Baby's first solids: Preparing and Storing Tips (Part 2)

[kireinachean]

sis Nhetskii nun 5months din si baby ko e puro cereal din sya pero nun nag 6months sya tinanggal na namin dbale kamote, apple, squash, carrots, potato ang madalas nya kainin tapos nun mga 7months na sya gumagawa na kame ng lugaw nya tska pasta na pakukuluan sa spinach at chicken breast.

^^nung 1st time ni baby kumain almost a week sya naka-cerelac but after that tyinaga ko maghome made rice cereal for her para mas healthy. nung una powdered rice ginagamit ko pero nung nagkateeth na sya, almost two weeks ago, whole grain na ginagawa kong cereal nya pero minamash ko pa rin. i mix it with veggies lang. allergic si baby sa chicken kaya afraid ako magbigay nun pati tuloy fish ayoko pa ipatry sa kanya, she's 8 months already.
if you're stay at home mom lang sis mas ok at mas healthy na ikaw na lang magprepare ng food ni baby. its fun pa

[Nhetskii]

Sis kireinachin anong cereal ang binigay mo?

Sis viellemacey pano gumawa ng homemade cereal? Working mom ako pero gusto ko din sanang ako mag prepare...

Thanks mga sis!

never nakatikim si baby ng processed baby food, cerelac or gerber pa yan wala talaga.

got some recipes here: http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/

basta base ko nun is 1/3 regular milled rice + 1/3 brown rice + 1/3 oatmeal tapos ibe-blender ko lang para maging powder ng onti. di masyadong pino para may onting texture. I cook this na parang lugaw tapos i add fruits and veggies na pureed. i would start with just 1 kind tapos i build along combinations like squash and apple, carrots and peas etc etc.

i would these in ice trays tapos i would freeze them. normally a batch would last for a week 2-3/feedings a day. bahala na kayo mag adjust how much gagawin niyo depende how often you can cook, ako kase since working single mom, weekends lang may time gumawa niyan.

[viellemacey]

sis Nhetskii ganun kay sis Curious Ava ang ginagawa ko. but i'm using combi of regular rice dito sa house and brown rice, i have oatmeal seperately. blender lang din gamit ko. i'm preparing foods good for 3 days only using ice tray method too

[Nhetskii]

^ thanks sis! 

pag sinabi ba ng pedia na cereal, pwede kong ibigay yung homemade na lugaw like yung ginawa ni sis curiousava? sorry ha nalilito na ko... (shushunga shunga lang... first time mom kasi eh)

Thanks again!

[viellemacey]

^yes sis. actually sis cereal din inadvice ng pedia ni baby noon, cerelac pa nga to be exact, pero nung nagdecide ako na home made na lang pumayag naman sya as long as the consistency is almost the same sa cerelac since first time kakain si baby tapos iniadjust ko na lang gradually yung consistency.

[Nhetskii]

^ thanks again sis!

present ako dito mga mommies!

mas ma trabaho pala talaga pag solid food na kumpara sa bottle feeding, 2 months & 3 weeks na si baby and need ko ng mag start mag research

need ko na rin siguro mag tingin tingin ng mga gagamitin kong utensils para sa 1st solid ni baby

[ghye]

^Matrabaho po talaga gumawa ng home made baby food.  I'm also a working mom but I prepare my baby's foods, and stock them in the ref para hindi araw-araw ako nagpreprpepare.  It's so fulfilling and rewarding on our part when we prepare our baby's foods.  Hindi po rason ang nagwowork kasi ako kaya wala akong time gumawa.  There is always a time for everything especially for our babies needs and benefits.

Hi mga mommy! Yung baby ko ayaw mag eat ng solid foods kahit kaunti lang. Pero pag food galing healthy options, gustung gusto niya. Tips naman dyan para mapakain ko sya ng solid foods. Thank you mommies!

When to introduce solid food to a baby? LO is 3 mos. old.

[katrinac]

^ mas okay sis pag ka 6 months na.

kami ni baby, ever since ako nagawa ng food nya. every day ako nag pu puree ng pagkain nya. last week gumawa ako ng homemade brown rice cereal nya with apples and bananas. hihi!

Try mo babynatura.  It's organic Some moms skip cereal and go straight to squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes.  Ok naman, baby loves squash, just add a little milk.  My baby is so chubby.

[crookshanks]

joining mga sis. My baby is 5 1/2 mos old and getting ready na rin ako to start her on solids. I'm also planning to make homemade baby food. Question lang how do you reheat yung food niya? Is it ok to microwave? I'm not planning to freeze kase we don't have enough freezer space. I'm just planning to make baby food good for 2 days and ref lang.

[katrinac]

crookshanks - based sa mga nabasa ko dati sis, it is not advisable daw to heat yung food ni baby gamit ang microwave. if you have a food heater you can use it instead. i have a bottle warmer and food warmer in one so dati yun ang ginagamit ko. kaso yung baby ko kasi is medyo may pag ka weird, she prefers yung malamig na pagkain. hehe! and since yung nag start sya ng solids ay pureed fruits and veggies give ko sa kanya, parang okay lang din naman kahit malamig.

[baby_peanut]

^sis anong brand yung bottle and food warmer in one mo? thanks!

[Beng01]

I personally prepare my baby's food everyday. As in every day ang pagboil, pag mash at pag store sa ref. I want my baby to eat the no-preservatives, everyday cooked food, and all natural food (no salt, msg, etc.) Puro bland talaga kahit ako ayoko kainin , pero my baby likes it naman kahit fresh from the ref, her yaya feed her my prepared baby food every lunch and dinner.

Here are the veggies I usually prepared for her :
-Kamote
-Carrot
-Kalabasa
-Sayote
-Patatas

In 10days time 6months na si baby and i'm excited to introduce solid to him  I'll be preparing his food din kaya nagbabasa basa na ako ng mga guides and sample recipes.

Question lang mga sis, when adding formula milk instead of water when pureeing meron ba specific na timpla pa din? I mean kelangan ba kung paano mag-timpla ng usual na fm ganun pa din or basta water plus milk okay na? Ebf kasi si baby kaya wala ako alam sa FM, and since ebf si baby kelangan ko pa ba i-consult si pedia before ko introduce ang FM thru his soild food? Di kaya manibago sya sa lasa dahil iba yung milk and worst baka di nya tuloy kainin yung solid food.
