my baby graduated from pureed porridge to mashed porridge... sometimes i just let him taste our food by giving him grains of rice to eat, hope to train him to eat normal rice already... now 1 yo...
i also have some cool recipes on my blog.. my main ingredients are carrot, pumpkin, brocoli and potato.. easy to buy and easy to store for a long time, cos babies intake is very small mah...
another very good and useful website for baby nutrition is wholesomebabyfood..it was my bible

QUOTE(DarkNite @ Feb 5 2011, 07:40 AM) I always keep an eye out for Frozen veg like those you have mentioned whenever I visit Tesco. These are not your regular frozen stuff but imported Tesco UK label. These frozen veg can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 month but do check out the expiry dates. And as you've mention we only need small quantities so a bag usually last me a month or 2. It is very convenient as I only need to rinse, cut into smaller pieces and pop it into the nearly cooked broth. Very little waste and easy to portion control. And good Frozen veg is Watties baby peas. Not many outlet carries this Aussie product but do grab one and try for yourself. This is the smaller size green peas, so they are much tender (especially the skin) and sweeter. If you toddler is able to bite you can try these half smash to start off his chew training, if not you can blend them skin and all. i also keep watties mixed veg (green peas, corn & carrot) handy in case i want to make pasta or fried rice any time.. very convenient!

QUOTE(nicKit @ Feb 18 2011, 04:52 PM) one more thing  after baby try a certain food let's say apple for day 1... then he can eat apple for day 2-4 then try new food? or eat apple day 1 then wait until day 5 then try new food? for allergy... it is advised to follow 4 day rule when intro new food. After 4th day, u are confident he is fine with the food. After that u can start intro a new food or just continue with apple. Give water once baby start solid, that is around 6 months

1) u can start on 1st march.. i start 2 weeks before 6months due to convenience of the timing (had vaccinations planned in the week he turns 6months, and i only had the weekend to start food cos i work full time)
2) Plenty of bb food dont contain skimmed milk... like heinz and gerbers.. but since u are SAHM, why not make your own? cheaper and healthier too

I wont advice nestle as first food cos it contains sugar.
I gave heinz rice cereal as the first food, and i dont think it contains skimmed milk. Which heinz product did u look at?
For travelling, u can get the canned food for once in a while usage, it is something that u can adjust for short term need...
For long term i prefer to give home cooked food.

QUOTE(phythia79 @ Mar 1 2011, 10:39 AM) Yeah..he was choosy...never liked rice cereal or porridge..dunno why. But he took on well on the pureed vege and fruits..guess...it is sweet. Nowadays, it's much easier coz I give him whatever we eat unless it's spicy food. He loves fried rice for sure..still don't really like porridge. you can put pumpkin and carrot in the porridge for his fav taste... porridge is one way to make them eat several vegs daily

heinz biscuit is not suitable for 1st time food... that one u can give maybe later 8 months and above... it has salt/sugar contents, hence not that recommended.. i do give once in a while for convenient food, otherwise i dont make it a habit. You need to look out for heinz rice cereal. Below are the among baby food that i bought. Heinz rice cereal comes in a blue box

QUOTE(henryhing @ Mar 1 2011, 03:59 PM) Weaning starts after baby reach minimum 4 months old. I start gradually la. Mainly soft foods like potato,carrot, then add in fish etc. 1 simple Baby food recipe for lazy dad like me: - boiled potato + Boiled carrots + boiled green peas ( cooked tengiri/salmon or tuna fish which is optional) - Little butter - Boiled milk ( 1/4th of total amount of solid eg if 400gms of above vege+fish, I add 100mls of boiled fresh milk - minimal salt ( optional) Blend everything together....Finish nice idea but most paed would recommend 6 months above. Plus fresh milk for <1yo is not suitable, without knowing if your baby is allergic or not... and no salt required for baby food

QUOTE(henryhing @ Mar 1 2011, 08:26 PM) Very true..but most babies already on cow's milk (i.e formula instead of breast milk ) very early in life which is not recommended. But i really dont think there r any difference between fresh or formula cows milk coz both will have casein right??. Weaning can be started earliest at 4 months, depending on which country's practice as well.. No salt would be perfect.....Dont see any harm with minimum salt though.. FM is made from cows milk but it is not exact same content of cows milk. Plus cows milk is the purest thickest form, not all babies can take it. Do consult your paed. If you do further research, daily recommended salt intake for babies is very very little, which can contain in the natural food itself. Adding extra salt is introducing extra content. Plus if u start giving solids to your baby with 'tasty' food, they will be very choosy in eating later on. Difficult for you, and also depriving them of good nutrition. My advice, if possible start with no added salt and sugar, to build good foundation.
