Babies First Foods

My youngest son was exclusively breastfed until he turned 1! For his first 5mos of eating it was only avocados mixed with a few drops of coconut oil and breastmilk and bananas. 


Him was always so juicy! Him has always been big for his age. He was ready to eat his avocado(lol the pic with the bite mark!).


The benefits of avocados as a first food is an ideal for babies especially due to its high concentration of healthy monounsaturated fats,which are essential for brain development and energy. Its creamy texture is easy to swallow and digest, while its nutrient density including potassium, fiber, and vitamins E and K supports overall growth. 


It is also low-allergy,sugar-free, and requires no cooking. Here are a few important facts to consider this simple fruit for babies👶🏽…


  • Brain and Physical Growth: The healthy fat composition is similar to that of breast milk, promoting healthy brain development and providing high-calorie nutrition needed for small stomachs.
  • Rich in Nutrients: Avocados provide fiber for digestion, along with vitamins C, E, K, B6, and Folate, which support immune function and iron absorption.
  • Perfect Texture: Its soft, buttery texture is ideal for babies learning to eat, as it can be easily mashed for spoon-feeding or served in chunks for baby-led weaning.
  • Gentle on Tummies: It is highly digestible and rarely causes allergic reactions, making it a safe choice for early solids.

Lol he couldn’t wait to enjoy his avocado he took a bite right out of it🤣…

Sweet Taters and Birthing

I know there’s a lot of things posted on social media that make ya go 🤔 hmmmm lol. However not all of it is hogwash lol. This here is true and factual! Our Ancestors didn’t have all the bells and whistles however one thang they did know how to do,is do things naturally and holistically! 


This here is one of those thangs. 

I’m always promoting dates to help with birthing but did you know sweet potatoes have a similar effect. Yeppers good o’l taters. 


I was in labor at home with Masai's Fresh Garden Eats from Dirt to Dish/Holistic Living Made Easy for 17 1/2 hrs and this is the exact dish I cooked with homemade challah for me and my birthing team. 


I had a smoothie of dates and taters as my pain medication. Now I’m not saying it’s the go to for er’body. However it’s a tried and true method for me and many birthing Ancestors before😉…
