First Foods: Sweet Potato

From a list of  Avocado, Squash, Banana, Sweet Potato, Peas, Zucchini, Pear, Apple, and Brown Rice Cereal, I chose Sweet Potato for my son's first food. My reasoning for this...I had three sweet potatoes in my pantry.

I made a puree by blending one cooked sweet potato with 1 cup of water. I used my Baby Bullet, but a food processor or a blender would work fine.

Our son had just turned five months when we gave him food for the first time. We waited until five months as my family has a lot of food allergy history. Ethan took his first bite and grabbed my hand wanting more. He loves sweet potatoes. We gave him sweet potatoes for a week, and he has had no allergic reaction to them.

Our next food...Avocado!
