I'm going to start out homemade and see how it goes.

why?

1. I like knowing what's going into his food, especially when he's so young - no preservatives, no extra sugars, etc.

2. I feel like it will make transition to real 'adult' food easier, as he'll already be used to the taste of everything that we make.

3. I love the idea of being able to make stuff for DS, and as I'm not super crafty, and I love to cook, I'm actually looking forward to it.

Homemade and Earth's Best. ?All natural and organic... I just want to give him the best start possible, plus it saves money!

FYI, Super Baby Food (book) ?is an excellent resource for those who want to make their own food.

Earth's Best and Happy Bellies. ?I don't want to make my own but I want to serve organic. ?

I am going to try to do as much homemade as possible. It just seems like it wont be too difficult, fresher, better taste (possibly), etc. I cook for myself, why not my baby. I made peas yesterday and it couldn't have been easier. Plus, he really seemed to like them.

I'm also going to start w/ homemade and see what happens. ?We eat very healthy food w/o much fat/salt/sugar added, and I always make too much anyway so it wouldn't be any trouble to just run it through a mill for him. ?We eat a lot more veggies than fruit though, so I might buy some kind of all-natural fruit baby foods just to give him some variety. ?I haven't done any research yet as to what brands I'll want to try though.
