Jul,
Ya, my mum said she never fed us any puree, only porridge, and we all grew up well, what
Cookiezz,
Frozen food retains most of its nutrients, if you freeze and thaw properly. But I know, it's very diffucult and it's ultra challenging to change the mind of the old folks.
Milkway,
When your baby is ready for solid, first few weeks is for him/her to get use to be fed with spoon, not to replace a milk feed. Only when he can swallow well and can take a relatively bigger potion, then can slowly replace 1 milk feed with 1 solid per day. But if giving fruit puree, I still give him the milk as usual, if he is willing to take. Main nutrients are still from milk, not from solid. By the time when the baby can take solid to replace 1 milk feed, probably he is about 8-9 months already.
Food container
I bought those small containers from Daiso. I chose those sizes that is suitable for 1 portion of food, and of course that the container is meant for freezing and microwaving. It's like 6 containers for $2.

Hey Mummies

re: flipping
help! now that my bb has learnt to flip by herself at 4 mths old, she keeps doing it! she used to be quite a good sleeper, waking up only once throughout the night for feed. but now she wakes up twice at least. the first time is the normal feed and the second is usually when she flips on her own and wake up crying for help. i have to feed her again to get her back to sleep.
sigh...is it normal?

cookiezz:
i'm using Braun blender. the baby cube is just nice to store one meal of puree, can put into freezer and microwave oven
bernice:
my boy same as your girl, wakes up at 3-4am. last nite i ignore him for 1 hour, he eh eh on and off, then i was so scared that my #1 will be waken up by him, so no choice but to feed him. sighz
Re: puree
i personally think feeding puree at the beginning stage is good for baby to stimulate their taste bud. put everything into porridge then baby can't learn to appreciate different taste and texture. i used to make puree on weekends and freeze 1 week supply. just steam, blend, put into baby cube, freeze... done! so easy

puree
can i ask a question abt starting on puree? blur mummy here.... no idea where to start from. so i'd need to get a blender?
another question...so, does that mean that if we make and freeze like 1 wk supply, baby only eat that one thing for 1 wk? for starters, we're only suppose to make 1 item at a time is it? say apple puree, then only apple, cannot mix the fruits rite?
also, if we get the baby cubes, how many cubes do we feed the baby daily ah?

Hi mommies,
I thot bb on BM should start solid after 6 mths. Those on FM usually start 4 mths by mixing cereal into milk.

urgh!! can i juz rant here. upset wif my hb.
i'm sick today and the whole day i was struggling taking care of my gal. finally hb came home and i was like thanking God! halfway thru dinner, i felt so sick, i threw up what looked like breakfast lunch and my half eaten dinner. can't make it already, so went to rest and fell asleep for abt 2 hrs. i remember telling hb to wake my gal up and not let her keep sleeping. apparently, he didn't follow instructions. when i woke up, she was still sleeping!! i asked him, did u feed her, he said yes, but said she was still sleeping when he fed her (dreamfeeding)...so he thought just let her sleep lor. *faint* now my gal's sleeping schedule got disrupted and she's wide awake now. *cry* i'm so tired and still not feeling too good though better then earlier after 2 hrs of resting. *sigh* its tough being mummy!! and what do daddys know?????!! grrrrrrrrrr.......

Yes yes!! I agree with you guys. I also prefer to play safe when it comes to allergies, esp when Josh suffered allergy from what I ate when I bf-ing him!
But like I said lor, last generation's mentality is very different. Last time they never heard of such thing as peanut allergy. Let alone allergy until airways close up due to inflammation then baby die of suffocation from allergy!

Aiyah, sorry i forgot to inform you. Posted out liao!! You should get it tmr, or by Thurs latest bah.

<font color="0000ff">kiki - RE: PUREE</font>
so i'd need to get a blender?
<font color="0000ff">> it's not a must cos you can still blend/mash with hand, but more time-consuming. Plus a blender is pretty cheap. Good investment in my eyes.</font>
does that mean that if we make and freeze like 1 wk supply, baby only eat that one thing for 1 wk? for starters, we're only suppose to make 1 item at a time is it? say apple puree, then only apple, cannot mix the fruits rite?
<font color="0000ff">> for the initial stage, yes, only give 1 type of puree for a few consecutive days. But after you know your baby is not allergy to the veg/fruit, you can give different puree everyday. Mixing of puree is only recommended on a later stage, like 2-3 months after first introduced puree</font>
if we get the baby cubes, how many cubes do we feed the baby daily ah?
<font color="0000ff">depend. some eat more, some less. Good thing with baby cubes is that you can always start with 1-2 cubes. If you feel your baby hasn't got enough, just take our another cube and thaw</font>.

thanks for asking. yep feeling much better today already. not sure what happened ytd, memories of my 1st trimester came back when i threw up.
kam
thanks for answering my questions on puree. appreciate it! i've a few more questions if u don't mind.
1) so for starters, which types of puree shd we try to make? would fruits puree be a good start? if yes, what types of fruits to start with?
2) how to tell if puree has gone bad after its frozen? can freeze for how long ah?
3) so can we start puree at 4 mths or better to start at 6 mths? and how long does baby eat puree for before they can eat porridge?
4) when feeding puree, we shd reduce the milk feed right? so do we replace each milk feed with 1 puree feed? so for a start, just how many times puree a day?
oh..u mentioned before u bought small containers from daiso for puree storage. those can store how many ml of puree? smally smally ones?
ooops! sorry... so many questions!
