The tiny human has been showing an interest in food for a few weeks, reaching for my plate, following my folk full of food, even trying to wrestle the fork to his own mouth. With such strong signs of interest we thought we would give food a go.
We've started with potato.
After boiling the potato, we mash it with no additives till as smooth as possible (a good 2 or 3mins of mashing). It is then mashed with a folk and breast milk is added till the potato forms a nice smooth consistency.
Tiny human loved his first try of potato. He greeted the sight of the bowl & spoon with a big open mouth, and ate about a tablespoon or more. We cut him off, paranoid that he would overeat and then we would need to clean up vomit.
What was the first food you tried with your baby?
We are going to stick with potato for a few days before we add anything new, but it's so exciting to be at this stage of the parenthood adventure.
