Iā€™ve been a puree mom and lately I want to try more solids with my baby. I bought him sweet potato. I have the solid starts app but I would like to hear how your babyā€™s like to eat it. Do you bake it and cut it in strips or do you cut them in strips then bake them. Do you season them. If so how? Tia

Soupā€¦ ?

I saw online that pregnant women should not eat soup bought from the shops due to the BPAā€¦ in plastic / tins. I donā€™t have time to make my own soup tonight and Iā€™m really craving it!!

Self feeding

Just curious what others are doing. If your toddler is having a dish with rice or couscous what do you do? Do u make sure itā€™s saucy so that it clumps and they can easily grab with their hands? Do u spoonfeed? Do they spoonfeed themselves? Curious how and what babies are eating
