Baby Of The Month - Previous Winners

Ayden, 7 months - from Lake Orion, MI USA

We both really enjoy the bonding time when he is drinking his formula. But he does love to play with the water in his big boy sippy cup!

I'm really having fun making his food. It really means a lot to us that I feed him all natural. I have learned so much about food in general by doing this. Thanks so much for all the help and advice!

I'll do anything for my little pumpkin! I Love You Ayden!!

Benjamin, 9 months - from Toronto, ON Canada

I love making his food and as my husband says "our freezer shows it".

I found that mixtures like carrots and pears or avocado and bananas are the biggest sellers. Ben really LOVES yogurt, most veggies, and all fruits except avocados on their own and I love watching him try new stuff - he makes hilarious faces.

We just started chicken - who knew food could be this much fun!!

Chelsea-Louise, 7 months - from Warrington, England

Chelsea was happy with her formula milk until she was 6 months old ! I was so nervous at introducing food to her, because I hadn't had any experience. I didn't know whether I was doing it right. But when she finally opened her mouth for the spoon she enjoyed it and it went well.

She has just turned 7 months, so has only had pureed food that I have made, such as carrots (mushed) and mash, with apple and pear afterwards.

Because i felt as though I was giving her the same foods everyday - and wanted her to taste different things - I also bought some jarred food to make her weaning more tasteful for her. But now that she is 7 months I am going to start introducing lumps in to the food and - again - I am doubting myself. But I think as we have got this far with weaning, we can go to the next step.

I find that, up to now, she loves carrots but dislikes mash. I am going to carry on trying her with it, because I was told that babies' taste buds can change - so hopefully she will eventually take to mash too!!

I have also found that she loves yoghurts (Petit Filous)!

Also, she does not like any drinks apart from her formula milk. I keep trying every day. I have tried boiled water - baby bottled water with flavouring and also tried non sweetened diluted juices, but she doesnt seem to like any . I will keep trying!

She loves making a mess and finding things to get her hands into - little cheeky monkey .

Chelsea-Louise you are my Sun, my Air, my Light, my Life. I love you!!

Shanay, 1 year - from Dubai, UAE

Shanay is your typical 1 year old, extremely active and inquisitive... always on the lookout for something new. His inquisitiveness is also extended to trying out new food items and is always more interested in what's on our plates rather than his own.

Shanay starts his day in the morning with a bottle of milk, then has fruits for breakfast. He loves bananas, apples, pear, pappaya, grapes , sweet potato and especially watermelon.

Then he has a wholesome lunch of rice, veggies , legumes and yoghurt. Dinner is also more or less the same, with a snack of bread-butter or cheese or porridge in evening. Shanay loves to eat fruit flavoured yoghurt for dessert and just loves juices. He can drink any juice.

Shanay has always had homemade food and, though I am a working mother, I make sure his babysitter has enough food for the day, before I leave for the office. Thanks to your website I never run out of recipe ideas for him!

Shanay is a blessing and has added magic to our lives.
