My Little Gourmet
We bought a case of Beechnut Stage 1 food out at BJs last weekend, and over the last two days have discovered a very cool thing: Sadie prefers them over Gerber. Never would have occurred to me that there might be that much difference between baby foods, but tasting them ourselves we’d have to agree. Jay reports that the sweet potato tastes more like real sweet potato, and I thought the same about the banana (that it tastes more like real banana, that is...). Nothing Beechnut has been anything but enthusiastically wolfed down, with the exception of rice cereal, and who can blame her? I mean, it’s not like there’s such a thing as good rice cereal. Heh.
I was a nanny for my neice and after she ate fruits and vegtables she wouldn’t accept rice cereal that wasn’t mixed with fruit or veg.
I have to say - the best babyfood ever was actually in the frozen foods section. I don’t remember the name but it was the best tasting to me - and the baby liked it too!
It is really, really easy to make your own and then freeze it in ice cube trays… way cheaper and easier than you think. I am not the ‘earth mother’ type (I was just the aunt/nanny after all) but it was worth it.
