Starting Solids
Many people decide to start introducing solid foods to their babies once they hit that 6-month mark. There are a couple of things to look for to make sure your baby is ready to start solids:
- Baby can sit up on their own without support.
- Baby no longer has the tongue-thrust reflex (automatically pushes solids out of their mouth).
- Baby is showing interest in food.
- Baby is at least 6 months old per the World Health Organization’s recommendations.
Purees or Baby Led Weaning
There are so many options when it comes to starting your little one on solids. Some people choose to start with purees, others choose to start with Baby Led Weaning. Sometimes it’s a combination of the two! Some families will buy their baby food in stores or online, and others will make everything homemade. There’s no right or wrong way to do things – It really depends on what works for your family!
Convenience for Busy Parents
What I DO know as a busy mom is that sometimes you don’t have time to make something healthy and nutritious. It’s nice to have a back-up in your diaper bag for snacks, as well. This is where I rely on Serenity Kids Organic Baby Food.
Most baby food pouches on the market today are loaded with sugary fruits and limited nutrition, as well as not having high-quality ingredients. Serenity Kids has been a great choice for our family. Their pouches are full of nutrient-dense meats, veggies, and fats, and they’re all organic! There are even vegetarian options if that’s more your style. You can feel great about giving these to your little ones. Harlow’s favorite is the Grass-fed Beef, but she devours ALL of them.
If you want to give them a try, let us know – we have samples in the office you’re welcome to take home! Whenever you’re ready to order, go on over to their site, choose which pouches you want, and make sure to add code ROOTSCHIRO at checkout for 15% off your first order. Don’t forget to let us know what you think (and whether your babe enjoyed it)!
