Welcome to Madeline Likes It!


I am a new mom who is navigating the world of what to feed my baby. I have been making her food, mostly fresh, organic fruits and vegetables from our local farmer's market, since she started solids at 6 months. But because it is fast, cheap, easy and still tasty I have also used frozen fruits and veggies. I taste everything I make for her and if it doesn't taste good to me I don't serve it to her. She is only 8 months old and the variety of foods she can eat has just recently expanded to include many more interesting fruits and veggies but not yet meat, or dairy.
I have mostly been using this website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/
as a guide for what foods to introduce and when to introduce them. It has been a joy for me to see Madeline's excitement every time she eats a food that she likes. And she definitely lets you know when she likes something! Foods that she thinks are delicious are followed by a "mmmm, mmmm, mmmm" after every bite. Foods that she does not like get the "what is this crap you are serving me?" face. There have not been many foods that she has not liked so far. We are just beginning this whole eating adventure and it is my hypothesis that if I start her off now with good, healthy, fresh food it will translate to a life-long love.
