Hi Vivian, u can refer to this website for ideas. http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/babys-first-foods.html
http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/FruitRecipes.htm
My boi is turning 7mths on 18th & i started organic brown rice/oatmeal cereal since 18th Dec. Have given Avocado last wk & will b giving butternut next wk.
Will just give my boi fruits/veg/cereal/bm at least until 1yr old. All else will wait.

Not too sure abt Red Whole Grain Rice tho but I would advice not to put Gan Pei(dried scallops) as it's also seafood so best to avoid since your bb still very young.

Zolldoll, i'm just hoping that my boi will learn to appreciate fruits & veg fr young cos I find alot of parents having big problems getting their children to eat veg. Moreover more fruits & veg will lead to a healthier lifestyle. Keeping fingers crossed tat my method will work tho. 
Dear Mag,
Great Big Thank you for your sharing, can I know what is chinese name for Butternut? is not pumpkin right? How do you cook Butternut beside mentioned from the website? Can I steam it or anyways to reserve it higher nutrition when cooking? I abit stress also come to cooking for baby because I myself dun cook and never hand on in the kitchen, out of sudden want me to cook all these, headache...How I wish there is someone can organise the class for cooking baby foods. I mean Balance Nutritional foods for baby. Ya good idea for the wolfberries, hee hee..many thanks!!!

Hi Vivian, u r most welcome. Dun worry, we're all still learning & hope we can share our experiences.
I dun know wat's the chinese name but if u want u can show the picture to the seller or just tell them "hor lor kim kuay" & they might know but chances not high tho cos butternut is not common in our Asian culture. I just saw that Giant sells them too @ $7/kg.
Butternut is very similar to pumpkin except it's sweeter according to wat i was told. Baking/microwave is the best but u can steam too in order to retain max nutrients. I personally prefer to steam until nuah nuah & mash it then feed but dun know how it'll turn out. Will try first then update u. If my boy is ok wif it then I'll add it into his cereal.
Dun b too stressed cos I'm not a gd cook myself too so I did alot of reading on the net & fr books so still trying out. It isn't as difficult as i thot it would be.
BTW, u SAHM or FTWM?

Hi Zolldoll, there r alot of fruits that babies can take. U can look inside here for some suggestions http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/fruits-for-baby-food.htm
mummy_j,
Ikan bilis either u grind to powder or after u cook as whole, just remove b4 u feed bb.
Best to grind then at least all nutrients will b consumed.
Zolldoll,
BTW just to share wif u, I've given my boy avocado, butternut, french beans, sweet potatoes, & prunes so far. All mixed wif cereals. How old is your boi now? Mine's turning 8 mths next wed.

Mag,
My boy is now 14 months. He is at the stage whereby he crawls everywhere, is learning to walk, veyr difficult now cos i am pregnant with the second one, and i still gotta run around with my son. He is at this very naughty stage, full of tantrums and sometimes crying and screaming to get what he wants. This pregnancy i hope to have a little girl, but will only know the gender next month.

Thanks mag,
Just seen the gynae yesterday and at 16 weeks still cannot determine the gender as my baby crosses the legs. It has been so each time i visit my gynae. Think i may have to wait for my detailed scan. Ya my boy is seriously hyper and i find it tedious to catch up with him now in this stage. But what to do, i prefer to suffer all at once ha ha..

Gezz, not so true for my case inmy first pregnancy. My son also crossed legs and cannot see till the 21 weeks detailed scan. My gynae told me it was 85% girl, but turns out 100% boy in the detailed scan. I have heard bout this crossing legs version, but i still wont be convinced till it is all confirmed. I just cannot wait ha ha..
Hi Vivian,
I have a 9 month old baby gal and I have been using this book as a guide to provide homemade baby food and purees for her meals. And she love all the things that I have made for her.

Hi Mummies,
just to this with you. My daughter is taking care by my MIL. She adds pumpkin, meat, fish, brocoli, potatoes in her porridge everytime. My gal loves the porridge very much so we do not have any comments so far. One day, we realised that my daughter skin become yellowish and we think that is bcoz she tooks too much pumpkin and we stop this immediately. Although the porridge is really nutricien but think every food to our kids should be moderate. We learn from our mistake and luckily she is ok.

