Why is it all so complicated!!!!!

Seriously. ?Is it just me or is all of this research for every new stage a little overwhelming? ?Maybe because I am just obsessed with trying to make sure I'm doing everything right for my baby but sometimes I just feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and all of this mixed information makes my head spin!!!!!!!!!!!! ?Home made baby food, jar baby food, organic baby food, making sure they have enough iron, do you give them water or not when breastfeeding, is he too thin or not growing enough...it's making me crazy!

You are making it too complicated 

Feed your baby when they are hungry, move up to new foods as they seem ready, and just do what you can. There is no way i have time to make baby food, so jars it is.  

You realize once they hit the toddler stage it all goes out the window and they will eat nothing but peas one week, then nothing but carrots the next, etc.

You are making this too difficult - its not test or a race.  There is no "right" answer and it will never be completed.  Just hang out with your kid and live your life and it should all (mostly) fall into place.
