not advisable to cook food for too long....wot u can do is once cooked, u blend it then mix into food...not necessary must give porridge all e time...
how old is ur boi n wot is e texture/consistency of e porridge u give?
Don worry, I don cook too long. You mentioned about potato, sweet potato, you mean only give bb this by itself, how to cook, normally I jus add in the porridge. My sil sometimes feed him with rice and soup.
or u can choose to add vege or meat stock to thin it....
That means if I wan to give him for example potatoes and carrots today , do I blend them together or give seperately ?bpquek, for potato n sweet potato, i always cut into small cubes then steam....then when cooked i will blend until smooth....it is v thick, so my maid normalli add milk to thin it b4 serving with other purees
for me steaming is v convenient cos jus put water n turn on, dunnid to look after or stir
i cant imagine if i have to eat porridge everyday lei....when my boi turn 9mths, i will start givin him pasta n macaroni also.....i found some rice pasta which is suitable for my boi now but he still dunno how to chew, so wait a while more then give him....
but sometimes in a rush, i will steam in same bowl, so become mixed
That means for example I intend to introduce pumpkin , so I let him try . Apply four days rule . Then for the rest of the week can continue pumpkin . Next week , I can start to rotate like today potato tomorrow pumpkin , next day sweet potato . Am I right or I misinterpret wad you meant ?Carol, i prefer to give seperate so tt they can taste e flvours if individual foods
different color vege per week is when u first intro new foods....
if ur bb already tried alot of different types of foods, then u can rotate by per meal or per day basis
like my boi:
breakfast - carrots with potato
lunch - sweet potato with spinach
dinner - oats with apricot
this is to help u ensure bb has a healthy mix of different veges
yupzyupz!! correct!!! as long as during n after 4 day rule he is as usual, no rashes or other symptoms, means he is ok, can go ahead n add e new food into his menu!!
in simple does it mean tt if intro new food to eat then continuos 4 day see if he has rashes all this huh ? if 4 days ok liao then can continue to give right ?
not onli look out for rashes...must look out for other things like lethargy, abnormal behaviour, breathlessness, swollen/puffy eyes, etc....rashes is one of e mild symptoms....
How come so many authors one ? Or is it all consolidate into a book itself ? Hw much isit btw ?e authors: anna jacob, pauline chan, samantha thiessen, janie chua and wong yuefen....
jus go to any popular n ask for "firstfoods"...they can check for u
oic so all consolidate into one book one huh .
Yup . It's just written by 5 authors .
yeah, same here...I prefer to give separately as well, abit troublesome, but its ok :smile:Carol, i prefer to give seperate so tt they can taste e flvours if individual foods

Carol, spinach is a plant tt is able to store alot of nitrates....but they need to have a supply of nitrates (chemical fertilisers) before they can absorb n store nitrates....
