hi sisses, sarap magbackread and i got a lot of infos here. here's my first solid food experiences:
my twins started solids earlier and now they are 7mos old. i introduced their solids gradually until they reached this 3meal stage. they've eaten giniling beef, giniling pork, food processed: beef cubes, pork cubes, bangus and tilapia and almost all types of green leafy veggies (ultimong alugbati), carrot, kalabasa, sayote, legumes etc and available fruits except the citrusy ones as per my pedia. no to other fish/seafood, chicken, biscuits and egg just yet until 1yo as per my pedia. they have been eating 3x a day:
breakfast 5 tbsp cerelac with 1 tbsp meat & 1 tbsp veggies then 1 tbsp fruit for dessert
lunch & dinner 5 tbsp brown rice (yung giniling na bigas) with 2 tbsp veggie & 1 tbsp meat then 1 tbsp fruit for dessert
sometimes i freeze my pre-cooked veggies/viands kasi i cook in the weekends ng nilaga, sinigang, chopseuy pero hiwalay with my babies, i only put onion sa stocks para magkalasa lang then processor na then add freshly cooked brown rice porridge (yung giniling na bigas)
nung una, ang fear ko lang is [textspeak!] bowel movement kasi syempre titigas na ang jebs kaya sasakit na when they poop kaya i was hesistant to make the 3meal a day. medyo cry din ang drama at nagiging 3x a day din sila magpoop pero konti sometimes pag marami, once lang. maybe depende rin sa menu for the day, like beef medyo heavy sa kanila ata yun. nagkadiaper rash nga isang baby kasi siguro sa changes ng food intake na nila.
so far, pureed with a little texture sila, nagg-gag pa rin yung isang baby ko pag may chunk eh, sayang naman at naubos na niya ang almost 1 cup food eh, niluluwa lang lahat dahil may isang strand ng veggie di naprocess mabuti. no teeth pa rin pero teething na talaga.
siguro by 8-9th month, table food na talaga na may konting chunks. dadamihan ng tubig ko na lang yung bigas para malambot kahit di na brown rice. cant wait to have them sitting right next to us, eating the same food:) gusto ko na rin sila magstart grab ng food at sila na kumain na di sila machochoke. kelan ba pede un?
malamang parents natin di naman kasing galing magresearch like us, pero look at us, wala namang bad product sa mga maagang nagsolids or AM lang ang kinaing first solid food or half scoop lang ng milk formula ang nilalagay sa dpat na intake (walang pambili ng gatas si mader nun, hehe) nung baby pa tayo pero syempre, dahil meron ng internet sa panahon natin, we see to it na we give the best to our babies. kudos to all the mommies here:) thanks for sharing all of this info. di ko alam na pede na pala ang yougurt, bread sticks etc as snacks. san nga pala nakakabili ng munchkin feeder? tia
