Check out cnn today, there is this neat article about feeding kids. The pediatricians admit that there is very little proof for the western model and provide a way to include ethnic/spicier foods into baby's day. http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/parenting/10/10/baby.food.myths.ap/index.html
YES! That makes me happy. We eat lots of spices and I was wondering how on earth I was going to convert that starch and bland vegetable diet to one similiar to ours when the kid started to give up jar food....Now I don't have to! HAHAH!
I lived in arabic countries, and always wondered how they fed their kids so hot + spicey food, because kids start eating with their parents after they weened. (they are nursed longer then here....)
i never used much jar food maybe a few jars of fruit to get them a started and they always loved yogurt. a little cereal. i always seemed to buy this and have more in the cupboard than they ate. once they all had a good start on solids i would just sit them at the table with us and they would eat what our family ate. baby food companies are just money makers in my opinion i see them as i see formula companies.
I don;t understand what you mean. MJ, I agree with you on the babyfood Co. I made my own "baby" food then just fed the babies what we all ate once they started chewing
Makes sense, but even without the article I didn't believe little children need to be fed all these bland foods... after all there are millions of kids in Asia that say so
wow. i had no idea kids weren't "supposed to eat" spicy stuff. i just fed my daughter whatever foods agreed with her, avoiding the obvious milk and honey stuff.
