Feeding Time

Something I've been struggling with is when to start my son on regular baby food.

He's been drinking around 5 ounces of formula,

and having rice cereal in his bottle at night.

But we haven't really ventured out into the whole pureed food area.

Now I've been told from other parents,

that around 5 months is when you can start your child on regular food.

So we've attempted applesauce,

and I'm not going to lie,

Not sure if he's really ready.

Also,

have any of you mom's out there attempted making their own baby food?

I'm really interested in this, 

because I want to make sure my son is getting the right amount of nutrients and nothing extra.

But it seems so daunting, and time consuming.

Is it really worth it?

I know each child goes at their own pace in life.

I just want to make sure my son is getting everything that he needs at the right time.

Any other mothers stress about this stuff?
