Hi,
I never really liked them for the same reason as Dena, but they really are
great for teething. We use frozen banana for teething because banana has a
natural sedative in it that helps the pain, and the kids both love bananas.

>> Miranda,

>> fruit or cooked veggie, cereal... Oh and the Gerber puffs. I started
>> some of those around 6 months and she started feeding herself those at 7
>> months, so she did have those quite a bit before 9 months. But she was

>> food, I just felt like I wasted a lot of it if he didn't finish the whole
>> jar, or if he didn't like the food, whereas if I made my own I could try
>> pureeing just a little bit and not waste a bunch of it. I also used tips
