I mixed it with breast milk at first to get him used to it and thin it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1655849 Fri, 23 May 2014 20:01:37 +0000 daniellemybelle 1655849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do about 50/50 homemade puréed or mashed up/organic jars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1655762 Fri, 23 May 2014 19:03:01 +0000 chopsuey 1655762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mostly homemade, pouches, bananas and yogurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1655660 Fri, 23 May 2014 17:42:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1655660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1655625 Fri, 23 May 2014 17:16:58 +0000 Charm54 1655625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade purees </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1655616 Fri, 23 May 2014 17:05:08 +0000 JessKas 1655616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly BLW, chunks of what we were eating. </p> <p>A few specifically prepared chunks for her and a pouch here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1654502 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:03:49 +0000 Alivoo01 1654502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did baby food in plastic containers for about a month or two since he wasn't fully interested in eating with us then I started giving him lil bits of our food when we ate and purees went out the door. He didn't want anything to do with purees once he had a bite of "real food"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1654093 Fri, 23 May 2014 05:03:08 +0000 Pumuckl 1654093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did glass jar purees for lunch and did chunky foods for breakfast. Usually it was some toast or bread to munch on. He also got some millet pops in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1654040 Fri, 23 May 2014 02:14:08 +0000 lemondrop 1654040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @yin: I picked easy mashable foods most of the time. Occasionally I bought the Gerber tubs of foods for when we went out to dinner or had something too spicy for baby, but mostly some of whatever we ate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1654038 Fri, 23 May 2014 02:10:42 +0000 illumina 1654038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always Ella's Kitchen pouches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1653950 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:55:43 +0000 Running Elley 1653950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade purées for #1, store bought jars for #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1653929 Thu, 22 May 2014 22:37:03 +0000 Grace 1653929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 60% homemade purees and 30% BLW with specially prepared food, 10% food from our plates.

Now that she is almost 10 months I'm getting away from making her separate things as much. When we are out and about I find pouches to be the easiest, but it seems like they would get expensive if you were doing them all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1653271 Thu, 22 May 2014 19:35:27 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1653271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made purees for her. Joke's on me now, cause she doesn't want anything to do with them. I've got a freezer full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/during-the-first-3-months-of-solids#post-1653266 Thu, 22 May 2014 19:34:26 +0000 lawbee11 1653266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purees.
