What to feed baby.

Those little cans of baby food are so expensive. Here is a short list of much cheaper options that we fed our kids. I tried to list ones you might not have though of. But you all probably have-- you're all so smart.

Instant potato flakes, reconstituted

Canned pumpkin

Dried split peas, cooked and mushed

V-8 soup (V-8 and milk-- a favorite of Linus)

Apple sauce cups instead of babyfood applesauce

Rice cakes

Avocado chunks

Tortellini, cooked until really mushy

Banana mushed with tahini (which is sesame seed butter-- good protein)

Mandarin oranges

Scrambled eggs

Fruit smoothies

Toast strips
