Solid Food Chart – New chart posted is grouped by foods!

Many of our visitors have asked that we create a chart according to foods and food groups;  so today I created a page as well as a download.  I hope you find it helpful.  Please do remember that charts on wholesomebabyfood.com are conservative compared to many other resources.  I have always felt that when feeding [...]

Has feeding your baby avocado made your baby constipated?

Cori Beth sent us an email and asked the folowing: I am also wondering if anyone else has had avocado make their baby constipated.

Baby Foods to Avoid – Are Forbidden Foods Still Relevant?

We received an email this evening regarding delaying the introduction of foods listed on our Forbidden Foods chart. Sandra wrote the following: Your list of “forbidden” foods is very poorly outdated.

Meat as Baby’s First Solid Food?

We have received a few emails within the week asking us why we don’t list meat as baby’s first solid food. Some of these emails have come from our Canadian visitors and 1 came from a U.S. visitor.

The idea that the diet of mothers, infants and children could have an influence on long-term mental performance has major implications for public health practice and policy development, as well as for food product development and economic progress.

A Baby’s Sweet Tooth

As many worry that introducing sweet potatoes before green beans will make baby grow-up with a monsterous sweet tooth, we posted a snippet from a study that shows the order of solid foods that baby is introduced to really doesn’t matter (keeping in mind potential allergens and age appropriateness that is).  Today we were looking [...]

Order of Introducing Solid Foods – Should Green come before Yellow?

There must be a lot of little 6 month old babies out there who will be getting some yummy homemade baby foods soon.  We have had quite a few emails about the “proper” order to introduce solid foods in the last week.    The truth is, there is no “proper” order at all.  Some say introduce the [...]
