Hi moms - my baby is 6 months old soon and we are going go start solids for her. I would love to hear recs / tips around solid feeding. Any blogs / articles that you recommend to read / follow? What are you favorite products for feeding? In addition, for the age of 6 months to 9 months, what are some of your baby favorite toys / activities (especially during this pandemic time). Thank you all so much!

Feeding Littles on IG was the single best baby/parenting class we took (we did both infant & toddler courses). I recommend to to everyone to see if BLW is right for them. It has had a tremendous positive impact on our family. If anything, their IG & blog are a trove of info & recommendations.

Introduce allergens and flavor early! You’ll thank yourself later for not having a picky eater. My toddler eats everything we eat now and it’s wonderful.

We do raised real which feels like an easy button to ensuring he has a broad / nutritious diet

We steamed when necessary, blended/mashed & then froze the food in ice cube trays. Would do it once a week or biweekly. Through them in freezers bags. Pulled a couple out and microwaved for a couple seconds each meal!
Avocado & banana mashed together was the favorite & easiest. Freezes well too.
Easy to measure how much they are eating too.

Don’t buy a lot of purée specific items (food maker, storage, etc) they are out of purée stage very quickly. Just start with soft and steamed foods and gradually offer more chewable options as baby’s teeth come in. We did a mix of purées (homemade in food processor and store bought) and baby led weaning which just means letting your baby figure out a banana or noodles as is.

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave. Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)
