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.
