xiao yun,
i tried putting avocados and putting lemon juice on it b4 putting into freezer, still turns brown and tastes not as good. So, what i do now is i cut up the avocado into half, scoop half out for my son's immediate consumption and the bal half (with pit and skin), i leave it in a airtight container in the fridge for consumption the nxt day. i find that it tastes and looks better.
btw, jus curious, u put spinach into ur bb's cereal?
iso,
i cook celery with porridge. When it's cooked, celery is pretty soft and i notice my son is able to grind it down like he does with his carrot bits.

leila,
i tried soaking sliced avocados in water with lime juice and put in fridge. it still turn a bit brown. taste wise is the same to me. but i need to keep it for longer period of time. hence, i tried to freeze it.
and yes, i put spinach into cereal. in fact, i throw whatever i want to let bb try into cereal. not a big rojak. but 1-2 ingredients each time.
this is what i did for my own porridge too. throw everything inside. and my hb said i am cooking porridge for dog.

HAPPY CHILDRENS' DAY !
baby cheryl just slept. heehee. went to amk hub ntuc to grab pampers active and some pigeon wet wipes. for pampers active L is $45.95 for 2packs. each pack is 60pcs. XL is $45.95 for 3packs. each pack is 34pcs. so i happily grab 6packs of XL active. piegon wet wipes is $9.85 for pack of 3. there are alot more things on sale cuz it's the baby fair for the ntuc.
by the way, i have some enquiries. hope some mummies can help me.
some mummies from other thread advise not to give too much carrots because there might be an overdose of beta-carotene which is not good for the liver and might cause damage. but i always (or almost everyday) uses carrots though organic ones as the stock for cheryl's porriage lei. she is not taking the carrot physically but only the 'jing hua'. is this considered giving too much which might cause harm? any mummies use carrots everyday too or most of the time ?

tongtong
is it because shaun is not hungry yet? i am quite lucky that both of my kids behave quite well during meal time i.e. can sit still until they finish their meals most of the time. though they will get distracted but they still can finish the food quite fast.
if they are not concentrating on taking the food, i will keep the food away after a few attempts of feeding and try later.
A mummy shared her experience in one of the TV programmes b4. she said she would keep the food away until the next meal if her kids did not concentrate on eating. she would really let the kids get no food/snacks till the next meal, regardless of whether their kids get hungry 'cos she does not want to let her kids develop a habit of having snacks more than the main meal. 'cos some kids will snack a lot but eat very little during main meal. but, i think our bb is still too small to try this strategy lah.
i am against in switching TV programme or any shows during meal time to let the kids sit still 'cos if the kids eat while watching TV, it will affect their digestive ability meaning it's not good for the system and they can't fully absorb the nutrient. same as adult.
crystal
is there any reason that you give carrot to your gal everyday? 'cos of the taste or nutrient that you want to let your gal have? To me, nutrient is more important than the taste. So, I try to give more variety of food which are suitable for them to take at their age.
for the overdose of beta-carotene... can't help you much, i think it's better to check with the doctor.

it's because of both taste and nutrients i think. i once used pumpkin for her stock and she dislikes it so much. so i used back carrot and she is taking it so happily. carrot is just one of the ingredients i use for the stock. i do give her a variety as well but just that carrot is definitely one of it. so i just worry

Morning ladies.
Sunny,
I agree wif ur stand on NO TV, & food later if they appear not hungry. I tries 2 "create" fun & relaxed meal time 4 my bb. So far, my gal is well behaved during meal times 2.
I din really prepare stock lately. As I realized, the taste of the original veggies in the porridge is very nice and yummy. Esp I started to steam as per some of the mummies do here. Steaming really can bring out the flavor of the veggies. Nice! Nice!
Crystal,
U can try to steam pumpkin and add 2 the porridge. It will be tasty and sweet. I tried sweet potato porridge the other day. Sweet too. My gal loves both porridges.
I tried 2 mk the small "silver" fish stock 4 the porridge, then mashed pumpkin (after steam) into the porridge. Well, the taste is not sweet as compared to pumpkin porridge alone (meaning no stock preparation at all).

ya ang moh ones a bit different from what we feed our bbs, so one of the books looks q interesting cos got local (or asian?) authors.
crystal
not just bbs, but adults also can have overdose on carrots. there's also some advice against carrots too early on www.wholesomebabyfoods.com
leila
i find one avocado is too much for 2 feeds even, so prefer to keep it. i haven't tried cutting avocado in the morning and keeping in fridge till afternoon so not sure if that would make it brown also..

all u mommies very li hai le...started cooking porridge PLUS cook with stock somemore
my boy still having cereals as i no time to cook yet, but hope to start soon. Does anyone cook porridge without throwing in the veg? e.g can i puree spinach separately and only add into the porridge only when feeding time? thinking that should not cook veg for too long, in case nutrients reduced?

Just to share this website which I found on nutritional values.
Thought someone mentioned that corn have no nutritive value. But from the website, seems that corn contains more than just carbo leh...although i don't really know what they are..

um, i gt the fresh feeder already. you can let jass have it. i only need the medicator from you. thanks so much ! will tt you tonight as token is at home.
qoosan
not that kind of stock. it's too salty and high in MSG. what we meant by stock is boil water and add the vege to cook. then use the 'water' ie the stock to cook the porridge.

Lentils
Moms who wanna try lentils, this is the advice from a fren:
"try to get your hands on split red lentils (masoor dal). its the fastest to cook and easiest to digest. just boil in water for about 5 min until soft. u can mush further after that. can also cook it with rice to create a porridge.
another option is split mung beans without the skin (mung dal) - they're yellow in colour with the green outer bit removed. they take about 10-15 min to boil i think (i use a pressure cooker so my timings might be a bit off. basically cook till soft).
having written this tho, just remembered that proteins are suggested after 8-9 months, so u might want to wait a bit.."
cheers, bkkgal
