I found One Dollar Diet Project after I watched a video about it on the Yahoo homepage. It chronicles the experiment of two high school teachers living on $1 worth of food or less (each) a day. This intrigued me, having been in “buy food or pay rent” situations before. While I hope not be in that situation ever again I enjoyed reading about their trials and tribulations and applaud their determination to stick to their budget and it opened my eyes to the plight of millions (maybe billions) of people in the world…do I
really need that Super Sized Whopper Combo? I think not.

Starting With Solids

I thought I’d post a few helpful hints on solids that I’ve been reading as we are beginning this new stage.
Wait until baby is ready. Though people seem to be starting earlier and earlier, much research shows that waiting until around six months is a good idea because of the maturation of enzymes and the baby’s ability to coordinate tongue and swallowing movements.
Choose an ideal time for the first feeding. Since the first food will really be an addition, not substitute, for formula or breastmilk, don’t feel that it has to be a meal time. Choose a time where baby is happy and or hungry.
Forget the spoon and try your finger. Baby will be used to your finger being in his or her mouth, so think about letting him eat from your finger rather than introducing two new things–food and spoon at first.
Limit one food at a time. To keep an eye out for allergic reactions, keep to one food for four or more days before starting another. Consider keeping a food log of what baby eats, when, and his or her reaction.
