Jessica Capshaw: I Have Hearty Children
Actress, 34, tells PEOPLE with a laugh at the Ella Moss 10th anniversary party in Los Angeles on Thursday.“My son [ Luke , 3½] was almost 9 lbs. My babies keep getting heartier. [ Eve Augusta , 9 months ] is crawling like a crazy little monkey — she can move like a butterfly. She’s amazing.”
Her two children with husband Christopher Gavigan are fed with care, Capshaw says.
“I make all of her organic baby food, like I did with Luke,” the actress explains. “I don’t know how or why I decided that I was going to keep up with it, but I do. It’s like a second job! I say to my husband, ‘Why am I the only one that makes food?!’”
Doesn’t Earth’s Best make chunkier organic baby foods? Also, my son ate alot of chunkier foods that were soft that I made for him…like soft chunky butternut squash, avacado, cooked carrots…I didn’t completly puree them, just rough chopped them kind of small after cooked and cooled and he gummed them…though he did have several teeth at that age already.
Good for her to make her own. I did a mix of both…with a baby that had a milk protein intolerance, I had to be kind of careful what I fed him and I did lots of homemade things…but, also Gerber and Earth’s Best…EB was my favorite as well as Healthy Timz organics…esp. the barley cereal.
We made our own, too, when our little ones were babies. And luckily we had a garden, so their food went from the garden to their mouths. Is that going the extra mile? I guess, but nobody’s looking for a pat on the back for doing right by their kids.
You know what I wished we’d had then? That new little Magic Bullet for baby food. I’m so jealous! That thing looks SOOOO cool!
Is Earths best really processed? Or just minimally so? I know it is Kosher and Organic… I did EB but made alot of my own baby food, too. Now, Sam is 2 and eats everything and anything…we do alot of organic..and farm fresh. Glad we are out of the baby food days….and the whole family can eat everything!
BTW….why is this site getting so ugly? Overall, I thought this was a fun blog that I have followed for 6 years and it never used to be so judgemental. What is wrong? Why are so many people ready to say nasty things and get worked up? Are we all stressed out moms who are looking to someone to yell at? What is the deal?

How to Make Baby's First Cereal from Scratch | Parenting Pink
By: Cheryl Tallman.
Rice is easily digested and has low allergen aspects, so it is commonly recommended as the first food you introduce to your baby. Many of the recipes for making baby cereals are time consuming, but with the use of the freezer and a blender, homemade rice cereal is simple and convenient.
This recipe is perfect for infants, but by adding a few “extras” it will tempt the taste buds of kids and adults.
Ingredients: 12 ounces breast milk, water, or infant formula
Directions:
Place the cooked brown rice in a blender with the breast milk/water/formula. Puree until completely smooth – you cannot make this cereal too smooth. Pour the cereal into ice trays, cover and freeze overnight. Once frozen, pop the cubes out of the trays, place in a freezer bag or container, labeled with the date and return to the freezer. Lasts up to two months.
To serve:
Defrost the cubes, and add breast milk or formula to develop a smooth consistency. For babies just starting solids, thin the cereal to a semi-liquid consistency. Warm the cereal, if desired. You can also change the flavor of the cereal by adding fruit or veggie baby food, once your baby has started to eat those foods.
Extras for the older crowd: Like most parents raising daughters, I've got issues. Fact is even those of us who are considered parenting "experts" occasionally have no idea what we are doing. Yes, that's what I said. No idea at all. To err is human and I'd say that I do my fair share of it. So join me as I take a journey into my parenting mishaps, missteps, triumphs, and "oh no!" moments that only moms and dads can truly appreciate.
