baby's first solids: preparing and storing solid food for baby

[delisyus]

ako naman... i steam the apples pa (I only give papaya, banana and avocado as is) before i strain/mash

the only thing i don't strain/mash is banana and the rice/oatmeal cereals from EB packets

hunny... thanks for the tip. Kanina ko lang actually na-realize na I can buy a lot of organic stuff at my son's school pala though I have yet to inquire if they sell yogurt (they do this cut up mangoes, bananas, apples mixed with raisins and some oats with yogurt that I have learned to love eating). I saw organic eggs and the veggies naman are staples na there...

[reb_woods072683]

I see. Thanks for the info sis. I will try banana. Pero, what type of banana ba ang ok sa baby? Any kind will do?

[hunny_ally]

we give him whatever we buy for the house. usually it's cavendish

my baby is 5months 3 weeks now, i started giving her solids last sunday, i cooked ground rice with wilkins then mixed breastmilk. She liked it during the first 3 days, then yesterday ayaw na nya..i mashed a little banana and mixed it with the rice..nagustuhan nya na. Later ill try again na plain rice with bm.

Then maybe sa weekend ill try either kamote or avocado, okay ba yun for beginners?

re: eggs.. May history din ng allergy my kids..as much as i want to delay  giving it, the pedia instructed me to give her eggyolk next month in preparation for her MMR vaccine, a week before daw, to check if she's allergic.

hi sis, nag start na pala si baby mo ng solid. ako gusto ko na rin kaso ayaw pa ni hubby. kasi pag may nakikita sya ng kumakain nakatitig sya. May go signal na ba si pedia or ikaw lang nag decide?

[pinkcoyote]

^Yes sis, sabi nga ni pedia start at 5 months, then I waited 2 more weeks pa hehe..kanina I tried giving her sayote. ayaw nyas

[reb_woods072683]

my baby likes sayote, ang ayaw niya yung squash, niluluwa talaga. wala namang lasa yun, weird hehe. i will buy banana later and i will buy din ground rice. i didnt know pwede pala i mix yun hehe.

[pumngold]

san makakabili ng ground rice?

[pinkcoyote]

^hehe, try ko nga squash.. Kapag ba ayaw ni baby di nyo na binibigay? So di na finafollow yung 3-day rule, kapag ayaw, offer na ibang food the next day?

[hunny_ally]

^^you can ground regular rice using a blender or coffee grinder. we use a coffee grinder

^i try again the following day

[pumngold]

dapat ba powdery ang ground rice?

[pinkcoyote]

^sis ako, my MIL had the rice grounded sa palengke. Yung nag-gigiling ng bigas dun. Napagiling sya 1kilo ang dai na nun kaya she gave some to her neighbor too na may baby

[hunny_ally]

dapat ba powdery ang ground rice?

i dont make it powdery. my pedia advised me not to give smooth textured food kasi hindi masasanay ang baby to chew their food. even with my eldest, we didnt give her anything pureed. i didnt have problems introducing her to table food.

^sis ako, my MIL had the rice grounded sa palengke. Yung nag-gigiling ng bigas dun. Napagiling sya 1kilo ang dai na nun kaya she gave some to her neighbor too na may baby

thats what my mom suggested din before when we started solids on with my panganay. kaso i prefer na na freshly ground so i bought a coffee grinder.

[pinkcoyote]

^thanks sis, pero alam mo powdery yung bigay ni MIL sakin eh. kung ako lang, ayoko din ng masaydong pureed, pagmix ko nga ng bm ang labnaw na, nagtutubig (sabaw), gusto ko din sana may texture kaya yung sayote na binigay ko i just used fork, siguro kaya ayaw ni baby kasi nanibago sa texture

[pumngold]

If ok lang na hindi pala puree siguro i will cook rice (not grounded) then mashed it na lang afer cooking. Then add a little of veggies.

Btw, may good find ako sa sm baby company. Food storage bowl (non spill) Nanny brand 4 sets for  100php. it is ideal for travelling. sa akin masusulit ito kasi i make her food for 2 or 3 days. Baon nya when she goes to her lola's house on weekdays. Di mahirap kasi you don't need to transfer the food in a baby's bowl,pwedeng derecho na siya ifeed doon.

[pinkcoyote]

^ngayon what i use yung avent via cups hehe may nagregalo kasi nun 1 set very useful for bm and food storage

i also bought the nuby nibler, parang version nung munchkin feeder, yung may net pa-try ko after a month

kanina i gave kamote mixed with bm, at first ayaw nya, nilagay ko muna sa ref then offered it to her again nagustuha nya na, gusto pala malamig hehe

Baby is 6 mos. old. Nagce-Cerelac na sya nung 5 mos. Tapos kanina nag-lugaw yung nanay ko na may katas ng malunggay. Naku, niluluwa ni baby... Try na lang namin sa ibang araw.

We bought a Philips Avent Steam & Blend sa Singapore, ang mura kasi. Try namin this weekend gagawa kami ng baby food.
