It is so easy to transition infants to whole foods that we never even bothered with cereals or jarred baby food. They went straight from breast milk to sweet potatoes, Matzo Brai, avocados, etc. now the Peas Twins are 15 and have excellent diets with very few things they won’t eat. Unless you’re specifically trying to supplement for a missing nutrient or deficiency, I never understood this. Of course, some mothers have difficulty breastfeeding or supply problems, so I know this can be a supplemental need (we did supplement formula for the Littlest Pea for that very reason), but if a baby doesn’t need processed foods, why even introduce them?
Edited because I meant whole foods, not Whole Foods.
