Btw, personally i do find bake stuff more heaty. Coz i always get sore throat after eating cookies. Thus, i was wondering if baked pumpkin are heaty too mar?
Oh yar last week, one mummy advised me to get organic teething gel but i went to Vivo yday but no organic teething gel too. May i know where can i get it? The teething phase is getting into me. Sleepless nites too.

manunited, recently Enyu is having red rashes on her back too but it goes off after a few days. We applied aloe vera cream on her back and let her sleep in aircon. So far the red rashes are gone. We did bring her to see PD but he said it is due to hot weather. Just make sure ur boy dont have any fever.

i extract from online:
<font color="0000ff">How do I cook a Pumpkin?
Pumpkins may be poached, boiled, steamed or baked. Please be aware that Pumpkins tend to loose their nutritive value with prolonged cooking. Baking pumpkins for homemade baby food will ensure the most nutrients are retained for your baby. A Pumpkin must be cooked immediately after you have cut it open or you will find a brownish-blackish mold begin to immediately set into the flesh.
Once cooked, Pumpkin should be used and/or chilled immediately. If you will not be using the cooked pumpkin immediately, store it either pureed or in the cooked chunks, in the freezer. it does freeze well. The cooked pumpkin will turn a brownish orange so don't be alarmed when you peak into the bowl and find that color.
Baking pumpkins, like many other fruits/squashes may be the best choice of cooking for optimal flavor and nutrient retention
When scooping out the "meat" of many winter squash types, you may encounter some very hard "strings". These strings are actually the veins of the shell.
Look at the acorn squash or sugar pumpkin and notice it's ridges. Between these ridges are the "veins" or strings that you may find once you have cut and then baked the squash or pumpkin.
To avoid getting these hard little strings in your puree, scoop the insides out gently and not too closely to the shell. If you have baked your squash or pumpkin enough, these strings or veins will easily fall away from the shell as the meat is separated from it.

einnoc,
steaming is one of the best way to retain nutrients. But sometimes some food tends to be watery after steaming, eg. pumpkin. And due to that, nutrients will get lost becos it went into the water. So boiling is even worst, alot of nutrients get into the water. Baking is dry heat, so some recipe will need to pour bit of water into the baking tray and all water will dry off moisturize the oven and ur food will not have any nutrients wastage. Though most chinese old folks say will be heaty. I bake sweet potato recently but i think sweet potato bit dry so can steam lah. Heaty or not, got to see my girl's poo, if she constipate then next time i will steam. So soup hor, most pple say drink the soup, the things inside no nutrients liao.
For now i think pumpkin, peas or sometimes sweet potato, you may like to be press through a sieve if u wan a smoother puree.

MTDT,
I read that any water from steaming, use it to thin the puree instead of using plain water so dun waste the nutrients, sometimes i tot aiya drink it myself haha. Tat time i steam apple, so the plate got apple liquid, i use to blend the apple, to make it thinner. If thin like water can serve as juice.
U feeling better liao bo??? U having fever is it?

i also steam pumpkin to make into puree but i think it's really dry cos zach's poo is very solid-looking.
as for steaming/puree-ing food, i am using the avent steamer/blender and it's pretty handy. once u steam finish, just invert it and the water from the steaming will be used to thin the puree during blending. it saves a lot of time and can be used for meat/fish in future.

I use the same blender too. It's quite expensive but I think it's quite worth it coz it's almost hassle-free.
manu
Oh no, i hope yr little one gets well soon.
Is he still on BM?
Ainsley
Think butternut squash is the ang moh version of pumpkin. I don't think I should buy that. Since I don't see my girl eating butternut squash when she's older - it's just one food we don't eat in day-2-day diet.

Ains, ya lor.. The avent one really tempting ley, but compared to normal blender like super ex orh? Wonder if its worth since i'm using it for awhile only.. But plan to have #2 so can use it again.
Shay's taking 2 scoops of cereal in the noon and veg / fruit puree in the evening. Sometimes she dun finish it coz she still prefer to go for milk.
