I’ve been doing some reading for Alejna and Holly of the Just Posts, and I’m so glad they sent me this one. I’m sorry I missed it first time around. I love this. For so many reasons, on so many levels. Thank you.

As someone who reaches for food first, instead of sleep when tired and instead of people when lonely, I really identify with the desire for healty food relationships for my children. You have written about it beautifully (as usual).

My older boy had colic with dairy sensitivity. I was able to stop limiting my own dairy at about 9mos without problems in him and continued nursing parttime until he was 2. He tolerated yogurt at 1 year and all dairy later (when I felt safe to try it around 18mos). I hear from pediatrician friends that this is the usual pattern (tolerance for dairy despite intolerance when very young).

Beware – most baby cereals have dairy in them in the form of formula. Pick ones that say “add formula or breast milk.” I have found these difficult to find…

First, I can’t believe she’s eating solids already. Did you just have her, like, a nanosecond ago?

Second, I often think about my own relationship to food and how that influences my children and their choices. My husband wants to know why all the kids insist on chocolate chips in baked goods when he is such a raisin nut. I would raise my hand but it’s covered in melted chocolate smudges.

Loved this post, bon.

I think this is the best first-food post I’ve ever read. (And I love “i am her walking cheeseburger, her magically reappearing smorgasbord.”) I can’t believe how big she is getting!

See, I’m not so introspective, most days. Beautiful post, though. And if I let myself think about food and the politics around it, I have a lot of these same fears and worries.

Both James and Isaac started on rice cereal and about a week later proclaimed their disgust and loathing of rice cereal, and demanded steak. We compromised with sweet potatoes, carrots, mushy peas, squash. Avocados are a huge favourite with James. And I don’t stint on fruit, to be honest – it hasn’t seemed to cause any problems with either one of them.

I hope to that the puking was just teething. It probably was. Or just the unfamiliarity of solids. I know that James in particular started spitting up again a lot when we put him on solids, until he got used to it.

I still love teh fact tat food is such an important part of my life and I try and instil that in my children. I am grateful that i haven’t had body issues to an serious degree other than knowing that eating too many cream puffs = a few extra pounds so maybe only eating one. I am horrified that my daughter already comes home from school at age 5 saying that X said Y was too fat.

Baby rice is vile – get that lovely Posie on to the good stuff soon!
