Acorn Squash Child Meals Puree

Whereas, I’ve been busy placing collectively slightly ebook for you (extra about my information right here), one of many issues I’ve been trying ahead to since having child Frankie has occurred – she began consuming(!!!) and I wasn’t ready. At ALL!

The plan was that after I wrapped up this ebook mission, I might get into the kitchen to whip some superb purees for her to begin on.

And once I say I used to be planning, what I actually imply is that I had already scheduled a day to make the purees, what purees I used to be going to make (all new recipes), and had thought in depth about which purees I wished to introduce when.

All of this makes me sound loopy – which I’m. I’m engaged on it. However for the time being, when I’m dodging figuring out, that is what I do.

Plan was in place, child is rising and displaying the indicators that she is sort of prepared to start consuming (holding her head up, wanting to take a seat with us throughout meals and eyeing our meals), after which a few week in the past throughout dinner, she reaches over, grabs a hunk of avocado off of her sisters plate and begins munching away on it! At 5 months and 17 days, child lady is able to eat!

Aside from one small factor… I’ve nothing prepared for her to eat but! Me, Mrs. Child FoodE, who spends each waking second enthusiastic about child meals will not be prepared for when my child is able to eat. Disgrace on me!
