First bites

Being a mom of a preemie, I am constantly worried that the little guy is getting enough milk, food, calories. Our Dr. wasn't a fan of rice cereal so we decided to jump right into the fruits and veggies for baby's first food. For its creamy texture and high fat content, we chose avocado for his first taste. He couldn't get enough of it - I blended it with some BM and he took right to it. The next week, we moved on to sweet potatoes, steamed and mixed with BM. I read that steamed was he best way to prepare baby foods as it maintains the nutrients.
