Blenderized Feeds!

It took 3 years, a complex surgery, and getting a very special (& expensive) industrial blender but I just got to buy the 1st jar of baby food for Riley! :) Because Riley is doing so well after her stomach surgery this summer we are able to feed her directly into her stomach via a gastric tube. Before we had to deliver her nutrition through a long tube into her small intestine. We could only use a very basic and thin formula for fear of clogging the tube. But the gastric tube she has now is very short directly to her stomach and gives us the ability to give her blenderized feeds. These feeds allow us to give her super healthy, customized vitamins and foods that are focused nutrition for her specific needs. This is going to be so much better for her than the basic formula we have been forced to use. Plus I am just super excited about being able to cook for my sweet baby :)
