Baby Food: Almost 7 Months

Ok ya'll so I HAVE to do a post about my new favorite thing: Baby Food Making. I never in a million years thought I'd be the Mom making her own baby food but oh my goodness it is so easy! I think I just thought, who has the time for that? But the Baby Breeza makes it so easy! I actually started to do some research when Miss A hit the 6 month mark and became interested in everything we were eating. It was almost heart-breaking to eat in front of her. Although she was exclusively breastfed at the time, she was SO curious and ready to eat so we decided to introduce solids right at 6 months. (She still breastfeeds on schedule, solids at this point I feel like are for introducing foods, textures and getting their palettes ready for later on!)

When doing research on how to begin this new food journey, I came across April's post at A.Liz Adventres about feeding her baby around the same age. She gave the best review on the Baby Breeza and I thought, "Hey, I think I can handle that!" I went to Target and snagged the last one they had on the shelf. Ya'll, it is SUPER simple and you do not need to be a SAHM with unlimited amounts of time- I promise! This baby steams and blends in one, making it so easy to use. A lot of other processors or blenders don't have that built in steam feature. Chop up your fruit, veggie or meat, press how long you want it to steam and blend and literally walk away. You can do whatever else you need to while the Breeza works its magic. When it is done, it will beep loudly and go into the blend feature. Afterwards, I let it cool and then keep some fresh for Miss A to devour and also freeze some for later. I just use ice trays and Ziploc freezer storage bags and it works like a charm. I mean hey, at least you know exactly what they are eating this way! The Breeza also comes with a fabulous recipe book and detailed instructions on steam time, etc.

So far there hasn't been a food that Miss A doesn't enjoy. She is SUCH a fabulous eater and we have really been lucky with her. I've made green beans, carrots, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, applesauce, ground turkey, avocados and I also mix a lot. I'm pretty sure the only terrible face she has made thus far was with bananas! We need to try those again! She also has fortified oatmeal with some breast milk in the morning that comes in a variety of flavors like peach, apple, banana etc from Gerber. Anyway, so far so good and she is growing like a weed. I'm excited to try new foods with her but can time please slow down? Let me know if you try it and like it or if you have any questions! Also, any tips on sippy cups and liquids would be greatly appreciated!
