I'm kinda going thru the same thing. Hubby wants to give our daughter tastes of everything, cuz she watches us eat very intently. I gently remind him that baby's tummy can't digest the proteins yet and that things with eggs or tomatoes can cause allergic reactions, not to mention salmonella or other bacterias that can be harmful to new tummies. Tiny tastes of certain foods I've accepted, as you can tell if they have a reaction from trace amounts. He's learning cuz I explain it to him and make him read articles. He now understands that certain foods can be harmful right now.

Fiancee, please read what Fiona posted. This is fact! There is also the issue that you can cause your child to have allergies by feeding them real foods too soon, avoid completely Honey, Peanut Butter & Cows Milk, these can be unsafe for your baby.
There is also the issue that alot of real foods can cause your child to choke.

I think thats enough said! :)

My sons doctor says you can't even feed them baby food like veggies and apple sauce till they're 6 months. Only the baby rice till the child is 6 months then you can give them the second foods. I've been told to start them off with veggies first or you can cause a sweet tooth. And to feed them one food item for a week to check for allergies. I hope that makes sense. Sorry if that don't help. I hope it does.

babies intestines can't handle it. you will stretch stomach and intestines, as well as causing digestion and constipation issues you will end up with a child with far too large a stomach for their age, creating an obese child before the baby even gets a choice in what they eat. Are you trying to be deliberatly cruel to the baby?





Tell him to read that :)
