Remember how I told you I wanted to be a smutty novelist? Well, dreams really do come true!
Sort of.
As it turns out my original subject matter was a **little** off, but the dream of writing a book is alive and well. Oh sure, there was that little gap between when I was eight and when I turned – ahem – where was I? Not discussing my old age with all of you, I’m sure! Let’s see . . .
Oh yes, there was that **brief** twenty-year interlude before Daddypotamus started Mommypotamus.com against my will, set up Twitter accounts without my knowledge, and then harassed me until I wrote. And now, there’s a book.
About Babies. And REAL FOOD.
Did you know that real food can help kids avoid braces? It can also prevent - or even heal – cavities, clear up eczema, help your kids focus in school and improve their moods. Did you know that how we nourish our daughters in the early years of their life may determine whether their hips are wide enough for an easy, complication-free labor?
Yep, food is that powerful. And we as parents wield that power for our children. I don’t know about you, but in a world where McDonald’s scrambled eggs contain 20+ ingredients - instead of just, you know, EGGS -I can’t say I put much trust in the industrial food complex to help us with our mission. If ever a generation needed real, nourishing food, it is the one we are raising. I wrote this book to help parent sort through what that looks like in real life.
So, Uh, Are You Going To Tell Us What It’s Called?
Oh right! It’s called Nourished Baby, and it covers everything from how the actual birth experience affects food cravings to tips for cultivating your toddler/preschooler/older child into an adventurous eater.
There’s a whole lotta stuff not published here, too, like photos of my breastmilk under a microscope, the secret I use to get my boy to take his cod liver oil, and of course lots of baby-friendly recipes that your whole family will enjoy! I loved writing it for you and I hope you will love reading it.

And, my best advice, currently: wait until baby is showing clear signs he is ready to eat before starting solids.

My best piece of advice for feeding babies is to let them lead you. Don’t force feed them anything, and let them feed themselves. I find my son is much more open to eating things if we let him feed himself.
I would LOVE to read this book (on a Kindle or not, of course a Kindle would be neat
)!

Best baby feeding advice—let them eat what you are eating…exactly what you are eating! I fed my baby pureed feed less than 10 times in her baby eating life…and it made my life so much easier!! I just cut up or steamed whatever we were eating –or did some extra veggies or fruit. She could eat apple slices without any choking by 9 months. A lot of people say this is the best way because it encourages development, allows them to stop when they are done and to not eat something if for someone reason it just is not right for them. i *think* its the easiest thing to do if your a busy mom juggling multiple kids and life…they eat while I eat AND there food is our food…easy!

My best piece of baby feeding advice is variety, variety, variety! I offered my kids a large of variety of foods to try and they like almost everything. I love being the weird family that has kids who ask for artichokes and asparagus and broccoli. LOL!
My best advice… feed baby what the rest of the family eats, even “weird” stuff. Then they get a taste for what you normally eat.
Can’t wait to read your book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I facebooked it!
And I hope you don’t mind if I DO say that Micah is adorable on the cover!!! I stood in a massive ant pile to get that shot!
And my best advice is to never tell your children something is “yucky.” Expose them to all kinds of foods — not just chicken nuggets and macaroni. My son (three) eats everything from Vietnamese food to German fare and seafood of all sorts. Friends are always asking what my secret is. I tell them I just let him eat!
Congratulations! I’m sure the book will be more than excellent! I signed up for your newsletter….what an awesome giveaway!

I posted this link on Facebook…I already “liked” you (on FB)…I emailed 5 of my friends about this giveaway and my best baby feeding advice is always have them try new things (once their little tummies are ready). Out of my 5 children I have some who like to eat the same things over and over and others who want something different all the time but the common thread between them is everyone has to “try” new foods. As a mom I make MANY recipes and I don’t cater to any one person at the table each meal is meant for all to try. Hopefully as they grow they will be more and more adventurous with food. Thanks for all your wonderful posts!

