats by reading the ounces posted on the side of the baby food jar. How do you know how much food to give a pre-toddler?

It’s my second son’s first birthday soon and I need some ideas for food and games. At my eldest son’s first birthday I was heavily pregnant so we didn’t do to much, so now I dont know what to do. The age range between the children coming is 7 months to 5 years, I have games like pass the parcel and pin the tail on the donkey and a pinata, but need more. Any ideas?

My almost 2 year old thinks it’s hilarious to spill milk and other food items on himself and others. He doesn’t want a sippy cup anymore and wants to use a regular cup. I try not to be alarmed when he does this but he laughs himself silly anyways. Help!

My grandson was born 2 months premature. He has a mouth full of teeth but will not eat solid food. He gags or spits the food out. Also he will not pick up food to put in his mouth. I have never seen a baby who did not put things in his mouth before. He is in Early Steps because he was premature. The Early Steps people are quite concerned about his refusal to eat solid food. His pediatrician seemed unconcerned. An evaluation was done and he shows some developmental delay. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Usually I feed him his food right from the cupboard, but now he’s starting on meats and I think it’d be a good idea to give them to him warm, since I always eat meat hot.

I am having my first baby this summer and I have decided that I would like to make my own baby food at home.

Do you make your own homemade baby food?

Do you send homemade baby food along with your baby to daycare?

My mom will be watching my baby a few hours a day while I work part time, should I give her the homemade baby food or will it be inconvenient?

I’m having a hard time eating, about the only things I can eat without getting sick are pink grapefruit and french fries. I used to eat healthy but it’s hard when you can’t keep food down! I’m also too tired to cook, what are some fast food alternatives that are palatable in the first trimester?
