Day 9 of Introducing Food to Brianna - She Likes Her Peas!

My little Munchkin has been eating her food puree now for over a week... nine days to be exact. I started her November 15th on butternut squash, and fed her that for five days straight. She LOVED it and couldn't get enough. I could of continued to feed her more, but I was afraid she'd turn yellow like when I was a baby.

Brianna started green peas this past Friday, and I must say the first two days were rough. The first day I had to fight with her to even keep it in her mouth... which I think I was wearing more of it then what she was eating. Now that she's been eating it for a few days, she has come to like them. She still prefers the squash though, but I think that's because of it's super smooth texture. No matter how much I pureed the peas, they were still somewhat lumpy at times.

What I've noticed since I introduced food... her bowel movements have become more regular. She was good previous, but would sometimes go a couple days without going. I noticed since starting her on pureed veggies, she's more regular. I've also noticed that it's slightly a little more solid. Before it was more liquid, and sometimes would leak out of the leg of the diaper... gross! Now it's like the consistency of guacamole... and actually looks like it since the green peas... I'll be avoiding that for quite some time now!

Since she's on day four of the peas, tomorrow will be her last day. With the intro of two items so far, there hasn't been any allergy issues. What's next on the list of food? Carrots and then avocado...  yum!

Day 3 of Brianna Starting Food... my Baby is Growing!

My little Munchkin is now four months old, and she's growing so fast. I look back at pictures from when she was just born, and she looks so tiny. My cutie amazes me each day, and is getting smarter day by day. Just last week she had her four month pediatrician appointment, and got her second set of shots... poor baby cried. The doctor said it's time to start introducing some foods, which has been fun so far.

The first food of choice is butternut squash! We are currently on day three of giving it to her, and she's loving it. So far it doesn't appear to bother her one bit... no allergies to it. With it being fall and in season, I thought squash is the perfect thing to start with, plus it's quite mild and slightly sweet. Yes, I decided to stick to making my own baby food... cheaper and healthier than buying anything prepared. I will most likely share any recipes that I create in the near future. I will be feeding her a new food every fifth day, that way she sticks to one food for four days to monitor for allergies. The easiest way of keeping track of everything, is to just share it on here... kind of keeping a little food diary. I think next, she will try green peas!
