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

[Cherry143]

sis hunny_ally & grayce,
sensya na, kasi di talaga rin ako magaling, maalam sa mga recipes & magluto.  ok na pala kay baby ang mga spices na yun? sige, try ko! thanks!

[Grayce]

^you don't need to be an expert in cooking, i just relied mostly on google/research with my son's food aside from knowing some basic cooking.

^^yes for next month im also hoping my son won't be a picky eater. ang dilemma ko lang now is i really have to keep his hands busy with something while he's eating or else hindi talaga kakain, he gets bored easily in his high chair. right now my son also eats ampalaya na rin sana lang magtuloy tuloy na he eats almost anything. madami rin kasing "enablers" sa paligid namin which sort of annoys me, kahit na pagsabihan na bawal like cakes, ice creme, foods with oyster sauce/patis/asin binibigyan parin

naging picky eater na yung baby ko. gusto na niyang food yung malasa. ayaw na nya yung medyo bland. tsaka napansin ko mas prefer niya ang finger food.

[Grayce]

^there will come a time na gusto talaga ng bata finger food instead. my boy is also like that sometimes. when it comes to his snacks (cheese, puffs, biscuits) hinahayaan ko lang basta nasa high chair but if it's his usual dinner/lunch food i still insist on feeding him or sometimes what i do is i let him hold the spoon and guide him to eat

[bachoi]

sis grayce, hirap pakainin ngayon ng baby ko. pag sinusubuan ko talagang umiiling siya. minsan aamuyin nya muna pag hindi nya nagustuhan yung amoy as in ni hindi talaga titikman.

[Grayce]

^try distracting your baby. ang anak ko kailangan meron binubutingting bago susubo. no choice ako kasi mabilis mainip sa high chair e kaysa magwala so kung ano ano binibigay ko, from chopsticks to box  ng cereal etc.

[chic_clothes]

^ correct sis ako din kahit sa pag drink ng water my kaylangan pa kami pakita or nagpupunta kami sa may window para lang may ituro sa kanya na bird or dog kaylangan talaga matyaga ang parent sa pagpapakain..

[Grayce]

^that's one thing i discovered in being a mom, kailangan ng bonggang PATIENCE lalo na pag magpapakain effort kung effort talaga. kaya minsan naiinis ako sa relatives ko everytime they say my son is a "picky" eater e there's a big difference between being a picky eater and yung kailangan lang distract para kumain. it's not like niluluwa nya if i let him eat veggies or so, and iba iba naman ang mga babies, just because their kids before don't need a distraction and diredirecho naman kumain doesn't mean na ganun lahat ng bata.

[chic_clothes]

^ ako sis before talagang naiinis ako pag pinapakain ko si baby tapos hindi nauubos yung food..feeling ko ako may problema..pero nung hinabaan ko patience ko and di ko pinipilit si baby, ayun mas naging ok ang pagkain nya..kaylangan lang talaga aliwin mo si baby kase pag pinilit mo siya mas lalo siya aayaw sa food and parang torture sa kanya pag meal time na..

[Grayce]

^same with my baby, kailangan aliwin. pag bad mood ayaw kumain. now my son is on a "finger food" phase. minsan mas gusto nya cya magsusubo sa sarili nya ng food

[chic_clothes]

^ kulet din sis noh si baby ko naman siya naghahawak ng spoon niya minsan..until what time sa dinner mo pinapakain si baby?

[Grayce]

^depends on what time my husband gets home, sabay sabay kasi kami kumakain. but sometimes maaga ko cya pinapakain lets say if i know my husband will go home late pinakalate na main nya 8:30.

[chic_clothes]

^ ah talaga sis kahit 8pm pwede pa mag eat si baby mo..sabi kase ng pedia ko until 7pm lang daw pwede mag dinner si baby..ilang taon na pala baby mo? baby ko kase is 1 yr and 3 months..may rice din siya sa dinner?

[Grayce]

^turning 1 on sat yes he eats rice already. i usually give him brown rice. wala naman sinabi pedia nya i guess kasi medyo late rin matulog baby ko. 11 kasi cya usually natutulog. maaga na ang 10 sa kanya. he wakes up usually mga 9:30-10AM tapos magna nap ng 2hrs sa hapon

[chic_clothes]

ah ok thanks sis..pwede nga kumain pa si baby mo late na pala siya matulog advance happy birthday to your baby!

[glamorosa_09]

I bought japanese rice kanina...
hopefully maging successful ang rice stick ko, at mag stick talaga sya.
para eto ang maging finger food ng baby ko, haluan ko rin ng fish.

[Grayce]

^^thanks

^thanks for this idea, matry nga to. lately kasi has prefer ng baby ko kumain "on his own" a.k.a. finger food

[miksha]

^ hindi ko maintindihan din iyan time na yan na kapag past 6or 7pm bawal na kumain ang bata (got that from my MIL). I mean late naman matulog ang anak ko. Sabi hindi daw matutunawan kase gabi na e hindi naman siya matutulog agad after kumain.

[Grayce]

^kinokontra ka ba ng MIL mo, i mean nakikialam? yung ibang relatives ko kontrabida sa ganito pero sorry sila, ako ang nanay at ako ang masusunod

[hunny_ally]

re the eating time for dinner, if hindi naman big eater kids ninyo, i dont see if bakit di puwedeng late. my son, though eats early, kasi by 8pm inaantok na. tip too, never introduce anything new (lalo na veggies) pag sa gabi. that way if may adverse reaction, you can easily contact your pedia