I have a strange breastfeeding question. I stopped breastfeeding my daughter way too soon because,,,, wait for the kicker,,, I produced too much milk. The three separate lactation consultants I visited said I produced milk for triplets. Because of the mastitis and gagging my daughter, along with a slew of other problems I stopped breastfeeding at 3 months. What could I have done to reduce my amount of milk?
I’m already a happy subscriber, Facebook liker, frequent question asker and follower but let’s get real! I’m not going to win, so, where the heck can we buy the book!? I am so proud of your accomplishments! What an inspiration you are to all of us! Congratulations!

my best baby feeding advice… they are all so very different. my first baby absolutely refused to eat until after she was one and my second was affectionately known as “the avocado muncher” before he was nine months. babies don’t come with instruction manuals for reasons — there aren’t hard rules — just love.
Glad to hear about your daughter… my little girl (9 months) will eat very little. She doesn’t tolerate anything that isn’t nearly liquid. I’m trying to stay patient and let her drive this, but I also want to offer up new tastes. Patience, patience patience…… =]

Elizabeth Beattie´s last [type] ..Family Date Night at the Pumpkin Patch
Most perplexing question… I started my son off with solids around 7-8 months, and he ate EVERYTHING I put in front of him. The day (literally) he turned one, he started to refuse any and all veggies and almost all proteins, with the exception of cheese and nuts. I’ve heard a number of other moms say similar things happened to them. What happened?!
Krista, did your son receive any “special” birthday foods that weren’t normally a part of his diet on his birthday?

My little girl is 4 months old this Wednesday. She is a chunky monkey, and I think she is getting everything she needs with just my milk. I started her brother on cereal around 5.5 months so I’m planning on waiting until 6 months with her. Should I start with cereal again or go straight to fruits/veggies?

My best feeding advice – don’t know if it’s been shared- Let the kids help in the making/cooking process. They are more likely to eat something they helped with.

And my best baby feeding advice is to keep them away from all forms of sugar (except fruit) and excess carbohydrates (too much bread, rice, crackers, etc.) for as long as possible. It really helps them learn to love the right kinds of truly nourishing food before adding “treats” to the mix.

as for feeding advice- I’ve always introduced savory vegetables before fruit. I get them eating a good assortment of veggies and garlic and herbs before exposing their palate to things like applesauce and bananas. So far we are three for three for veggie lovers. But I would also add that there is no need to rush the food introduction. My first was eating a large assortment of things relatively young, but my other two had no interest in solids until they could feed themselves. It will happen when it happens.
Really excited about your book!

My advice is to take the time to consider the things we CAN’T see before starting a baby on solids. Just because the common recommendation is a certain age and certain milestones does NOT mean a baby is ready on the inside. We have plenty of other indicators that can give us some insight on whether a baby is ready internally- like type of birth (colonization), method of feeding (breast vs formula), exposure to antibiotics, whether baby has teeth or not (proper enzymes to break down the food in the first stage of digestion), etc. It’s just a matter of making it an important enough issue to take the time to consider those things rather than doing what is easy and going by “4-6 months, sitting up, no tongue thrust”, etc. Its SO worth the effort!!
Pretty bland advice in my opinion but can’t think of anything “great” haha –> If baby doesn’t like a particular food one day, try again another day! And offer a wide variety of foods to get used to the different tastes and textures of foods. One other thing I did with Makena when she was about 9 months old is we would go through the spices cabinet and smell all of the different spices. It was fun watching the expressions on her face

My best baby feeding advice probably isn’t all the earth shattering for the folks around “these parts,” but I’m always amazed at how easily people will give their babies food that isn’t, well food! Real food is so simple. We’ve been doing Bably led weaning with our almost 7 month old and it’s AMAZING at how she loves to eat real nourishing food!

I don’t have a lot of experience with ‘feeding babies’ since I only have one child & she’s only 9 months
but best feeding advice given to me has been to nurse her until at least a year and to hold off on grains for a year or two.

best food advice: offer food over and over and over and over again! that whole “you have to offer a new food 867 times” is true! and with some foods, i’ve found that it depends on their mood – sometimes they love carrots, sometimes not so much – kids are weird. oh, and i never force my kids to eat anything they don’t want to, but i only serve them what the rest of the family is eating!

Liked, Linked, Emailed 5 friends, Already receive newsletter, huh. Now advice: We have a lot of food allergies in our family. I have learned over the years of dealing with this that we must give a great variety of foods and rotate them (never eating the same thing over and over again.) This helps prevent new food allergies. Also, as a bonus, your kids will eat just about anything!
I believe that is 5 entries!

A friend of mine was feeding her 10 month old baby and she told me that it was the first time he was having a potato. I was shocked. He is mostly on jar foods and gets yogurt from the store as well. Meanwhile, I make everything for my baby including yogurt and feeding him raw milk. This book encourages mommies like me and even mommies who don’t know and want to learn!

Best baby feeding advice: We start solids when the baby is feeding him or herself – they eat whatever we are eating when they start grabbing it off my plate – (as long as it is soft). and I have never worried about fruit being a “bad” food to start, since breastmilk, though it changes flavor and concentration of fats and protein all the time, is basically sweet. God must have a really good reason for that, and who am I to question His wisdom?

