What is the best baby food that is good for baby teeth development?  Or does it really matter.  My daughter is still nursing but I like to hear what types of baby food is better to get.   Any advise.

My son has a full set of baby teeth and I have been trying to get him to eat from a high chair.  He will not eat off his own plate nor will he self feed.  He will eat if it is from my plate and only if I feed it to him.   He will not try anything on his own so what can I do to get him use to eating on is own in a high chair?  What food can I try?  His teeth are all in so I am thinking most food should be fine.

I have been thinking about making my own baby food for my boys to have.   I want to make sure that they are only eating very healthy foods and not processed baby food.   I would love to know where I can get some good baby food recipes.  Or if you have any tips on making baby food that would be great too.

Gene Linked to Food Allergy-Related Disorder – Scientists have linked a region of a human chromosome with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a recently recognized disorder that can cause difficulty eating and is associated with allergies to certain foods. They’ve also identified a gene that’s likely involved in the disorder.

EoE is characterized by inflammation and accumulation of a specific type of immune cell, called an eosinophil, in the esophagus. Symptoms of EoE vary with age. In young children, a major symptom is spitting up food. In older children and adults, the inflammation and swelling can cause food to become stuck in the esophagus. Symptoms may improve with a special liquid formula diet or a diet that lacks 6 highly allergenic foods: milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanut and seafood.

EoE differs from more common food allergies, which can have serious consequences as well. Little is known about what causes EoE, but the disease runs in families, suggesting that specific genes may be involved. Source: http://www.nih.gov/researchmatters/march2010/03152010allergy.htm

I will be having my son in a week or so.  My husband and I have been reading many books and took a few child classes.  Most of what I read and been told is that you need to nurse or feed your baby about every three hours.  Well okay but do you wake your baby up to feed or to you wait?  If you wait then it puts off the three hour mark.   Which is best to wait and feed your child when they wake up or to wake them up to feed?

What do you think ?  Organic baby food or regular baby food?

I am breast feeding my four month old son right now.  However, when I start to feed him food I am torn between just regular baby food and organic baby food.  Is organic baby food better the regular baby food?  We seem to really be going to the trend of organic eating but I am not shore if it is better or just more expensive.  Opinions please

My daughter will be one 1/29/10.  I still breast feed and she does take forumal at times too.  Besides baby cereal and bananas I really can not get her to eat too much more then that.  She is at a health weigh and her doctor says she is a very healthy baby.  All goods, but am I trying to feed her food too soon?  Or is there other food that I can try to see if will eat it?  Advise is welcome.
