Making Ben's food, I'm struggling to get him enough protein.
Probably just need to suck it up and put some meat in the food mill, but my book* says to give babies 6mos+ egg yolk at least every other day. I've held off until now, given the allergy potential with egg.
Seems as though I need to hold off a little longer.
These pictures don't do him justice for just how macho our little allergyweenie really is.
But they were taken roughly 2 hours after the first taste of egg yolk.
*The book also says that avocado and millet should be daily staples. They are his other two biggest reactions to date. Maybe I need a new book?

Poor Ben! And poor you. Tryin' to do the good by him and look what's happening. FYI: We skipped the eggs after Abbie had a similar reaction and tried plain tofu in the blender, mixed with a vege instead. Don't know how brave you're feelin', but it's a thought!
I don't know why I suck at beans so much, but I do! Did you used canned? I'll be honest - I'm starting to branch out from the book. I'll work on pureeing some chicken and start feeding him what we eat. And I'll be honest - I'm going to buy some jarred "dinner" meals. That's all there is to it.
Um.. I understand that tofu is not beans. I realize my comment is not a good follow up to yours. My thought process was "Hmm.. I can't make beans work - wonder how much I'll mess up tofu!"
