Introducing food to babies What and when to feed your baby is a very individual process that has to suit both parent and baby, and more often than not will be dictated by your baby’s preferences anyway. Having just negotiated and explored the world of food with my baby I wanted to share some thoughts, recipes and ideas. For all babies it is advised to avoid dairy and gluten for the first year, which suits perfectly a healthy whole food diet. It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first six months and then start to introduce solids, however all babies are different. My baby boy, Archer, was really interested in food by 14 or 15 weeks, so not even four months, making a goldfish mouth whenever he saw us eating which was highly amusing! He then became really hungry; waking for feeds every hour and a half in the night when he had been sleeping much better!!

I’ve recently had my first baby, so this month I am going to focus on all things baby-related! Everyone wants a healthy, happy baby. A calm relaxed parent is one important key to having a happy baby and I’ve found that by informing myself on all kinds of approaches to parenting I’ve been able to make my own way. When it comes to baby health, naturally I’m a fan of using natural products. By reducing the chemicals and additives that your baby is exposed to in your home, on your baby’s skin, in their food, and in your food you are giving your baby a great start to life. Organico Baby Club As well as being amazing, having a new baby in the house can be confusing, expensive and traumatic! I have decided to launch a Baby Club at Organico to try to help reduce the confusion and cost of new parenthood. The Organico Baby Club will give members access to useful information, new parent get-togethers, and lots of discounts on nappies, food, formula, wipes and other essentials at Organico. Membership is free, just call in and sign up. The Baby Club Goodie bag contains a great article on healthy weaning by Jessica Mason (Jess works in Organico kitchen and is a fantastic cook!).   Continue reading →