Hi Vivian, there are many ways to prepare porridge for BB. My 6.5mth old boy takes brown rice porridge cooked with carrots, a piece of garlic and a dried scallop. I remove the scallop before feeding him. You can mesh the carrot up if you want to give it to BB.
For my own convenience I give him Ella's Kitchen organic baby food together with his porridge.
http://organicbabyandtods.blogspot.com/
Have fun. I am enjoying introducing all the fruits and vege to BB now. It's so lovely to see his big silly smile when he enjoys his food. Oh, he loves to suck the food out from the Ella pouches. So I always carry it with me when we are out, just in case!!

<font color="0000ff">Dear Little Hannz,</font>
Thank you for your advise. There was once I also cooked pumpkin into his porridge everydays. Luckily nothing happen to him.
<font color="0000ff">Dear Ange Tan,</font>
Thanks for the organic website, it comes in handy as i will try it when we are out from the house whole day and there is no access to the solid foods as I am still hesitate to let him try the porridge outside

Hello Eileen,
To make purees:
If you are planning to make pear puree. Remove skin from pear, remove seeds and core. Cut the pear into chunks. Place chunks into a clean pot (ensure there is no oil residue. I suggest you get a brand new pot just for bb's food) Fill just enough boiled water to cover the pear and boil over low heat until the chunks are soft. Let it cool. Once cool, you can either blend them in a blender or mash them with a fork, depending on how your bb likes her food. Some babies like their puree chunky, some prefer it nice and smooth. Let your gal tell you what she prefers.
Hope this info is useful.

Hi Eileen, you are welcome
Yes, you can puree veges, fruits and meat. However, I don't recommend you to make meat "purees" for freezing. I think it is healthier to eat meat freshly cooked.
As for the fruit and vege puree, yes, you can freeze them in little containers and reheat them for bb for her meals.
Suggested fruit & vege for puree:
Broccoli, carrots, spinach, sweet potato, pumpkin, peas, apples, pear, banana (not suitable for freezing), peaches,strawberries, blueberries.
Just to name a few..

I've just started giving my boy alphabet pasta & he loves it http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/pastababyfoodrecipes.htm.
Mummies wif babies >8mths can give puffs like this http://www.cheerios.com/ourCereals/Cheerios/Cheerios_home.aspx cos it has lesser sugar compared to other puffs & is healthier.

Eileen,
I had these problems too just 2-3mths back. The only solution I can tell u is u need to use your finger instead of spoon. If this method fails then I advice u to stop all semi-solid feeds for a few days & just give milk. I did finger feed & ever stopped for 5days & after that my boi's appetite came back. Dun worry, baby will not starve. When their appetite comes back, they will eat much more.
Make some prune puree for your baby if constipation.
Vivian,
u r most welcome. Your boi's age very near to mine so u can intro yogurt to your boi already so as to give him additional calcium & followed by cheese.

Hi Eileen,
Prune won't cause phlegm, apples & banana will. Prune must add a bit of water when u blend so as to get a smooth consistency.
Normally will take half a day to 1 day for the prune to take effect.
If she cannot sleep well at nite & wakes up crying, mayb u can apply teething gel.
U r most welcome. I hope i'll b able to help u & your baby.

Hi Vivian,
I gave my boi this http://www.yobabyyogurt.com/products/YoBaby-simply-plain.cfm cos it's plain & safe for babies wif no added sugar. I preferred to add my own fruit purees. But this could only b found @ Thomson Plaza Fairprice Finest ORGANIC SECTION, not dairy section. I've been to >30 supermarkets but couldn't find this, most of them carry this http://www.yoplait.com.au/multipacks.aspx?ID=1096 I din feel comfy wif this cos too many complicated ingredients.
I actually used Yobaby as a yogurt starter to make my own cos too troublesome to buy. If u want, I can teach u how to make. Only need an airtight container, fresh full fat milk & half container of Yobaby yogurt. No need yogurt maker at all.
