May,
i boil the pumpkin, have not tried to steam, maybe will try tomorrow. When I boil the pumpkin, I use the water to make the cereal, so hopefully the nutrients that go into the water during boiling is not wasted. I don't know scientific or not, but when we drink soup , the essence are in the soup, so I thought maybe it goes for the pumpkin too.
Hong,
Now at night I will add one scoop of cereal into his milk to replace one scoop of formula. Also continue to feed with spoon in the morning. But I observed that his poo poo becomes dry though he poos more frequent. I think I must give him more fruits and vege.
Dsii,
Are you sahm? If can, I think better to buy fresh vege and fruits to puree for baby to eat. I think at this point of time their food still quite easy to prepare as they eat so little.
Zita,
When I brought my baby for 5 month jab, my pd ask me to start porridge. So i think it is ok to start. But I didn't cos my baby not very good at eating yet. Maybe I'll wait till he can sit up more steadily without always bending down to do sit and reach!
