preparing baby food - what i do
so far i've prepared the following food for baby in chronological order:
- brown rice cereal (EYS w/si shen powder)
- sweet potato (steamed and mashed in puree)
- apple (steamed and blended)
- porridge (i blended the rice grains before cooking): rejected
- fish (steamed and mashed): rejected
- carrot (organic baby jar)
- nestle rice cereal (i personally find it sweet!): developed allergic reaction
- pumpkin (steamed and blended)
- spinach (steamed and blended)
next on the menu: papaya - was going to try banana but fruit seller said baby will have phlegm if eat too much banana.
i prepare small portions normally - enough for 4 days and will freeze into cubes. to prepare, i thaw in the fridge first until its watery. i will prepare the EYS cereal (pour hot water to mix, put on small fire to cook for 2 - 3 mins) before mixing together with fruits/vegetables. temperature usually just right when both mixed together.
currently 1 meal is replaced with solid food and i intend to replace 2 meals once she turns 7 mths(which is this weekend). to maintain milk supply, i have to pump during the time that she 'misses' her milk feed.
i also use the 'first foods' book as a reference but never actually follow coz i've always been cooking anyway.

Augleo: Would like to prepare sandwiches with u...wanta grab the food together & prepare?? I was thinking of preparing crabstick/egg mayo sandwich but donno whether bm feeding mummies can eat or not....
Think really need to think of alternate plans if it rains...e.g. if raining @ 9am, then all mummies, daddies & babies just go to one of the ppl's house & mj session....cos these few days been raining non-stop

I tried cooking carrots for my girl yest. v easy to prepare. i just cut the carrot into small cubes...then i cook the carrot cubes and porridge together. simmer for awhile, then i off the fire. dun open the cover of the pot. then about 1/2hr later, just on the fire again. u test test...see if the carrots are soft. if they are...u just take some of the cubes out and mash with a spoon. it should be soft enough to be mashed easily. if your porridge is ready, u can also add some to the carrots lor. i also added some broccoli. The porridge vvv tasty leh! Porridge can be cooked faster if you soak the rice first. if can blend, better still.
Kelley...
Mine is not easy baby leh!! she's only easy to take care when i bring her out. but at home....she demands for my attention!! i must do everything together with her...even watching tv!! i cannot imagine having another bb so quickly! ahahaha!

gene: i throw everything into the blender and blitz it into pulp. I also add soup (from which the pork and everything was cooked in) to make it easier to blend.
I send u coupon tonite ok? going to work now. slept at 6:30am this morning cuz my gal wants to be hugged or carried to sleep ... *faint*

my fish porridge v ez one.
i just cook the porridge in slow cooker. then at the end of it all, i will add 2 pieces of threadfin. when done, i will scoop up more fish than porridge, mash e fish n feed. i dun find the porridge fishy at all. i like it so i'll eat whatever is remaining, which is quite a lot!

Thanks Kate for the reminder! i get the maid to cut the portion of fish...and i keep asking her if there's bone. i never go and feel! she always say dun have and i find threadfin have v little bone but of cos must still be careful. i will check once more when mashing the fish.
Kelley,
i heard if the fish cook too long will become hard so i cook it only towards the end lor. i tried using cod b4...that was fishy!! n oily!! i think Caitlyn is so BIG cos i eat cod fish almost everyday and i bf her and i think my milk must be ultra oily!
