The pediatrician told me I can start weaning Dylan any time I want. She told me to make my own vegetable broth with one carrot, one potato and one zucchini for use in the "prima pappa" (first meal). The first meal consists of rice cereal with a spoonful of vegetable broth, parmesan cheese and extra-virgin olive oil. Molto italiano, no? After five days, I'm to add meat to that. Being vegan myself (and NO I'm not raising Dylan vegan - are you happy, carnivores?), I really don't see myself throwing animal carcasses into my fantastic baby food maker. Especially because I was told to start Dylan on either horse, rabbit or turkey. Horse? Rabbit? Gross. I've been shopping around for some nice healthy (and meaty) baby foods, and I've noticed they let it "all hang out" on the packaging. The horse and rabbit baby food packages make you want to ride a pony or cuddle a bunny - not eat either one. Check them out:

my fav is platessa. Cute little fish with 2 eyes on the same side of their heads. Hey i found some more info on weanign, will send it to you (surprise surprise totally diff to the italian stuff). vanessa
I saw "platessa" in the grocery store. I just looked it up and it's a "large European flounder." Not being a fish eater, I don't know my fishy names. Looks like kind of a blowfish on the package. Thanks for the weaning info. For now we are still doing little tastes here and there. Today apples!
