YoBaby Love
Baby food stories: we know you have them. Funny ones, weird ones, happy ones. We want to hear them!
When ZomppaB wrote about her decades-long search for the perfect yogurt, little did she know that so many others shared the same plight…and the same love for YoBaby! Check out the story here.
Her love for and commitment to YoBaby is true and genuine, and the kind folks at Stonyfield offered to help spread the love. This is the first time we’re trying this…but we would love to offer a YoBaby giveaway!! It includes: 1) reusable YoBaby bag, 2) travel YoBaby bowl with lid and utensils, 3) Eric Carle growth chart, 4) 5 Free YoBaby coupons, and 5) YoBaby bib.
But to make it more fun, please post a short food story in the comments about your baby or toddler (or someone else’s baby or toddler) here (no more than 250 words!) by August 10, 2009 and we’ll select the winner via random.org. PS: here’s a link to coupons for more yummy, healthy Stonyfield goodness.
GoBaby!

By the time our third son was born in February 1974, I was tired of buying Gerbers, etc. I bought a small food grinder made for that purpose, and fed him organic fresh vegetables from our garden. He’s the tallest of our offspring, so it must have been beneficial.
My 15 month old son totally loves yoghurt-he actually walks/waddles to the refrigerator, opens it, and picks up a can of yoghurt,usually placed on the lower shelves and proceeds to bite into the foil cover of the yoghurt with his two front teeth- and having made two holes, tries to drink the yoghurt!!! By the way, he has only four teeth, but is already putting them to good use! I am amazed at such determination!
My son has been eating yogurt since he started solids. He loves it still (at 2). I only buy Stonyfield Farm so that is yogurt to him — he asks for it by asking if he can have some cow!
I failed miserably with my desire to use cloth diapers, but knew I could do better with homemade baby food even though I’m a full time mom. We didn’t purchase the cloth diapers at first because we didn’t want to waste money on teeny tiny diapers that wouldn’t be used for more than a month. Then no one bought us the larger diapers we asked for on our baby registry. So we knew we’d have to invest a ton of money we didn’t have. Then our new daycare provider (a little Jamaican lady) didn’t really encourage “difficult” diapers. So it never worked out.
BUT I was committed to the idea of making BB’s baby food. I steamed some sweet potatoes and bought the food cubes to freeze them in – they were wonderful! I bought crisp fresh green beans, and steamed them – pureed them – she hated them! Wow the face she made! But at least I knew that I had made the green beans fresh and by myself. At least I did something right!
When my oldest son was learning to eat with a spoon, the spoon accidentally stuck to the side of his face. We just had to take a picture of it. By the time we got the camera out, the spoon was back in his hand. We unsuccessfully tried to re-create the moment by sticking back on~ but the memory lives on.
Congratulations to Jennifer for winning the YoBaby giveaway!! We LOVED each of your stories, and we thank you for taking the time to write and read. Please keep sharing! More to come; in the meantime…glad your little ones are enjoying good food and “cow.” Happy eating, The Zomppas.