Since I do not have children yet, (I just like to be prepared for when I do! haha), I’ll be asking a question! haha
Do babies have different dietary needs than that of adults, or do they just eat the same foods with smaller proportions? I seem to remember reading it somewhere (possibly here), but I have not found much on it since that first time…
Thank you!

My best piece of advice regarding feeding your baby is to follow your own baby’s cues. Don’t feel the rush to start feeding him/her solids at 4 months because that’s the “earliest” you can do it…trust your instincts & your baby’s cues. He/she will be just on momma’s milk for quite a while!

My best piece of advice for feeding babies is like you said, feed them actual food! Not stuff from jars at walmart! Cook a stinking carrot, mash it up and feed! Hehehe
And, um, if the smell from said can or jar makes you gag….please don’t put it in the baby…….
And I facebooked it!
P.S. I am so excited about this book (and th Kindle!). I would LOVE to have both. Our oldest son has tons of severe allergies and severe eczema, and we’re also very interested in how food affects his/our behavior, etc. Even if I don’t win, I am putting this book on my “MUST HAVE” list!

Best advice for feeding a baby? Don’t forget!! LOL — and if baby wants more, give it…and if baby doesn’t want more, don’t give it. Hmmm, I guess my advice for feeding is like my advice for all of parenting — think of your baby as a person worthy of respect. I found my babies often had a lot to teach me!!
Best feeding baby advice?
Please, please, please don’t give your baby soda…especially not the diet kind. I’m tempted to make up an information card to hand out to the many, many parents I watch hand a diet coke to their kids who are barely a year old, or even in bottles.

HaleyLeann´s last [type] ..Recipes I Can’t Wait to Try #49
My best baby feeding advice is WAIT! I started my first daughter around 9 months and have just started letting my 6 month old play with food. It’s such unnecessary work in my opinion to prepare and feed them when they 4 months. Ive nursed both and was never concerned they weren’t getting enough nutrition. Letting them explore and play with food involved them in meal time.

My best piece of food advice would be give them lots of variety and feed them what you are eating.(within reason of course) My kids eat anything I put in front of them. They say their favorite vegetable is broccoli and call fruit “God’s candy”. =)

Best food advice when feeding babies: NEVER underestimate the power of herbs/seasonings.
For example: nutmeg; has strong antibacterial properties that kill cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth, great for improving memory, aids in digestion and helps reduce “flatulence” (such a funny word that I love), not to mention it’s great in treating anxiety and depression.
So why wouldn’t we use a little of it with our baby’s foods?

I suscribed! My baby food comment. Avacado is one of the healthiest foods for babies. For an easy way to have ready made avacado use this recipe
4 ripe avacados
freshly squeezed OJ. Blend the meat of the avacado with a few tsp of fresh OJ and peaks slightly when you drop a tablespoon full onto wax paper. Freeze overnight and then transfer freezer tight container. It is a great snack or side to any baby/toddler meal and stays pretty and green. To eat just let thaw to room temp.

My best piece of advice is to keep trying. Just because your baby acts like he or she doesn’t like a certain food, their taste could change, and it could end up being their favorite food ever. If you give up and don’t offer it to them anymore, then you’ll never know!

If you want your kids to eat good food, YOU need to eat good food. What your kids see you eating has a HUGE impact on what they will eat. Don’t assume your kids won’t like something just because you don’t like it or it’s not a “kid” food. You might just find yourself amazed to see your toddler choosing broccoli over candy someday. Oh, and read ingredients, not just words on a label. Words like “natural”, “free range” and “organic” don’t always mean it is good for you. Organic cookies and “natural” 7-Up won’t make your kids any healthier than skittles and kool-aid.

Skip the purees. Would you want to be force fed grey goo? Letting them feed themselves early starts messy, but our son was eating better at 9 months than my nephew is at 2 years. And it takes out the stress of mealtime. No special preparations for baby and mom doesn’t have to spend her meal feeding baby, then holding/entertaining baby while she eats. Baby is part of the group from day one.
My best piece of advice is to not let my tastes/preferences negatively influence theirs! Just b/c I don’t like something healthy doesn’t mean I can’t/shouldn’t prepare it & offer it to them. I am surprised at how willing they are to try new things & actually like them – I wish I could time travel back & make my mom introduce more foods to me as a toddler!

OK, so I already “like” you on FB, already subscribe to your posts. My best piece of baby feeding advise is to not rush it. No child has ever gone off to college still exclusively nursing. Listen to your baby and let him/her lead. As I continue to learn in a variety of ways as my children grow and change, no child had the same development trajectory. Some babies are ready for solids a 6 months, some not until a year. And it is all OK. My other piece of advise is to feed your baby what you are eating. No need for extra jars.

