Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hi everyone, I have just joined this list and thought I'd introduce myself! I live in NYC, and have a 10 month old baby boy. I am starting to think about what kinds of foods he should eat (he has been mostly breastfed until now -- quite fussy about what kinds of solids he will eat). He has started losing weight. Thankfully, it is not really a problem for him because he has always been quite chubby and now he is walking everywhere (!), but nonetheless we want to make sure that he is getting the right kinds of nutrition. I am giving him various veggies and fruit and also -- so far -- trying yogurt, cheese, and beans as protein sources... with mixed success! Any suggestions? Also, my husband (not vegetarian, but happy to eat vegetarian at home) and I have not really discussed how we are going to raise Ben. We both think that he should be able to choose himself, but I feel that -- until that time-- he should not have any meat. My husband thinks that he should try meat so he knows what he's choosing not to have!! And my mother says he should try meat becuase if he's anything like me if he's not allowed something he'll just wnat it more! Part of me feels that I can't control what goes on when we're not home or he's with his extended family (none of whom is vegetarian, although my mum cooked veggie for us when we were growing up). But I also get annoyed with people asking when he can start eating meat! How do you all handle these situations? Looking forward to getting to know you all!
