How I Introduce Foods & Sweet Potatoes

I start feeding with rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. After that, I switch off between a vegetable and a fruit every three or four days. I started both of my girls with sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are really easy and yield a ton of food. I just bake the sweet potatoes like you would normally (oven at 325 until soft), and then peel off the skins and put them in a blender with some filtered water until they are the right consistency. A lot of times I don't water them down completely because I can always add more water later. You could also use breast milk or formula, but I just like using the water. If I know I won't be able to use them all in a couple days, I freeze them in some special baby food ice trays I bought that have lids and then pop out the cubes and put them in ziploc baggies.
