Hi Serene,Dear mummies,
I wanna give tofu to my dear son, which type should i buy? And what do cook it with?
Thanks
Diymummy,Sorry mummies, may I ask what age do you start giving tofu??? I've been dragging it coz on websites I read that babies might get soy allergy?? I have allergic baby so I'm very scared to intro tofu.
Shulyn mummy, can the "shui tofu" be bought from supermarket? My house downstair market dont't have tofu stall...
Hmmm, i understand being a mummy is not easy de...Shulyn mummy, my boy just turned 10mths. He almost everyday have rashes. Right now the foods that he can take are pumpkin, sweet potato and potato. He dont't like brocolli and he's allergic to carrots. I've not tried peas yet. It's quite hard to start a new food... coz I need to do a new food, then if rashes, feed non-allergic food for a week for rashes to clear, then start another new food. Then at 7mths he got diarrhea from salmon so pediatrician advised to stop all vege for 1 month. Can really go nuts man... So now I'm slowly starting protein food.
No worries diymummy,Hi Shulyn mummy,
Thanks. Your info is very useful for me. I've also thought of egg.. But I also scared allergy. I guess I just have to start bit by bit lorr...
Yeah I saw your thread about the positive babies. I doubt I have the time to bring him there Weekends always packed with bringing him to parents or in-laws place lahh and all these things...
Nope, all tofu taste different... The 水豆腐 i bought from market doesnt taste as good as those i tried. My mum bought the Organic tofu from supermarket for our family, its quite nice. Silken tofu also taste better than 水豆腐 so i often mix 水豆腐 with cereal or porridge etc...i started my girl on tofu around 11mths old cos i also worry bout allergy.. so far she is allergic to ikan billis n mackeral...she is ok with soy though..i bought organic 棉豆腐 for her usually...
btw, does all tofu taste the same? im someone who dosent like tofu but then i tried the tofu i gave her n it taste very nice! hehe. taste exactly like those soy bean drink .. but then the previous tofu ive tried all rather tasteless... so wondering if all tofu taste the same?
HeloHi Serene,
I always go market and buy those 水豆腐, cos those silken type contains preservative and you can get it anywhere...
For me, i will mix together with porridge cos Treston doesnt like to eat it alone. I tried using Egg yolk, mix with Tofu and some stocks to steam, its like chawamushi..Haha...I also steam the tofu and mix in his cereal with other stuffs like pumpkin, banana, cheese etc...Cos tofu alone, he doesnt like...
Ok thks stonston, u mentioned to keep the tofu properly, issit better if i kept it in a airtight conditioner, how long can it last to kept in the fridge?Be careful about what type of tofu you buy. Some tofu uses EGG as it's ingredients (the round types).
So far I only use organic silken tofu.
Silken tofu sold in our supermarkets mostly do not have preservatives as they are vacuum sealed & chilled. Tofu does not spoil easily if kept properly.
If you are worried, try making your own soy bean drink at home to let baby try before giving tofu. If your baby is allergic to soy, then at least home made soy bean drink is more mild than tofu.
