After hearing Kristin Cavallari's easy healthy feeding tip -- one she swears by with her son, Camden -- I wish I'd heard something similar back when my son was an infant.

Sure, I gave him foods I thought were healthy, but they weren't always organic or 100 percent natural. I just figured if it was baby food, it had to be pretty decent -- being that it was made for an infant and all. (Boy, was I dumb.)

Maybe you make your own baby food. Maybe you pick up a few jars every time you hit the supermarket. Here's something we can all agree on: moms deserve the right to know what their baby is eating. Only a bunch of baby food makers disagree; they want to keep a lead warning off the side of their eats. 

Yes, I said lead. In baby food.

Ewwwww!

How cute is it when baby starts eating solids? They make those crazy faces from tasting something completely new and then spit it out all over themselves. It's one of those photograph moments. But a moment we shouldn't rush. There are many reasons to delay solids until baby is 6 months old -- it's recommended by the World Health Organization and you want to wait until baby's gut is ready are just two. A new study has also given further evidence that giving your child solids too soon could lead to a predisposition to obesity.

It's fascinating actually. Researchers point out that when we eat those first foods can change the way certain organs in our body develop. Eating solids too soon can program our bodies differently and it could end up causing the propensity to gain weight later on in life. 

Since it's been what, oh, 30 seconds since there was something controversial regarding babies, here's a lovely little nugget for you: Some experts are saying that organic baby food may not be more nutritious for your little one -- just more expensive.

According to Tiffani Hays, the director of pediatric nutrition at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, "The variety of foods and nutrients that babies take in will have a much larger impact on their health than whether they’re fed organic or not. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber have much better research and documented health benefits than does choosing organic."

Okay, be that as it may, it can't hurt to buy organic, can it? And why does everyone hate organic food all of a sudden?

Trying to figure out which foods are okay to give your baby and when is one of the more confusing things about parenthood. Unlike innately knowing what to do when your child is fussy or tired, feeding baby solids gets tricky in the sense that, well, you don't want your kid to have a Mason Disick-style allergic reaction. But now -- sorry moms and dads -- things are about to get even more perplexing. An article by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says that highly allergic foods like peanut butter, fish, and eggs can be introduced earlier as opposed to later. Actually, it's being recommended (by some). The belief is that allowing your baby to try these foods as early as 4 to 6 months may help prevent future allergies.

What? Isn't this against everything we've been hearing?

Time to get one of these?We've seen plenty of gross stories about finding alien objects in food: A severed finger in a sandwich, a frog in a salad. But finding something in your child's baby food?!? Gross AND dangerous! Poor little Theodore Bovington choked on a fingernail in his baby food the other day, according to his father, Christopher Bovington. And yes, it was terrifying.

He describes the panic he felt when he saw his baby choking, his wife screaming when she saw, too. "She held his head and was trying to get [the obstruction], but every time he coughed, it moved further backwards." He took a turn and was finally able to pull the object out. Imagine his fury when he discovered it was a human fingernail.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday ... for grown-ups. It's all about the food and the family togetherness and the food. Ah. But for babies, especially those who aren't yet eating solids, it can be pretty anti-climactic.

Nevertheless, a baby at the Thanksgiving table is reason enough to be thankful a million times over, and few things are more adorable and cozy than baby's first Thanksgiving.

With that in mind, here are eight babies celebrating their first Thanksgiving by mowing solids, smearing their faces with food, dressing like some sort of fowl (chicken, turkey, whatevs!), and generally bringing great joy to the table. See below:

Every Mom I talk to seems to have a different theory on how to introduce solids to a baby. Veggies then fruits was my pediatrician's plan. Green foods then orange was another.

But I haven't found a single path that guarantees your baby is going to love everything you put in their mouth ... and one adorable little guy named Andrew was caught on video recently showing just how bad things can go when your baby gets a taste of something they don't like. The cutie is more than happy to suck down spoons full of pears, but when Mom pulls a bait and switch and tries to give her little guy peas, well ... just watch what happens.
