racoon,
Guess we should only worry if our babies are eating all these stuffs and not growing. I also mashed green peas for my girl once but I think it taste horrible. My girl didn't complain, she gave me a funny look and finished up and when I tried it, I almost wanted to throw up haa... :")

racoon,
me same as you leh, I also cook the rice in the slow cooker first sometimes together with pork then around an hour before serving, I will throw in whatever veg or fish that needs to go in. For broccoli, what I did is to boil it for about 3 mins then cut it up before throwing into the slow cooker, comes out quite ok, won't turn dark green.

My pasta recipe
* 1 fresh tomato
(you can puree it if you have a blender, but since i don't, i normally just use the centre portions of the tomato which is softer and easier to chop up into v tiny pieces/juice. i don't use can tomato puree cos more salt and preservatives)
* pasta 15-20g
* cheese (i use normal grated parmesan. nvr quite bother abt salt content cos only use sparingly)
* 2 brocolli florets
Boil pasta in saucepan for 1/2hr till it's real soft. Separately boil/steam brocolli florets and chop pieces after cooked. When pasta nearly cooked, heat up tomato in saucepan. Add brocolli, pasta and cheese. Stir till cheese melt (which is v fast) and serve.

what is the different between mylar n helium balloon huh ? isnt it the same ?
Augbaby,
I give General Mills Cheerios (yellow box) . You could give yr baby when he knows how to chew.
See their site:
http://www.cheerios.com
BTW, that's the only one I give. Other brands, I boycott. It's a very big box so you could actually share with other mommies who live or work near you. Could be found in cold storage and marketplace, the more upmarket supermart. Sold out very fast.

HoneyB,
I never dig the seeds out from the tomato. I guess you can do it if you want to. Kiwi also have seeds and I give him kiwi. So far so good.
The pasta is not dry cos the tomato "puree" acts as a bit of a sauce. Since I don't put a lot of tomato, it's not v saucy. It just coats the pasta nicely and makes it damp and not so dry.
piyo,
I don't use ABC pasta cos I can't find it. Anyway, there's a lot of tiny pasta in the market. Eg. couscous and those little star shaped pasta purchased from Jasons or Cold Storage. Do a google or wikipedia search and you'll know.
I use normal tomato. I think any kind shld be fine lah.
On pasta recipe...
If your bbs have started on minced pork (mine haven't..), can add that to your tomato too to make bolognaise. Shiok!

I serve cheerios as snack, without milk. Can be heaty due to the iron component so must give water and fruits to baby too.
Comparing to other baby snacks available, cheerios is healthier.
The other brand of cheerios is from Nestle. I boycott Nestle due to their history. Go and find out their history.

Suitable cheese include parmesan, cheddar and some others, from what I read somewhere. And I think Amy (was it Amy?) also mentioned some time ago when she said she cooked baked pasta for her baby.
Anyway, just chanced upon this link. Check it out. May answer your qn:

augbb,
I gave my maid some basic instructions to cook lor, like alternate the different categories of food by day according to the availability in the fridge, and steam this, puree that. She quite smart so no prob. Once Justin never poo for 1 day,s he got worried and add a lot of sweet potato for his porridge the next day adn he pooed more. SHe even know how to add 1/4 tspoon of flaxseed to his bfast porridge. She also now can tell me Justin's poos stinks if he eat egg that day so i think i can rest assured liao.
I shd try not to add too much pattern if not scared she confused. But when i want to try new things, i'll be in the kitchen instead of her.
My MIL dun know how to give variety leh. She also cook all the vegey very long until no nutrients liao. So its easier to give maid instructions than to give MIL.
I'm like u, wish to be a SAHM sometimes so i can be in charge of his meals. It feels good to know u r feeding ur baby all the nutritious food. Altho my maid can do it, but it feels good to do it personally for ur baby cos we'll add in that additional teaspoon of love in it....hehe

HoneyB,
Actually, I'm still new into baking. Too paiseh to share recipes. Anyway, you could try the following site...
http://www.cupcakefun.com/
Augbaby,
yeap, it's the toasted whole grain oat cereals. The babies at the moment are chewing using their gums so biscuits, cereals, soft fruits like papaya, kiwi, banana etc should be fine for teaching them to chew. Think apple is still a bit hard, unless you cook it.

Glad you like those baby clothes, the little white flower dress very pretty hor, I love that so much but was thinking no point keeping cos white will turn yellow, my niece cannot fit hopefully your girl can fit else I'll be very sim tia :")
Ha, I don't have a particular place to shop lah, most of the time its my sister who will buy clothes for Hannah, she adores her little niece and is a shopaholic herself plus she travels around the world thus my girl's clothes is from everywhere, I'm happy for my sister to buy more clothes back hee.
Augustmum,
Thanks for the link, will check it out. I like to bake too. I make pineapple tarts and butter cookies for CNY and occasionally cakes but don't know why I always fail at muffins. The 1st time I baked muffins they turned out like rocks, 2nd time they turned out like huat keuh haa, thought maybe I'll try my luck with cupcakes.

Wah, I've learnt a lot just reading about the stuff everyone feeds their babies!
I'm SAHM so sometimes I'm so tired to cook so many different varieties! But the slow cooker idea is very good, tx! - But do I have to steam the veges first before throwing in the cooker? Will it be soft enough if I throw in raw?
Leia - thanks heaps for your pasta recipe! It sure looks like a great, fuss free meal to have.
Cheerios : I love it! Big pack also never mind - I also eat! Sometimes I mix it with the Yoplait baby yogurt, which my girl loves!
Er, what is BIY??

Hi Sk,
if you are throwing in green leafy veg, just need to chop it up and mix it with the rice, I normally throw in about 40 mins before serving so that its cooked but not overcooked. If its Brocolli florets, then I'll normally boil it first.
BIY stands for Bake It Yourself :")
