Can my baby have spicy foods? YES! You can introduce your baby to whatever spices your family eats. What is your baby's favorite food? ~Rebecca, RN

When you started solid foods, how did your baby react? One of my kids made a horrible face and pushed it all out, and my other kid was a pro her first time, and wanted more! Both of these reactions are normal. ~Rebecca, RN

Tips for using frozen breastmilk: It might taste or smell different than fresh breast milk. It can also look slightly blue, yellow or brown. Slowly thaw milk in the refrigerator. This causes less fat loss. When milk is thawed, swirl it to mix in the fat. Throw away any milk which has been thawed longer than 24h.... Warmed breastmilk can be put back in the fridge for 4 hours if your baby has not touched it with their mouth. Throw away milk within 12h after the baby is finished feeding. See more
