Babies: 9 - 12 Months

If you make your own baby food and have gone on vacation ....

how did you do it?  If we go out I usually just feed him a banana but we will be away from home for almost a week and staying at a hotel.  Any advice, should I just buy some jar food?  Thanks :) 

Oh and is it ok that I got out some maternity clothes from last summer and plan on wearing them???  I this a horrible don't or acceptable?  I think they look kinda cute and not very maternity.  I am still around 5 lbs from prepreg and the clothes from two years ago don't fit or I already gave them to goodwill.

  • because we flew on our most recent vacation, i just bought a few jars.  we have a food mill too, so when we'd go out to restaurants, i would order steamed to a mush broccoli, carrots or other veggies & puree them with that. all in all, it wasn't that hard. restaurants were very kind to us about everything. and i'm pretty sure DS ate a lot of mashed potatoes when it was DH's turn to puree the food at meal times. ;)

    good luck!

  • We also just bought jarred food when we got to the vacation spot.  We did buy some bananas there for him.  And I wouldn't worry about the maternity clothes :)

  • Yeah, we just bought everything in jars (and bought some yogurt as well to mix jarred fruits in for some variety).  Too much trouble to try & keep food frozen.  We did get a hotel room with a kitchenette, which came in very handy (washing bottles, storing food, etc.)
  • I have a kidco food mill thing that was $12 and is small and plastic. You could bring something like that and put fruits through it. You could also bring to restaurants and order steamed veggies.
  • No, I don't do jars. I just pack a good supply of bananas, then an assortment of frozen cubes. Call ahead to see if your hotel has a fridge/freezer in the room. Almost all decent hotels do. Then, when you are going to be out, just throw some cubes into a container and stick it in a small thermal bag (like what people use to take bottles out). Mash with a fork when ready to serve.

    And yes, I still love some of my maternity clothes too! Luckly, "flowy" is in style

  • I had never heard of a food mill!  Maybe we will find one on our trip down!  Thanks for all the advice.
