Thankfully more new moms are breast feeding and skipping the formula and baby food. There’s an entire movement and social media has helped it. My daughter never feed baby any store bought baby food, formula or rice cereal. She had real food from about four months. She does get snack protein bars made from fruit and other plants but mostly real food. I’ll agree to disagree on we need sugar to survive. I’ve researched carnivore diet over the past year and it’s best for me. My main issue with sugar stems from the way I was raised. I grew up in the 70s. My mom said I’d dance for a Pepsi, had it in my bottle. We always had Pepsi and every processed food available. Other than my grandma cooking real food and eating at her house most evenings my diet consisted of junk, even frozen meals. It’s taken my entire life to figure out it was killing me. I don’t blame anyone, I’m an adult and should have realized sooner. However most of America still eats this way. Hopefully we will have a huge awakening concerning our diet in America.
One of my older relatives asked if we were going to feed our child rice cereal and we politely said the child was eating semi solids at that point and didn’t need it. We too chose to exclusively nurse until the child showed interest in the foods we were eating. We have always just given them a small portion of our food, skipping purées and “baby food” almost altogether. There is a positive in sharing parenting through social media in this season of life.
That’s great! I wish I had been better educated back then. In 1992 there wasn’t much information unless you knew health gurus or hippies. Thankfully my daughter was and is healthy. I breastfed six weeks until the milk dried. Then it was formula, rice cereal and then gerber baby food. At least it wasn’t as many toxins back then.
