When I was pregnant, I KNEW I wasn't going to feed Jack store bought baby food. It has a shelf life of around 3 years, and you don't really know what goes into it. Manufactures legally don't have to put all ingredients on the packaging, plus it is stinking expensive!
What I didn't know, is that we would be doing baby led weaning. What is baby led weaning? Baby led weaning is the act of letting your child feed themselves from the very beginning!
Basically, we have just been giving Jack pieces of whatever we are eating! Jack LOVES IT! He does great with it, especially since he has 8 teeth already. The only down side is that he gets extremely messy!
It's pretty motivating to be eating healthier though! I'm very committed to teaching Jack about nutrition from the very start! Maybe I'm a mean, but I'm really pushing green veggies more than anything, and so far, Jack loves them, especially broccoli!
It's funny. You go into parenthood thinking you are going to do things a certain way, and it doesn't happen that way at all :)
