Here are a few key points to remember when Making Homemade Baby Food and Introducing Solid Foods!
ALWAYS consult your pediatrician prior to beginning any new food for your infant. Discuss making homemade baby food with your pediatrician and visit our Baby Solid Food Charts for information regarding what foods to introduce to baby and when. You may also wish to visit the World Health Organisation, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Health Canada, Health Insite - Australia and the Department of Public Health (U.K.) to learn more about baby food and infant feeding.
ALWAYS follow the 4 day wait rule when introducing a new food to baby - offer your baby the same new food for 4 days to test for allergies to that food. This applies even when you are making homemade baby food! Never introduce more than 1 new food at a time.
The "4 day wait rule" is a good practice to follow. It helps pinpoint allergic reactions and to pinpoint any digestive issues a new baby food may cause! Allergic reactions typically will occur within the first 24 hours. Digestive issues with new foods may take longer to appear. Once you have introduced several new foods without a reaction, you can then begin to mix them together as you wish.
ALWAYS use clean hands, clean cooking utensils, preparation surface(s), pots/pans etc when making and and preparing homemade baby food. Cleanliness and Food Safety is a MUST when making homemade baby food!
And Finally - All babies are different and will not like/tolerate the same foods or food textures! Do Not Despair! You should be willing to experiment with baby solid food for your baby. Offer your baby different foods, use different ways of preparing those baby foods and be willing to have a huge store of patience!
