u can google about it, or even download apps about it as well.

for the ones that u can buy at the store, heinz products are good.
still better to prepare ur own, but buying ready made food is more convenience i guess.

farley's rusks also good, can use for teething, and can add water and become like porridge/nestum.

Thank you 😊

Heinz, baby organics, bellamy (organics food more expensive). Prefer homemade tho cos its fresh. Get those baby blender..lots of brands out there.. Im using philips avent.

Thank you 😊. How long can I keep those handmade purée in the fridge?

Usually finish it within 1 day to make sure it's still fresh. Make it in small amount, for 1 day feeding. Usually i will make it as for 2 serving per day, as to feed in the afternoon and late evening. That's for fruits and vege as homemade pureed, and also i feed my baby with baby organics cereal/oats for 6 mths and above (every morning/1time/day), just to make sure that they receive all the nutrients they need for daily other than just formula milk.

depends on what kind of feeding u want to start with your baby....

nowaday a lot of ways to feed ur baby....

etc.... Baby Led Weaning (BLW), puree feeding, porridge feeding...

BLW - need to do a lot of researches and emergency handling course before that, but you can easily let ur baby feeding him/her very soon~ then u can enjoy ur meal...

Puree feeding.... need to make the puree daily... or bulk weekly.... need to do quite a lot of kitchen work.... but him/her can get more nutrition when u feeding those mix puree in a meal...

porridge feeding... simple, old style parents/nanny favourite


u can feed watever u think is convenient to you.... can make your life easier... since taking care of a baby is not easy oledi......



advertisement time.... Homemade baby food for sell....

Thank you 😊 going to start soon 😍

any updates?

when my son first started solid foods, had problems with pooing.

make sure the stool is soft like before ya.
drink a lot of liquids too.

also, do the 4 day food allergy when u give the baby the food ya.

There's tons of products in the market for baby food with the age range highlighted on the box too. It isn't that hard to choose. On this aspect, parents can probably try out the flavors and discover which one that the baby likes the most. However, mom's breast milk is still the best because it has all the nutrients that baby needs.

After the age of 6 months, you can introduce a more solid food to the baby. Porridge is the best because they're soft and you can customize it however you like to make it flavorful. One popular recipe that is trending on the Internet is probably broccoli porridge.

You can give it a try and it's very easy to make it too. Just remember if you're using certain ingredients, make sure they are soft enough for the baby or at least blend them right.

That broccoli porridge trend you mentioned? Spot on. It’s simple and full of nutrients. I’d just add a quick reminder for anyone reading: even with store-bought baby food, it’s smart to keep an eye on what’s actually in the jar or pouch. Some popular brands have been found to contain heavy metals like lead and arsenic, which could seriously impact development. There’s this useful guide here on that issue if anyone wants to dig into it. Always good to be safe

mine start after 6mths, starting with blended millet to check on how she accept solid. (all the food steam and blend, easy)
then slowly add in
-broccoli
-salmon (steam separately and blend together with millet)
-cauliflower
-carrots
-baby spinach (usually blanching and mix with millet to blend together
-potatos
-chicken breast
there are so many ingredient, can slowly add/mix/match yourself. no need put oil/salt/sugar because their porridge is already flavorful.

chicken egg is only given when she is over 18mths because small kids tends to allergy to eggs. wait their body system grow more mature only give them so that they can tackle the allergy easier.

I dont usually introduce processed food like those nestle or heinz or any other similar product because it's processed food and some of them have add preservative and salt. Unless really very very no choice (etc:traveling and food preparation is difficult). For this I will recommend MommyJ Baby Instant Congee (no salt no preservative), for finger food i will go for Double Happiness Multigrain/Brown Rice/Black Rice series (no salt no oil no sugar no preservative)

if you rajin enough, just buy fresh groceries and steam and blend. (if i cuti cuti malaysia, i will normally choose the homestay with kitchen, or at least have a fridge, then i'll precook and blend and freeze in tupperware bring along to travel. reach homestay put inside the fridge. heat up when needed or heat up and put in thermal pot if go out to eat)

I dont add any salt and sugar in her diet as i believe when kids grow older, they tends to intake more of those themself so no necessary to start early.

Hope my sharing helps. Happy parenting!

ohya, by the way, the reason i choose millet over normal white rice is because white rice have high sugar content.
