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

[hunn]

hello mga sis i need your inputs please..i'm following kasi yung recipes that comes with the baby bullet. my baby is 6months old and one of the food recommended is Green Peas, so namili ako sa palengke. now i'm worried if tama ba 'yung pinakain ko kay baby..sa picture kasi and from online recipes, frozen peas from the grocery store kasi usual ginagamit...

kayo sis have you tried giving green peas kay baby? where did you buy it and what does it look like specifically? yung nabili ko kasi is hindi masyadong green,unlike sa samples online..now i'm really worried baka i gave the wrong food to baby. TIA

^My advise is ask your pedia pa rin if it is safe to give green peas. Though I strongly advise kung ano man yung first food niya sa solid haluan talaga ito ng milk para hindi siya mabigla sa lasa and it works naman. For now yung baby ko hindi pa rin siya mapili sa food, yun nga lang nagiging mautak na ngayon kasi kung ano raw ang kinakain ng adult na nakikita niya alam niya iba yung sa kanya kaya ayaw niyang kainin yung kanya. More than 1 year na si baby kasi.

I know that baby bullet at wala pa akong naifollow na recipe from that book. Although I still have plans to use that.

Thanks for your advice sis Purple_Power, will ask her pedia on next visit. i discarded nalang the rest of the green peas and fed her carrots instead. What else did you feed your baby sis on her 6th month? Thanks

Avocados are great first solid food. Mash em up and add a little breastmilk. Its high in fat so super good for babies. Okay din ang brocolli and bananas.

What else did you feed your baby sis on her 6th month? Thanks

as I mentioned sa previous post yung mashed potato with milk ang nirecommend ng neuro doctor, I think doon ata muna ako nagfocus nang husto then most likely mga nilagang carrots, sayote, camote, kalabasa. Nagtagal muna ako sa mashed potato with milk eh! The pedia doctor recommended us na pakainin siya ng nilagang egg yolk thrice a week, wala yung puti. Then pinasubo ko kay baby yung ampalaya, tanggap lang siya ng tanggap. Yung sa green peas not sure ako dyan pero better still ask her pedia. Nakakain na rin siya ng alugbati.

favorite ng lo ko ang kalabasa, nakaka tatlo siyang cube nun ng isang kainan. Pero kapag hinaluan ko na ng carrots or patatas, mahina siyang kumain. I also feed him avocado, papaya at kamote. naaawa naman ako kay lo kasi yun at yun ulet, pedia advised na pwede na daw siyang mag lugaw pero never ko pa siya binigyan. Sa ngayon ang bago sa diet niya is yung Milky Marie + bm for his snacks.

my baby is almost 9mos old,
Bigla na lang ayaw niya kumain ng solids since wednesday,
Dati magana naman siya kumain, puro mashed/puree veggies lang pinapakain ko, meron din ba nakaexperience dito na bigla na lang ayaw kumain ng baby nila? Kapag susubuan na namin siya sinasara na niya bibig nya...

When it comes to bm, same naman consumption niya, nauubos niya pa rin iyong naiiwan ko na bm ang unlilatch kami kapag nasa bahay

[Purple_Power]

^Pinapainom mo siya ng milk right? Nagfoformula ka ba?

Try mo ihalo yung milk sa mash potato then unti untiin mo. Minsan try mong ihalo sa feeding bottle yung mashed potato, nagawa ko na ito dati pero dapat ubos agad kasi nag-iiba lasa kapag pinatatagal.

Pa-join po I have a 9-month old son. I started giving him solids when he turned 6 months old. I usually give him mashed potato, banana (scrape ko lang yung paligid), apple (scraped), mashed kalabasa, hard boiled egg (yolk lang). Yan lang muna yung pinagpapalitan kong solid food sa ngayon.

Basta no salt and oil, tapos no artificial food (gerber, cerelac, etc). All-natural It helps daw para hindi maging picky eater ang kids.

[pumngold]

hi what do you give your baby when your out the whole day? Do you bring cooked/mashed food?
How do you store it to prevent spoilage?

