    About this ebook

    Are you looking to wean your baby to solid foods and make your own organic baby food at home?

    Weaning a baby should be interesting and fun. Always remember that during the process, the baby will still receive much of his or her nutrition from baby formula or breast milk so you get the opportunity to experiment with what your baby likes and what he doesn’t like.

    In "Introducing Solids & Making Your Own Organic Baby Food," we will talk about how to wean a baby, what foods to choose and how to make some really healthy organic baby foods for your baby to dine on. The process of weaning will take several months of trying and testing different foods. Soon, you’ll have a collection of organic foods that will be available for mealtime. We’ll also talk about some troubles you might have with weaning your baby and how to solve them. Every baby gets weaned sometime and will soon have a variety of organic foods that match your own at the supper table.

    Here are some of the things you will discover in this book:

    - Nutritional needs for babies...
    - Signs that your baby is ready for solids...
    - Simple techniques to wean your baby...
    - How to know if your baby is getting the right nutrients...
    - How to avoid food allergies...
    - How to make organic baby food at home...
    - Proper ways to store homemade organic baby food...

      Conclusion

      Introduction

      Taylor’s story: Taylor is a healthy 6 month old who is underweight for her age. She has been exclusively breastfed and mom wants to introduce solids along with breast milk now that Taylor is 6 months old.

      Jason’s story: Jason is five months of age and robust in weight. His parents report he drinks twelve bottles a day and doesn’t seem satisfied. He is curious about what mom and dad are eating but hasn’t eaten solid foods yet.

      Marie’s story: Marie was premature by 2 months and is now 6 months of age. She drinks 8 bottles a day and seems satisfied. She is not showing any interest in the feeding of others.

      The point of these vignettes is to say that every baby is different and what works with one baby may not work well with another baby. There are babies that are perfectly ready to eat solid foods by five months of age and actually seem to need the extra calories they didn’t get from bottled formula. There are babies that have received all their nutrition from mother’s milk and may take some extra time learning how to eat from a spoon. There are babies with health problems or problems with prematurity that may need the doctor’s advice as to when be the best time to start solid foods.

      Breast is Best

      Most pediatricians will tell parents that until the child reaches the age of six months, he or she should be exclusively breast fed on demand. This means that when the baby cries or indicates the need to feed, the mother will breastfeed the child until the child is satisfied.

      Mothers who work or who can’t breastfeed for some reason should find a good formula for the baby. Most formulas are basically the same and include cow’s milk-based formula, soy-formula, and formula that contains elemental formulas for baby’s with allergies or digestive problems. These are the formulas your baby might be on at the time of weaning:

      Soy Formulas. These are for babies that might be allergic to
