Most of this blog is geared towards toddlers and pre-schoolers. But I wanted to give some tips for those of you just starting the solid food journey. I started feeding my kids based on the Super Baby Food book by Ruth Yaron. This book is awesome! I still reference it because it is a very comprehensive tome on fruits and vegetables. It describes how to tell when the vegetable or fruit is fresh and how to cook and freeze it. This book walks you through which foods to start your baby out on and which ones should be avoided until a certain age.
If your child is a beginner (at eating), you can still follow a lot of my recommendations. For instance, you may need to feed your child spinach 10 times before they eat it. Or combine a favorite food with a not so favorite one. I put kale in bananas to get my son to start trying it.
Please remember, the earlier you start feeding your child a variety of vegetables, the easier it will be getting them to eat vegetables later on in life. But it is never too late to start.
