Baby Solid Food

It is really rewarding not to mention cheaper than store bought jars to make your baby fresh homemade food. Migi started his solids when he was 6 months old. We usually give him one variant for one week (example one week of mash potatoes or carrots). What I've noticed is that come weekeneds he has this expression in his face and if only he could talk I think he will say "What Mommee!!, Mash potatoes again!!!". It is also easier to plan and buy in bulk. His pediatrician recommended that if a baby will start solids, parents must give babies the same food for at least 4 days to easily see if he will developed any allergies. Migi already tried the following food: Mash Potatoes, Carrots, Porridge, Avocado, Mango, Banana, Melons.
Now that Migi will be turning 8 months tomorrow. I think its time to plan his menu like we do for the family. Of course, if I were to be given mash potatoes everyday for 1 week, I would definitely complain.