Thanks in advance.

[Purple_Power]

^Naging problema ko yan noon kasi nagdala ako ng veggies I just forgot kung squash or potatoes tapos nangasim pero hindi naman masama yung lasa although pinakain ko pa rin kay baby. Wala namang nangyari kay baby kahit medyo nangasim. Pwede rin yung boiled egg yolk

[crookshanks]

^^ ako sis i bring semi-frozen homemade baby food and put it in an insulated bag. iniinit ko lang yung rice ng onti kase medyo matigas yun. pero hinihiwalay ko ng container dun sa "ulam". so far di pa naman ako napanisan and my baby doesn't mind na hindi warm yung food nya.

Hi Sisses,

Ask ko lang, would you know kung saan makakabili ng Gerber 3rd Food? 1st and 2nd food lang ang available sa Landmark and SM Supermarkets e
My baby is nearing her 10th month pero wala pa syang ngipin so most of the time Gerber 2nd Food, Cerelac and Gerber Puffs ang solids nya.

Sometimes we feed her mashed potato, sayote and banana but I want to introduce her taste buds to meat and rice na sana.

Also, ano kaya ang oks na ihalo sa avocado para masarap sa panlasa ni baby?

TIA!

My 7mo old son doesn't like white potato w milk. ito lang ang hindi nya inubos sa lahat ng naprepare ko (carrots, apples, pear, banana, egg yolk, broccoli, avocado, squash).  and he very rarely refuses food (Lol!). He's also ok eating it cold. para ngang he prefers it cold pa.

nagkaslight pantal pantal sya sa face with carrots. so i stopped giving this muna.

we give him puffs and/or teething wafers as snacks. he has one tooth pa lang.

sa healthy options may nabili din kaming 3rd stage pureed food na mixed veggies w beef. kinain naman nya. so i think magproprogress na kami sa meat.  will prep at home dahil ang pricey ng ready-made. we only keep stash for when we go out. mas stable kase ang store-bought.

^foxlady, i've tried mixing avocado and milk, avocado and eggyolk, avocado and pear. 

[foxlady]

Thanks, sis skela96c!

Na-try ko na ang avocado with her formula milk and oks naman sa kanya
Mamaya ko pa lang itatry ang minatamis na kamote hehe...

Haven't tried egg yolk, natatakot kasi ako na baka mahirinan sya, di ba nakakahirin un?
Anyways, nakakakain na sya ng rice.. as in rice white rice na same ng kinakain namin hehe...
minsan may sabaw ng adobo, minsan nilagang baka minsan sinigang   mukhang hindi naman pihikan sa baby.. sa pagpapainom lang ng tubig kami nahihirapan...

she still eats cerelac, gerber 2nd food and may isang cereal.. Milna ata yun.. na beef and peas flavor plus gerber puffs for snacks

Sisses, worth it ba bumili ng food processor? My baby is 6 months old and I've been feeding her pureed fruits and veggies. We just steam/boil and then mash. Mas mapapadali ba yung preparation kapag may food processor or sayang lang kung gagastos pa kami? Mahal kasi nung nakita ko, Avent food processor, 10K! Steamer and blender all in one.

[crookshanks]

^ako nung puree pa kinakain ng baby ko yung blender na lang ang ginagamit ko. napupuree din naman, instead na bumili pa ng food processor.

[ghye]

^^I have the Avent 2-in1, steamer and blender and it's so worth it especially if you are a working mom like me.  Also, it's healthier if steamed compared to boiled.

[dayieyie]

hand blender lang ang gamit namin sis. nakukuha naman nya yung puree na consistency. easy to use, convenient and madali din linisin. 

[milkshake18]

we have a blender we used it mostly nung around 6months pa sya to achieve puree consistency. but later on hindi na masyado ginagamit kasi my baby prefers chunkier food kaya fork nalang gamit ko to mash. so depends kung may ibang paggagamitan ang food processor, mahal kasi.
