My son at just about 4 months eating his first food- organic carrots 
Question: Avocado for first baby food?
My son will be 6 months in 5 days. Yesterday I gave him a little bit of avocado for his first solid. I took a cute picture of him eating it and afterwards posted it on my facebook. The caption of the pictures was “Mason enjoying avocado as his first food”. My sister immediately left a comment freaking out on me saying “are you being serious?? you really fed him avocado??? please tell me your kidding. that is weird. what ever happened to peaches?” Anyway, I was so embarassed by her response that I deleted the comment immediately.
So my question is, is avocado not a common food to feed infants? I enjoy it and I know it contains many beneficial nutrients. I have done so much studying up on when to start infants on solids and what to start them on and avocado seemed to be a great first food. Has anyone else who has fed their baby avocado received weird comments about it? Am I seriously strange for feeding this to my son?
Wow “mom” you are one rude b*tch.

Question: When did your baby say his first “sentence”?
My 13 month old son has always been a chatty one even if it’s in his own language. He has a name for most of his favorite stuff e.g. “num num” means good food, “hem” means breast milk and I am “mum mum” for him. This past Saturday he said his first “sentence” which is really a command. He was playing with his “baba” (dad) when he looks at me and says “mum hem”. We were so surprised to hear it but then he repeated himself and planted himself on my lap. It was so precious and funny. Has you baby said his first sentence yet? If so then what is it?

My middle child, a daughter, was quite verbal. She was born in October and when she was around 17 months old (in February) we were working outside and she wanted to rake the lawn because the snow had melted – she clearly said “I can do it mine self!” – her Dad and I laughed – she was so little but didn’t want any help.
Question: Stupid first time mommy needs HELP!?
OK, I have an 8 month old son who is breastfed. He used to love solids until about 1 1/2 months ago he got sick and only wanted to nurse. After he got better he never really took back to solids and it’s been a constant battle to get him to eat anything other than breast milk. He has 7 teeth so I let him eat things like Gerber yogurt melts and puffs and cheerios but not very much. When he eats things like pears or apples he will suck on them and keep them tucked in his cheeks until it falls out, I dig it out or he sips some water or nurses and swallows it down. I (unfortunately) live with my parents right now and my mom is CONSTANTLY telling me I need to feed my son more because “He’s SO hungry”. She’s been doing this since he started solids and it drives me crazy. She will feed him yo baby (the only “baby food” he likes) and he’ll eat it all but then spit it all back up. I just don’t really feel like he’s ready for big boy foods yet but I’m not really sure WHEN he’ll be ready. My mom keeps saying he needs to start eating now because he needs it and he’ll learn how to swallow it later. I’m so frustrated!
Anyway, the main reason I’m so frustrated is because I’ve read two totally different approaches to feeding babies this age and I don’t know which one is right.
#1 – My mom’s approach – He needs to be eating everything I’m eating and the only things he shouldn’t have are the obvious things (peanut butter, honey, shellfish, etc.). He needs to be eating 3 square meals a day and only nursing at nap times and bedtimes.
#2 – The one I’m leaning more towards – He is still ONLY 8 months old and his main source of nutrition is still breast milk. Nurse on demand and supplement (if HE wants to) with solids. If he goes a day without eating anything but breast milk, no big deal! If he wants to eat my entire avocado sandwich and still nurse around the clock, great!
Which one is right? HELP please and thanks!

Question: Nutritional expert help?(NOT ASKING FOR”Exercise and no junk food!”ANSWER! Please read the first paragraph…)?
ATTENTION: I do NOT want answers saying “Excersise every day and drop McDonalds and you’ll lose weight in no time!” That is NOT what I’m asking! I am ALREADY doing those things and I ALREADY KNOW what I want to do to lose weight, my question is about helping me research what kinds of things I need to include to make it healthier, not these stupid SIMPLE answers that EVERYONE keeps giving me OVER AND OVER AGAIN that DON’T answer my question! If you have a short attention span, all I really want to make sure you know is in the LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS. Everything else is just details and you can skip if you want.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I’ve been overweight as long as I remember… I’m pretty sure my baby fat’s still here somewhere under all this annoying blubber… I’m a 15 year old girl at about 5’5″, and my weight tends to always go back to and/or stay at 200-205 pounds, no matter what I do. So it’s not so bad it’s life-threatening, but that doesn’t mean I like it either. I’ve tried lots of stuff but nothing ever worked for long.
Weight watchers was the closest I ever got to really losing weight, but I’m pretty sure my record for keeping it up is at just a little over a month. I started to consider why, because WW methods really do fit my personality, but I realized that the problem is even though they don’t make you eat special diet food, they do give you the freedom to eat whatever you want to long as you don’t surpass your points and get a certain amount of different food servings in. (I mean, they have special stuff but it’s optional.) Basically my problem is I enjoy eating too much and go overboard and abuse that. After a while I start estimating, “I’m sure this is around 3 or something…” but the thing that DID work for me was pretty much having a checklist of things I had to get in, and keeping up with that. It distracted me from wanting to eat all the time and kept me busy.
So… I wanted to take that aspect that worked for me and take it a step further. I want to decide on maybe one or two day’s worth of things to eat and keep repeating that for as long as I can. That way I can stop looking forward to eating, and overeating as a result, and focus more on other things and just eat because it’s essential. I want the same checklist every day so that I won’t be tempted to choose something bad because I “haven’t had it in a while”. It’ll take away the temptation if I know I don’t have that freedom. And I know there are diets where you tell the computer stuff you like and it makes plans for you, but that doesn’t work for me because the computer decides for me. I want to make my own restrictions, otherwise I’ll feel trapped by the computer and quit. No outside forces.
__________________________________________________________________________________
RANTING OVER. POINT NOW.
So anyway, here’s my question in a nutshell: I want to solve my problem of making eating a huge priority by having one or two checklists of the same things to eat every day. However, I know variety’s important, so if I were to eat the same food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday, or make two day plans and do them every other day, (THIS NEXT PART IS VERY IMPORTANT!) what are some things I should include because of their SPECIAL nutritional value? (besides the 2-3 cups milk a day, 6-7 servings vegetables a day, ect, those kind of things I obviously need… I mean like bananas for potassium or carrots for some kind of thing I’ve forgotten but heard is only in carrots?)
*Correction: the LAST paragraph ^ (singular) is really the only one that matters. Again, I AM NOT ASKING WHAT I CAN DO TO LOSE WEIGHT, I am asking what foods would be best for my health to eat were I to eat only them and a variety of other things during the span of a day, then repeat that day’s food plan every day for a long time. (I’m starting with 3 months)
