Apple/Pear Juice Puree
I dun use the bottled puree..what I did was to slice and peel the fruits and use the grinder..when he was abt 5 mth, I used the finer blade in the grinder and fed him with the juice. However, now I use the broader blade and feed him some bits of the flesh.
I notice that his poo is softer after feeding the pear puree...so now I will prepare pear puree if he show signs of constipation
Porridge
MIL came yesterday and commented that I used too little meat and therefore my porridge is not sweet..so I let her cook. In the end, the pork meat is more than the rice..ha ha. But hor my boy still does not like it. The verdict - it is not my problem. To make him finish the porridge, she add a little of soy sauce. I think if wanna put soy sauce, I will buy better brand one..I rem my mum used to buy kikoman.
Talking abt soy sauce, when my #1 was 5 mth old many years old, she had sudden outbreak of hive coupled with eczema which lasted for almost 2 mth..we visited the PD derm at NSC and she told us to stop "preservative" products, incl cow milk. Soy sauce was one of them cos of dunno what ingredient. Kikoman was exceptional. But diet restriction did not help and we switched to TCM. The EYS doc advised me not to restrict too much..a little bit of everything is ok except chillies, nuts and seafood. We heeded his advice and notice that her condition did get better.
Milk feed
Thanks mummies for assuring me..I can't help worrying cos MIL kept saying he is not drinking enough. But when I told her that I am giving my bb 2 cereals feed (breakfast and dinner) and I porridge (lunch) feed per day..she said I shd give 1 cereal feed (BF) and 2 porridge feeds (Lunch/dinner) to keep him full. I explained to her (countless times) that cereal is more nutrition..somemore I dun give plain rice cereal, I used multigrain/brown rice/ barley/oatmeal and the crucial thing is I can add FM with cereal. I am so tired of explaining to her that rice/porridge is plainly CARBO - MILK is better. Hiaz..her food pyramid (Porridge - cereal - FM - BM) is totally opposite of mine (BM - FM - CEREAL - Porridge).
