 I used to read another blog that did something similar to this every month or so, though I don’t remember whose it was. Every month there are always posts someone else writes that are particularly funny or thoughtful or that just say something that I could say in better words than I ever would. [...]  We did baby-led introduction to solids with Meredith, and will do the same with Fiona. Proponents say that this method of introducing foods is more natural and that kids are less likely to be picky about what they eat. One of the keys is to offer variety. I find this part hard sometimes. For [...] 
I recently came across the Food Renegade blog when a friend sent me the link to the book she wrote thinking I might be interested in it (I was, in fact when she comes out with her one for kids I may get one or both of [...] Unfortunately, it seems that Meredith has definitely inherited Kris’ milk allergy (he has a true allergy, not an intolerance). She went five or six months almost 100% potty trained, though she would occasionally have a few days in a row with a lot of accidents. Then a couple of months ago I connected the [...] A while ago, I posted an article about the Natural Age of Weaning by Dr. Katherine Dettwyler. I recently found another article by the same person about childhood sleep patterns that I feel is very well written and worth a read. Meredith still doesn’t “sleep through the night” by most people’s [...] This last month we’ve really gone off the meal plan bandwagon. What with Kris’ surgery, lots of travel, Meredith teething, and just general laziness lack of motivation, it hasn’t been happening. But, I feel like we haven’t been offereing Meredith enough variety and she’s getting to that age where access to a variety of [...] I thought I’d posted this last year but I searched and can’t find it. Whether I did or not though, it’s worth posting again. This family really inspired me last year when I was feeling a bit down about how tiny my yard is and whether I’d ever be able to [...]  Meredith still eats very little, and nurses a whole lot. She’s still growing well and happy and healthy, so I’m not concerned. I do sometimes wonder if she realizes that solid foods will even fill her up. If I had to guess, I’d say at least 75-80% of her nutrition is coming from breastmilk, [...] I love to see what recipes other families make and enjoy, so I thought I’d start sharing some of mine. We cook almost everything from scratch, and try to eat mostly whole foods and organic when affordable. I’ve had to be a bit creative lately, as Kris is doing an elimination diet in an [...] By Fiona Morrow VANCOUVER — It’s time to pack up the pea purée and toss the baby rice. No more blending beans, mashing bananas or whipping sweet potatoes. Fed up with rigid timetables for the introduction of first foods, a growing number of parents are giving up on spoon feeding and letting the kids [...] |
