My niece was 8 months over Thanksgiving I went as far as to puree the turkey I cooked. Never pureed meat before..it was wierd. Thanksgiving was her first time with meat and the poor thing gagged the biggest gag we've ever seen. I did Sweet potato too, she loved those. She's been a yogurt kid from the pediatricians ok, she's a dairy kid. For a little while if it didn't have a cheese sauce she didn't care! My sister used Yobaby and kiddo loves the smoothies now too.

I'm hoping to do as much homemade as I can with our kids.

Doing homemade is really easy once you get a "system" down, at least I think so. Course my "system" also included buy a new freezer. We needed it anyway though Our daycare makes the food he eats there too, so it encourages me. She did it for all 11 of her kids

Sweet potato was Ty's first food. He still loves it! That's why I'm wondering about beets. They are both roots, and sorta starchy. I guess maybe beets are just harder on the stomach so some books say to wait maybe?

I haven't done any pureed meat! A good friend spent the day making a tiny organic beef stew...little tiny onion, some carrot, some organic beef, pureed it all...he son gagged and gagged and would NOT eat it...she was so ticked
