No i don't coz alicia doesn't like yogurt...i was thinking of following the super baby food book and giving 3 meals when she's about 8 months...
snowbear, do you really follow the book's suggestion of having super porridge and yoghurt as the 2 main meals?
The super porridge really sounds super!
Anyway when she was 6-7 months i fed her cereal coz it's iron-fortified. Only when she started on more meals then i gave her porridge as another meal (continued to give her iron-fortified cereal). Btw, Alicia also hates her egg yolk mashed into her porridge so that super porridge doesn't work for her... :tlaugh:
Like what annie said, adding bm will thin the puree, not thicken. If you're looking to thickening a puree, add more of the puree/cereal or add wheatgerm.
I used to express milk to mix with her cereal. Still do that sometimes. But very hard to get milk out from the breasts coz so long never express already. Nipples not used to the pump. If you're gonna express every day to put the milk into her food, the LC taught me to latch bb and pump at the same time to stimulate letdown. Do this for every feed for a week then your nipples will get used to the pump again. Alicia refused to let me do tandem pumping last time so i couldn't do it... she'd grab the pump, pull the wire, look suspiciously at the pump... :tlaugh::tlaugh:Now she lets me do it but she still eyes it suspiciously. She'd even help me hold the bottle. But i'm too lazy to do tandem pumping for every feed... plus i dun need to use so much milk...
