Cloth diapers and homemade foods

I feel like I am the only person i personally know to use cloth diapers and make LOs food. I think I'm trying to overcompensate for not being able to breast feed, lol. I actually love it but I get some odd looks when others find out that I'm doing these things. On these boards, they seem like a common practice, but irl I don't know many who do this and feel quite alone. Anyone in the same boat? Is this pretty common with people you know?

Also, I have heard once you start feeding your baby table chunks that they will start getting picky and stop eating pured foods. Is there an age that babies stop pures altogether and use mostly solids?

    Oh I don't think it's uncommon! I make my food too. And my best friend does clothe diapers. I wanted to, but it isn't for me. I use the honest company instead. Not sure about your solids question but I'm curious too.

    I cloth diaper and make my son's food, as did my mom 30 years ago.  I don't think it's all that uncommon.  It's just "trendy" nowadays, IMO.

    I've heard the same about babies refusing puree after getting a taste of chunkier food (table food).  My son isn't really interested in puree half of the time, so I offer a mix of stuff to try - but he still eats more of the puree than anything else.  So I'll keep offering it until he has some teeth to chew table chunks!

    We don't cloth diaper, but the majority of our friends with new babies do CD. I make LO's food, but it took him a while to become interested in solid food at all. He now likes his purees, but really enjoys BLW and feeding himself. Next time around, we will just do BLW. We eat a pretty healthy diet anyway, so it's just easier to feed him what we eat. Now I have a ton of frozen organic fruits and veggies that I probably didn't need to make, but I'm sure we'll end up using them.

    If you dont want to use these as purees, you can always spread them on toast and use them aws dips for LO...

    We are doing BLW and for some reason that gets us odd looks from people.

    I CD, make all of her food, and breast feed. I take it all very seriously, and I think its partly due to the fact that I had to have a C Section. Stupid, I know. But I get where you're coming from. I know some other moms who do these things, but not many.

    So far, my DD isn't very interested in picking up pieces of food I've tried. But she gobbles my pures right up. I keep making them chunkier and chunkier, so she gets accustomed to the textures.

    me too, I had a c-sec, I cloth diaper (but started later when I finally had some time and patience) and I also make LO's food (except when we are on vaca and I buy the packets of organic baby food)
