making baby food 7 month old image
~September
I just started my 7 month old on baby food, and she isn't eating much at all, not liking it. So I always have alot left, and I'm unsure how long I can keep it in the fridge and feed her leftovers. Any ideas or advice would be so helpful!
Thanks so much!
Answer
If you feed from the jar you shouldn't reuse it because of bacterial growth and the saliva braking down the food and making it watery.
If you feed from a bowl
Meat is 2 days
fruit & vegetables is 3-4 days
This is what it says on the jars I have.

Why do they put allergenic foods in baby food?

I am trying to keep allergenic foods away from my 7 month old daughter, as I've read there are many foods she shouldn't have until her first birthday. Why then do baby food companies put strawberries, egg whites, citrus, and milk products in baby foods if babies aren't supposed to eat them?
Answer
Firstly baby food companies have only one person's interests at heart: their shareholders. If they really cared about babies they wouldn't break the law (in Canada and other places) and advertise baby food for babies under 6 months of age, they wouldn't add fillers to cereal, or annatto to foods. In fact there wouldn't be any "infant" cereal on the market at all and probably no pureed foods.
Secondly there is no agreement about withholding foods any longer than 6 months. There is really no good evidence that it prevents allergies, or any agreement as to which foods should be avoided.

Dr. David Ludwig of Children's Hospital Boston, a specialist in pediatric nutrition, says some studies suggest rice and other highly processed grain cereals actually could be among the worst foods for infants.
"These foods are in a certain sense no different from adding sugar to formula. They digest very rapidly in the body into sugar, raising blood sugar and insulin levels" and could contribute to later health problems, including obesity, he says.
The lack of variety in the American approach also could be a problem. Exposing infants to more foods may help them adapt to different foods later, which Ludwig says may be key to getting older children to eat healthier.
Food allergy fears get some of the blame for the bland approach. For decades doctors have said the best way to prevent allergies is to limit infants to bland foods, avoiding seasonings, citrus, nuts and certain seafood.
But Butte's review found no evidence that children without family histories of food allergies benefit from this. Others suspect avoiding certain foods or eating bland diets actually could make allergies more likely. Some exposure might be a good thing.
And bring on the spices. Science is catching up with the folklore that babies in the womb and those who are breast-fed taste â and develop a taste for â whatever Mom eats. So experts say if Mom enjoys loads of oregano, baby might, too.

The prevalence of peanut allergy was 1.85 percent among the U.K. students and 0.17 percent among the Israeli children, said the study, which also found that 69 percent of Israeli children were eating peanuts at nine months of age, compared to only 10 percent of the British children.
"The most obvious difference in the diet of infants in both populations occurs in the introduction of peanut," wrote lead author Dr. George Du Toit and colleagues. But they cautioned that more research is needed before the U.K. and other countries change their guidelines that advise avoidance of peanut consumption during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infancy.

From these observations and her own studies she developed her feeding programme, called Baby-Led Weaning.
According to this programme, during the first six months babies should receive milk only.
She said: "In 2002 the World Health Organisation backed research that found breast or formula milk provided all the nutrition a baby needs up to the age of six months.
"That research said feeding a baby any other food during the first six months would dilute the nutritional value of the milk and might even be harmful to the baby's health."
These findings have been incorporated into government recommendations on baby feeding.

Finally, respect the tiny, still-developing digestive system of your infant. Babies have limited enzyme production, which is necessary for the digestion of foods. In fact, it takes up to 28 months, just around the time when molar teeth are fully developed, for the big-gun carbohydrate enzymes (namely amylase) to fully kick into gear. Foods like cereals, grains and breads are very challenging for little ones to digest. Thus, these foods should be some of the last to be introduced. (One carbohydrate enzyme a baby's small intestine does produce is lactase, for the digestion of lactose in milk.1)

Babies do produce functional enzymes (pepsin and proteolytic enzymes) and digestive juices (hydrochloric acid in the stomach) that work on proteins and fats.12 This makes perfect sense since the milk from a healthy mother has 50-60 percent of its energy as fat, which is critical for growth, energy and development.13 In addition, the cholesterol in human milk supplies an infant with close to six times the amount most adults consume from food.13 In some cultures, a new mother is encouraged to eat six to ten eggs a day and almost ten ounces of chicken and pork for at least a month after birth. This fat-rich diet ensures her breast milk will contain adequate healthy fats.14
Thus, a baby's earliest solid foods should be mostly animal foods since his digestive system, although immature, is better equipped to supply enzymes for digestion of fats an
