Brittney,
do you give him stuff he can pick up with his fingers and chomp? My kids all hated the blended texture, eating off a spoon, but loved to pick things up themselves. I gave one a pear at about 9 months, and she downed the whole thing scrap...

I say no way and definatly not for children and babies.
thanks guys i really appreciate the replys!
In many parts of the world where eggs are eaten, raw egg yolk is commonly a first food for babies. Most babies start to become interested in food at around 7-9 months, because they need the nutrition from food in addition to breast milk. A lot of ...
p.s. your babe is beautiful!!
my guess is that if you put it in front of him, he wouldn't be attracted to it or want to eat it...
he's prbly like some fruit tho,
just my thought...
for a second there, i read, 'raw egg yolk from a baby' and thought, seems kinda cruel, but i wanna keep an open mind here...

Raw egg yolk for baby?
What do you guys think? My son is soon to be 9mo. and is still only breastfeed. I let him try other raw foods but im not forceing the issue. He dosent seem to want anything to eat and its really not a problem but I heard their iron starts depleating at 6mo. Tell me something:)

"The Vampire Disease"
Has anyone heard of porphyria? I just learned of it. Apparantly they are into raw organic foods because they cant handle the toxins in other foods. Some cant handle any sun or even lights above 40wts. There are different levels of severity and can be very debilitating. I really feel for them i wish there was somthing i could do.

QUESTIONS!
Ok, this is my first time doing this so I hope im doing it right. I am very serious about keeping my baby ( his name is britton and he is 5mo. old) raw as long as I have control over it. So my first question is does anyone have any experience in that field...maby be able to tell me when I can start incorporating avacado or bananas into breastmilk? Next is how can politely handle all the comments im getting for doing this. Right now I am just saying "ah ha your right maby I should mix rice in his… Continue

- yes i totally agree, 100% raw is hard when nursing. i may have went one fulll day but yesterday we had my father in laws 60th n i was bad lol. i usually eat shakes n salads all day as well with nuts n raisins to snack on, my fav raw dessert is date nut rolls...mmm i snack on these all day!! my husband will NEVER go raw but he supports it and has purchased all the appliances for me to do it, i just needta b strong and go for it because it is a much healthier lifestyle and i do nothing but read books on it. as for kids, i dont push it too much on mine yet, especially with a 4 n 5 yr old who are used to eating a certain way. but i make cookies n treats n crackers in the dehydrator and have them try them out and i stick to what they like to begin them on that pathway. i will feed the twins raw baby food that i will make in my vitamix. i have been high raw for over 2 months now with a little bit of cooked food and need to take that extra stride to be 100%. i just need to find a good juice to make in my juicer. i tried one the other night that someone reccomended to me n started to gag!! but i know that it is super healthy to juice so i plan to make that a priority ...and for my kids as well. beautiful baby boy! anymore pictures?

Bethany said… - That's awesome that you had your baby naturally!
I agree, it's not just the younger people that have their heads stuck in the sand. I think women, in general, have been supressed in our society (especially in obstetrics) and we've come to the point where we don't know how powerful we are, or that we have choices. I think a wake up call is in order =).
I would love to help your area but the area I live in needs as much alternative thinking as it can get!
NE Tennessee? Is that near where Ina May Gaskin's community is?

Kelly said… - Hi Brittney! He is my first. I just discovered this site this week. So much great info! I noticed you and I have similar questions. I have been exclusively breastfeeding and my family is telling me to start giving him rice cereal soon. He is only 14 weeks and already 17 pounds so breastmilk sounds like it is doing just fine for him! But when I introduce solids, I want to do fruits and/or veggies.
Anyway, I am really enjoying being a mom too! I actually used to live in TN. I went to UT Knoxville my first 2 yrs of college. I am glad to meet someone else with a new little one who is interested in raw food. So much fun to learn!

- Hi Brittney!
Glad to hear from you! I would love for you to take a class one day. It would be fantastic! Maybe when you have the opportunity you can take a few classes and than come back to TN and start teaching classes there! You seem like the perfect person to start something...hmmm..any thoughts?
There are countless possibilities!
You know I was in McMinnville, TN this past October through December. I was in the mountains in TN, have you hear of a town called McMinnville?

awesome, I want to do teacher training one day
my magic bullet burnt out, it was good for travelling while I had it though. Can you get a second hand blender? The cheaper ones I have used don't chop up the greens as well. Try to get something with a higher wattage, like 1000watt.
Mountain rose herbs has the green leaf stevia powder in bulk for a very good price.

Yes I agree.

There are so many unique people, with their own ways of eating.
Vegan, Vegetarian, Lacto-Vegetarian, Ova-Vegetarian, Fruititarian and Raw foodist are some of the many labels people define themselves or others.

"Fashionista's" simply look at Fashion as an Art, their own bodies as the canvas, and the sense of style they develop along the way is simply the masterpiece.
