Baby Weaning, Baby Food!

Baby S has been a fully breast fed baby since birth and at about 5 months old, we decided to start her with some solids!

Starting solid with baby begins with allowing them to try and see if they are alright with the food. We started with basic baby cereal which you can easily get from NTUC, iherb or any shop which sells baby food!

I give baby S this! Brought from iherb. 

Then we give her some plain porridge and pure puree. Once she is better with eating, we give her a mixture of puree with cereal or porridge with veggie!

1) Potato and Broccoli Mash

2) Pumpkin, Carrot and Potato Purre

3) Fish Porridge 

Ingredient: 4 Tablespoon of (uncooked) rice + 1 small slice of salmon + 2 stalk of baby spinach. 

Method: 

1. Bring water to boil in a small pot. 

2. Once boil put in the salmon to cook. 

3. Once salmon is cooked, put in the rice and continue boiling. 

4. Finally put in the baby spinach (finely chopped) and cook the the texture you want. 

* The longer you cook the softer the rice is and the more puree the texture is. 

To prevent fussy eater, I will make sure that baby s eat a wide range of food and if she choose not to eat; dislike, then what I will do is I will let her stop and only give her food again 2hrs later and I will ensure I will give her the same food. After a bit she will be willing to try and eat anything. =) 

Now she is a happy eater and she loves food!