I think my best piece of baby feeding advice would be never do purees. We made all of our own baby food and though next time I’d likely just do baby led weaning, I do think a lot of our success in an adventurous eating toddler is due to the textural similarities of finely chopped food to actual food. Purees kind of creep me out and I can’t imagine the texture is similar to most normal foods. That is just what worked for us though
Every baby is different!

Baby Food question: What are some easy way to ensure your breast milk is RICH for your baby? Any “Must-eats”? I’m worried that somehow my diet will cause my breast milk to be somewhat lacking.
I signed up for the newsletter because a friend emailed me and I am so glad that I did! Needed this site badly!
Our son was really good with being adventurous with foods when we were making him babyfood (purees). Now he has become a picky eater. Is it better to give him some food, or let him go hungry if he won’t eat what you put in front of him. I think he could LIVE on grapes and cheese if it was his choice, but I am not sure that is the best idea.

My question – can I REALLY skip purees altogether?? My 6 month old baby girl is thin and my pediatrician (a fairly crunchy one!) is insistent that do solids for her, and that nursing 4x/day is plenty… And that the calories in our milk really starts dropping at 6 months… Baby girl isn’t too interested in eating “solids” yet. Pureed avocado just isn’t doing it for her… :-/

Advice about feeding babies (my baby anyway): I let my son guide me as far as what texture works for him – I expose him to different things (steamed asparagus, veggie sticks, I recently found nitrate-free/nitrite-free turkey dogs for my dairy-free baby and he loves those, soy yogurt, etc.) and see what he likes as far as taste and texture- but then I also try the things he rejects the first time again and again at different times… he hated banana the first like 6 or 7 times and now loves bananas.

Best feeding advice is to keep putting the good stuff in front of them, even during the picky stages (which all of mine have gone through at some point). Within a few tries, they are usually gladly devouring the thing that they were rejecting. It’s not our job to make them eat, it’s simply our job to offer them good (real!) food.

Baby food advice: Set aside half a day to cook, puree, & freeze your baby food. Place the puree into ice cube trays, cover, & freeze. After frozen, empty them into a labeled freezer bag. When meal time arrives, grab your desired servings from the freezer, heat, & serve. A little half a day effort creates immediate & convenient service to a hungry & demanding baby!

My best advice about breastfeeding babies:
1) Don’t get discouraged! It isn’t easy for everyone but, with rare exceptions, you can do it!
2) Listen to your baby and your body, instead of listening to other people and/or watching the clock.
3) If you need medication to help jumpstart your supply, do NOT use Reglan! (It crosses the blood/brain barrier and causes depression, and it does so quickly. Domperidone is a MUCH safer alternative! (It does NOT cross the blood/brain barrier.) I took Domperidone for two years with no side effects, save some slight headaches and cramping the first day or two.

Advice about breastfeeding: If your baby is having trouble nursing, consider using a medicine dropper to prime the pump. My first baby has serious sensory issues in his mouth and could not latch properly because he was screaming so frantically. Using a medicine dropper filled with breast milk calmed him down enough to start feeding.

best piece of advice I received about feeding babies…. when the child is 12 months or younger, don’t stress out over solid foods. the baby’s main source of nutrition should be breastmilk, and all other foods are just “practice.” so if my 9 month old only wants breastmilk and bananas for a week, that’s fine! he is nourished and growing as long as i am nursing him regularly.

my advice is to NOT RUSH IT! i was frustrated with my first child trying to get her to eat when the dr told me to, but she didn’t get much in her mouth and wasn’t interested. it took a long time for her to be able to do it herself and actually get food in her mouth. with my second i was kind of lazy and just let him do it when he was ready. and wouldn’t you know, he picked it up pretty quick!

And finally, my best piece of advice. I’m a naturopath, specialised in mothers and children. So whenever I treat a baby of young child with supplements, my best advice to mothers is NOT to taste it. Most taste horrible, but the baby won’t notice… to them it’s not ‘horrible’, it’s ‘interesting’.
But mommy tasting and hating it means she’ll subconciously gives her opinion to her child “He’ll never eat THIS!’… Oh yes, he will, as long as you treat it like a normal piece of nice food. Same goes for veggies, by the way

My best advice about feeding babies is to actively try breastfeeding. I know that there are many situations in life when this is near impossible; but, work to help your child(ren) in their early stages of life. I struggled and fought hard for several months to produce enough and to get my baby to drink efficiently. It does get easier! Also, try to calm your baby and sincerely smile before and during meals. Sometimes parenting is a challenge for everyone…it is a daily decision to eliminate selfishness. If you are frustrated and confused, pray to Jesus and consult your family. Chances are that at least someone has either good advice or support for you. Good luck and God bless!

