Hey guys I have another really dumb
question. Okay jayden is 6 months old.
Well instead of buying all the small fruit
jars of baby food. Is it okay if I mash
up bananas, peaches, and pears myself?
She seems to loooove it that way. And
its so much cheaper. The other question
is..How abut regular applesauce?? I mean
is there too many additives or what? I
can get unsweetened 100% applesauce.
What do you think?? I am just not sure
if regular fruit in the can like peaches
and pairs will contain too much sugar for
her?

The mashed fruit that u give them is way
better and as far as I know its fine to
give it to them. I was watching a show
just this morning that said at about 6
months they should be starting to explore
the world of food, and my cousin and a
heap of my friends all give their kids
mashed fruit for morning t and stuff like
that.

Thats awesome. I mean yes we can afford
to keep buying the small jars, but it
seems pointless to me when I can grind up
a whole can of peaches which fills about 6
small baby food jars. That is what I
do...I save the baby food jars. And now
when I grind up some fruit I put them in
the jars. Works out wondeful. And do
you think I should give her regular
applesauce or should it be unsweetened?

Sara, sean is 10 months old and you know
what baby's love!! Those dole fruit cups.
With the fruit surrounded by gel!! They
love it. I think it is ok if you do the
fruit, I do. I hate buying the jar stuff
plus he doesnt like it as much. How did
the real cup thing work out for you? I
would try the regular applesause, but only
a little bit to see how her bowels do!!
Keep me posted!!

Real fruit is fine. My friends mom only
used real fruit. She never once gave her
anything from the jar. All she did was
boil everything she wanted, fruits or
veggies and once they were soft, she
mashed them and saved the extras. And she
said it was healthier for the baby. I
think ill take the lazy way and just buy
it but she should be fine. Just start the
servings out small.
