My son is 5 months old, and i'm so overprotective of what he eats.
He has never eaten jarred baby food. I use my own homemade baby food recipes.
These are a few things I feed him often(all made from scratch):
Banana Puree, Apple Sauce, Strawberry Yogurt, Carrot Puree, Sweet Potato Puree, Oatmeal, Organic Brown Rice Cereal, Pea puree, Hard boiled egg whites, Etc.
He is at a healthy weight, and the pediatrician says he is fine but I want to get an idea of when other parents start feeding their children meat, and other "heavier" foods. I just want to start adding foods to his diet slowly because I want him to be able to digest it well.
I also would like some opinions (If you're going to be rude, don't bother to answer) on my parenting skills. Do you think i'm too overprotective?
I mean, I just want my son to be healthy. I don't like the idea of feeding him jarred, processed, foods with chemicals (preservatives, etc) and I struggle to make him food many times per day.