My advice to feeding a baby is make your own and skip the jarred, over-processed mush. The jarred baby foods are all the same texture and tastes nothing like real food. Just throw whatever fresh or slightly cooked unseasoned veggies or fruit in a blender or food processor and voila! homemade baby food. Easy peasy, especially if you just use whatever the rest of the family is having.

Not sure if this is best feeding advice – but it’s an easy, quick meal for little ones. We freeze our homemade bone broth in ice cubes. Then I can grab a few and cook it up with carrots and celery for a quick toddler lunch. Super easy and he loves it!

My advice: do NOT eat onions! When mommy eats onions (which I love) both of my breast-fed babies have had terrible gas pains.

what i want to know is the truth about nuts and eggs and babies? i’ve heard both that giving them and not giving them before 1 or 2 is the right thing to avoid kids getting allergies… but i wonder why? and if there really is an underlying cause such as vaccine reactions or something else….

My son is almost 6 months old and I am breastfeeding. He’s below the 50% on the growth charts, and I’m wondering if it’s time to start solids. I have read SO MANY things about when and what, and even things that say “DON’T!!!!” until up to a year. The questions: When should I start my baby on solids? What should those first foods be? Will starting him before 6 months hurt him?

I used babyled weaning somewhat when introducing my son to foods. We let him play with the food and explore textures and, yes, put it in his mouth and cough sometimes (he never choked on anything). He’s two now and people are amazed at what he’ll eat. Sometimes he initially doesn’t want to eat something, but I don’t push it on him and he usually comes around in his own time and asks for some of it. Sometimes just a minute after he said he didn’t want any.
I’m thankful that he enjoys eating!

I raised my kids in the 80′s on well water (no fluoride) and using ‘table foods’ instead of baby foods. I believe the hot book at the time was Love Me – Feed Me. Not one of my four children needed braces and neither were they cavity prone as children or adults. I also let them touch and ‘play’ with their food to the horror of my mother-in-law – and I let them bang around with the pots and pans (my mother believed letting a child do this promoted intelligence!
I’m still a crazy grandma that believes in letting my grandbabies explore and create. Yes, things can get a bit messy – but that is what water is for!
I sent an email link to five ‘friends’ which included one daughter and two daughter-in-laws.

My best baby feeding advice is to buy a hand baby food grinder that fits easily into a diaper bag or purse so you can feed your baby easily real food everywhere you go.

My advice is to skip the jarred baby food. We would start with mashed banana or something similar. By 7 or 8 months we would give them mashed table food (the plainer ones without sauces or too much spices).

Would love to win and read your book!
My advice is to avoid “baby food.” We bought a food mill and ground up whatever we were eating for that particular meal. My kids love many different foods, love veggies, and are adventurous about trying new flavors.

My best piece of advice: Babies do not produce amalayse (the enzyme for starch digestion) until their back molars appear. For some babies, this is at a year, but for others(like mine) it takes as long as two years! So hold off on the grains until you see those back teeth…or they will only rot in your little one’s belly.

My best advice is to do the best you can and follow your baby’s cues – not what everyone else or “traditional” thought says is right!!

Feeding babies…I fed my son pesto on his pasta from a VERY early age (6 months). Not sure if pinenuts are good (allergies?), but learned that have to suspend what you THINK they will like and let them try crazy things before they know it’s weird or different. He loved Puttanesca sauce with anchovies, capers and olives around 7-8 months.

And here is my baby feeding advice for an extra entry:
– much more nutritious and healing.
Use meat stock for evth you used to prepare with water for your baby (evth but fruits of course
[...] Now, we don’t make just any old marshmallows. We make vanilla bean, gingerbread, chai, lemon and even peppermint ones. Not only do we love to eat them…we love to give them away. Marshmallows make great gifts and if you pair them up with some grain free graham crackers and a few roasting sticks, you can make some amazing ‘Smore’ packages. (Look for a great ‘graham cracker’ recipe in Heathers new book ‘Nourished Baby‘.) [...]
Just found your blog. It look awesome!

I read/heard that it takes many times introducing a food before a baby decides she likes it. SO just b/c she won’t eat something today doesn’t mean she won’t like it later. I keep giving her those foods to try.
