I made Natalie`s baby food, she didn`t care for the jar stuff from the store. At 9 months she wanted to finger feed and she had 6 teeth so we didn`t worry about the jar stuff.

my son just refused to eat anything pureed one day when he was about 10 months old- even yogurt! So I just ended up cutting up things small and anything can be finger food as long as you are prepared to clean up a mess! Breakfast was often cheerios and banana. Lunch: bread with melted cheese or liver sausage, chopped up strawberries, grapes or oranges (or some kind of fruit). Snacks were baby cereal bisquits. Dinner: chopped meat, rice or pasta, and often mixed frozen veggies- as they were perfect to serve little people- all pre cut! He still prefers eating those veggies to most other things. He also liked sucking on steamed broccoli and soft cooked carrots.

between 12-15 months my son didn`t want jar baby food anymore.

I stopped feeding my DS jarred food when he started on table foods at 8 months old because he just plain refused to eat any foods at all that were jarred.

My son hunter loved stage three earths best til he was about 16 months old. and the fruit was great too ~ (I personally still eat pears and peaches and so do my older two boys aged 14 and 9 ~ its no different then apple sauce IMO) I see nothing wrong with it. It is healthier then some table foods IMO ~ as long as he can chew and manage other table foods I say do it as long as he prefers it ~ food is food as long as it is nutritional :) Stage 3 is chunky too like table foods so really not much different ~

My son would not eat veggies, so the only way to get them in him was with jarred veggies-I would always cooked veggies with his dinner in hopes he would eat it- he finally started taking a liking to them at around 18 months- so he ate jarred veggies up until then- on occasion, I will still give him jarred veggies if I am in a bind- I prefer he gets some vitamins, then none

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
