So I've been struggling with getting my nine-month-old daughter to eat solids. I started blending her food fresh daily. I went to the grocery store and bought all fresh organic fruits and veggies... the whole nine! She would turn her head, clench her jaws shut, and when I did manage to get some food in her mouth she would spit it out. I was wasting so much food. Even when I made as little as I could she wouldn't eat unless I liquefied it and put it in a bottle. I was so overwhelmed with this stage. Here I was watching and comparing everyone else's child leaping past this milestone and my Brooklyne... is struggling.
The bright side of the story: I was walking through Target and saw Yummy Spoonfuls and at first I thought nothing but what I make myself is good enough for my baby but then I took a closer look. I loved the way it clearly states it only has one ingredient, no GMO's, and all certified organic fruit of veggies. No funny names on the label. I figured why not give it a try. She loves it so far.. I couldn't be happier. They come frozen. You keep it frozen until you ready to use. Keep refrigerated until thawed. Once thawed it must be used within 24 hours. This was so helpful. On days I couldn't blend her food myself I know we can keep practicing with these pre-made packs and since I have 24 hours we can be less wasteful and store it for tomorrow. They have a ton of yummy combinations. I can definitely see this being helpful for working moms who want healthy for their babies but don't always have the time to make it from scratch.
