[blparent] labeling baby food jars?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Sabrina.  I found it way too labor-intensive and time-consuming to label 
my baby food jars.  Since there were a limited amount of foods, especially 
starting out when it was all plain fruits and veggies, I just separated the 
jars into two groups, fruit and vegetables.  That way, I could serve one 
from each group in a given day.  As the foods got more complex, I took a 
flat box like the one you get sodas in, and lined up the food in rows, then 
just labeled the front of the box.  That way I knew that squash and rice was 
behind the SQR label.  It wasn't foolproof--now and then I opened something 
unexpected--but Sarah didn't seem to care.  She didn't like a lot of the 
foods with meat added anyway, so as the choices of what she could eat got 
more rounded out, I didn't use the baby food as much anymore.  I hope this 
helps and that the explanation makes sense.  I'm having a migraine right 
now, which makes it hard to think straight.

Good luck!
Jo Elizabeth
