Jon & Kathy

I have been thinking about how and what we will feed our baby in the future. Jon and I both agree that when it is time for more solid foods that we want to cook our own food and not feed out of baby jars.

So, then I got to wonder what the hell were newborns eating before formula? I asked Jon’s grandmother ”Gammy” what they used to feed the kids and she couldn’t really remember, all she said was it used to come in a can……i think it might have been formula already!
Then I asked my mother what they used to feed us in Poland, mom said that they had something like formula but my sister Sylwia couldn’t drink it because she was screaming for more food the first two weeks of her life! Finally, mom made her own baby food, here is what she used: powdered milk, water and a very small amount of corn flour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made it here for me with regular flour and fresh milk and it was delicious.

Now, this has me thinking about the fact that I might not be able to breast feed or only for a short time. So I’m doing some research and found someone else’s blog that was interesting. Check it out if you want.
