Babies below 10mths old

[justmint]

What ingredients have you give them in their porridge?

what veg?
did you give them choi sim, xiao bai chai, cabbage, lettuce, spinach (various varieties), potato leaves, long beans, french bean, sweet beans..

cos this site Make Homemade Baby Food Recipes, Homemade Baby Food Recipes, Solid Food Baby Tips, Baby Nutrition & more! does not have these vegs that asians eat..so I wonder am I able to give these mentioned above to my 7+mth old bb...

 

[rjj]

what i started with was just carrot and fish when he was about 8 mths old... after that then we started adding other things, such as brocolli, potatoes, mince pork, mince chicken, mince beef.... but is all gradual add one....

 

[~m3m~]

depend on whether ur bb is rdy for solid foods alrdy or nt. If spoon rch ur bb mouth but ur bb havent auto open the mouth n dun really knw how to swallow or even push ur spoon away then ur bb might nt b rdy for solid foods yet.:001_302:

Porridge abt 5mth+ would b better but sum bb dun like porridge 1. Once a day for porridge too. Solid foods given once a day till 7mths old coz milk is still the main intake for ur bb to grow well.

Hi Xue

I started giving my 2nd dd brown rice porrigde when she's 5mths because not satisfying 4 her when given oni FM. Oni brown rice cook wz fish then slowly add carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, broccoli, radish etc. At 5mths oni 1 meal per day when she's reaching 6mths then 2 meals per day. Alternatively can gave her some fresh fruit juice besides using veg.

Hi all, i'm new here.:shyxxx:

Read somewhere that if milk can't satisfy bb n has chewing motion when see adults eating, that's time to start semi solid. I started it with my IZ at 4mth (on and off, not everyday), mixed 2-3 teaspoon of rice cereal with EBM, he liked it. However, the WHO recommended that it's better to start solid till 6 mths coz some bb's digestive sys not development yet, might have food allergy if start earlier than 6 mths. So if you want to start, intro w/ 1tsp then increase day by day.

All bb are different, you'll know when they are ready.

carrots, potatoes, spinach, fish, minced pork, chicken, japanese sweet potato (taro), ikan bilis, salmon. mostly these ingredients.

Hi Xue,

I'm still feeding ds cereal for dinner whereby porridge for lunch. I think it should be alright to continue feed him cereal cos is different nutrients.:tlaugh:

My son started porridge 1 meal a day @ 6 mths, with cod fish. And now at 14 mths, we mix around, mince meat + fish or just fish. No other stuffs, if kids is to take veggie, it must b very soft. They may not be able to digest.
