Poll: What was the first real food your DC had?
We got the go ahead to try real food (stage 1 of course) with Gabe. I bought pears last night since he likes pear juice and he seems to enjoy them. What was the first real food your DC tried? I noticed there were not many options for stage 1 but it sure beats formula all the time.[Poll]

Other. E.'s first food was sweet potatoes and she loved them!
FWIW, it's super super easy and inexpensive to make your own baby food. No preservatives, all natural, and fresh. My friend told me she did it and I admit I thought it was too "Martha Stewart" for me but I promise, it's easy!
You can mash up a banana or avocado w/o cooking them. Add a bit of formula/milk if it's too thick. Sweet potatoes are easy too. Cook three of them in the oven, puree them in a food processor, and freeze them in individual servings in ice cube trays. You'll have about 30 servings of sweet potato and you won't need to buy any jars of food. I did different fruits and veggies using the same method. When the baby gets older, you can just puree whatever you're having for dinner and freeze the extra.
There was a great website for homemade baby food but I deleted my bookmark.
I'm sure a google search could find it.
