Baby Food Grinder

We’re rapidly approaching the end of fall, but there are still some great vegetables that are in season: carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato and turnip.  All of these veggies make great meals for baby, and are full of essential nutrients and fiber. Cook by steam, boil or bake. Then mash or puree them to the desired consistency.  Add some of the water from cooking to thin the puree if necessary.  No need to add any seasoning – these veggies have a lovely flavor all on their own.  You could even mix and match, perhaps blend some sweet potato with pumpkin, just to bring baby a little variety.

My baby girl is almost 10 months old and for the past month she won’t eat her jarred baby food. I try to make her eat just a little bit, but she won’t sit still long enough for me to feed her and acts uninterested in it even though I KNOW she is hungry. I try to give her different kinds, so I know that she’s not bored with the flavours. So all she eats now is those rice rusk things and her formula. I afraid that she’s not get all the nutrients she needs. She ate her jarred food just fine and loved it since she was about 4 months old. How can I get her interested in her food again?
