Let Us Give Thanks for All the Delicious Foods

What do you plan on doing with LO and food? Whether you make your own puree or buy or do BLW - what do you plan on letting LO have? 

We do BLW so I plan on cutting up some turkey breast into strips, green beans, and some mashed potatoes. I'm unsure of everything else at this point. Thankfully, my inlaws don't use a lot of salt in their cooking. I'm curious as to what other moms are doing.

DS has not liked any solid foods so far but I am going to try mashed potatoes and maybe cranberry sauce.

@babybarlow2014 - how did he do with the mashed potatoes?

@becole42 - I've been using this page as my resource. I plan on having MIL put some potato to the side and mash it with some paprika.

I bought some jars of turkey and I will do some other veggies/fruit. Sweet potato, green beans, pumpkin purees

DD is six months on Dec.1, so we might let her try her first food (like a carrot) on Thanksgiving.

I plan on throwing some turkey and gravy into the Vitamix. She'll also get green beans, potatoes and cranberry sauce. And whatever else she's into I guess.

We mostly do purees so we'll give him sweet potatoes, carrots (we already have cubes of these frozen) and maybe some bits of turkey.

We're kinda doing a mix I guess. She's had puréed food twice and sometimes I give her some of whatever we are eating. We were at panera yesterday and gave her some of the bread to num on, a tomato and cucumber. Thinking I will give her a slice of turkey and some mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. Still very nervous about blw, which is why we don't do it often at all.

Anyone purée folks tried a meat? My LO did not like the chicken and I tasted it- it was just chicken ground up. I even tried it like 4 days in a row hoping he would come around. Nope.

Mix it with some fruit or a sweet veggie...pear is good for mixing, I bet sweet potato would work also.

@becole42‌ , my LO liked homemade chicken puree well enough on its own, but LOVED the chicken puree mixed with applesauce.

I'm planning to let LO have a couple of green beans and a strip of turkey breast to play with, as well as homemade butternut squash and yam purees. Edited to add: she's already had green beans, squash, and yam; turkey will be new, but she's had chicken before.

No point doing a fruit or something for "dessert" because she still is highly suspicious of all fruits unless diluted with something else (applesauce with chicken, banana with oatmeal).
