Ellysia, Not very long to compile lar. I just wiki everything then cut and paste. Hehe..
The list is not to be taken too seriously. It's just a general guide. I'm also not too sure how much of each vitamin / protein our little ones should take daily. I would think it depends on their weight etc as well. So I'm not too concerned about that.
The list is mainly as a guide on what foods are good to mix so that there's a bit of everything inside. For e.g. Now I know never ever mix Sweet Potato with Carrots cos the beta-carotene is very high for both foods. And if I continue to feed her that over several days, she might turn orange. Of course, I dunno what is too high.. but I'd rather not try then wonder why she's looking more and more like a fat orange, if you get what I mean.
Good mixes may be things like:
- Butternut + Broccoli cos one is higher in carbs and Vit A while the other provides the protein, or
- Pumpkin + Spinach. One provides the Vit B while the other provides the Iron and Protein

Mag,
haa.. actually i have colleague who stay in condo and tat condo is one of my projects, but i won't want to go to my company condo in case any of the owners spot me.. not so nice.
Krispy,
My MIL said carrots cannot take too much bec' my hb sister become orange after take too much carrots when young. so we always feed carrots moderately.
Usually i dun give same thing for consequentive days unless i am testing tat item.. but other items will be different also. like yest i give cabbage, cauliflower, pumpkin and pear. today i give broccoli, avocado and pumpkin. tats why i have to do a big variety so tat i can mix and match to give a good variety.
thks for sharing.. me didn't really tink of the mixture of nutrients.. cos i tink one day doesn't matter as long as i rotate the food items.

Ellysia, yeah. I try to give a mix as well. Made 2 mixes per week and freeze them so Isabel could alternate her food every other day. Then, blur blur me made sweet potato and carrots as one of her mixes. I think I'll follow how you do it next time. Have more types of vege and fruit in her mixes. At least there won't be too much of something.
What's the zodiac for next year? Thinking of trying for another one, then can close shop liau.
Do the zodiac signs really dictate the character of our kids? I'm a monkey and I do find that I'm extremely cheeky and kiddish. Hubby's a snake... and gotta admit, he can be pretty vain at times. Hahaha... Any stories to share?

Seems like lots of mummies giving butternut. Seriously, I only heard of it when cactus said she fed that to her boy. Gotta go find it at NTUC this weekend liau.
Feifei, I gave my girl cheese last weekend. She loved it, but she was super hyper after that. Jumping here there and everywhere. Both hubby and I had a headache trying to find a grip on her cos we were out shopping.

Feifei, thanks for the heads up. Will try to find it at cold storage.
I gave her the kraft type from Cold Storage as well. The one which is packaged like a small sausage cos that one doesn't have added sugar, etc. I remember eating that when I was young, so was glad to see it's still in production.

Krispy,
u know wat i do.. i dun make 2 foods together. i pack them in separate container then if i i want to mix i thaw them on same day.
tat means i make sweet potatoes without mixing with any other items. then i make carrots without mixing with any other items. then if i want to give sweet potatoes with carrots on 1 sunny day, i just thaw 2 containers (one sweet potatoe, one carrot) and give in same meal.
In tat way, u dun have to worry abt mixing wrong stuff bec' u can always change if u want.
But tat will mean more work, which is why i take a long time to do the large variety of food.

Krispy,
I use avent cup, it can be used to store breastmilk as well as solid food. I put around 20-30ml as i give 2-3 cups per day. It also useful bec' if i want to give the food, i just warm it by placing the cup in the warmer, then i feed from the cup! so its v easy..
alternatively, u can use ice cubes and freeze them in cubes in ziplock bag, like wat cactus do.
Its good to store in make the food separately bec' if one food cause allergy, u dun have to waste the whole lot.
Oh ya the avent cups also quite cheap.. if u buy the big box, each cup only 20 cents i tink. the big box cost around $35 i tink, got 20 cups.

Has anyone tried freezing porridge? Wondering whether I should do that cos I'm going overseas in March and hubby has never tried making baby food before. I was thinking of making different foods to last 3 weeks and just letting hubby heat them up as required. What do you girls think?

Krispy,
didn't try freezing porridge before.
when my hb take care of bb, i didn't ask him to give porridge. i ask him to give cereal (which is ready cook) and then just mix in the puree which i thaw from the fridge. maybe u can try tat, it be easier for hb cos i dun tink they know how to prepare porridge..
