Starting baby food

Re: Starting baby food

Yup. U can just not give the cereal and give avocado instead…or puree it into his cereal and try that.

I would give it in its natural form though…just so he can taste the actual taste of avocado..

Slowly u can work ure way upto 2 times a day meal.

I honestly would let my kids taste what i was having… At this time its not a proper meal…just a tasting session… U arent replacing a bfeed with a meal.

Tjora cereal khilo do… After a bit… A bit of avocado… When u have enough food on the palatte… A lil here and there everyday and doon u will have worked your way upto a proper meal time, 3 times a day with2 snack times… Roughly. Every kid is diff… Appetite is diff

:slight_smile:

Re: Starting baby food

You don’t stop the food that baby is already taking.,3 day rule means ok he isn’t allergic to that, lets try the next one and then you keep adding a new food every 3 days..if you notice any difference in between, the food that was introduced the last is the culprit!

Lusi..my husbands logic s that if banana is mashed properly, it won’t cause constipation..have no idea how true is that but it worked for our son. It was his third it fourth food though.

Re: Starting baby food

if your baby is mashaAllah taking 2tblsp in morning then give avocado in afternoon just a spoon and increase amount slowly…

Lusi i think avocado is not sweet like banana and i havent heard any baby getting constipated with this fruit…and then they can easily take veggies too imo…

Re: Starting baby food

Thnx Khawa for reply…hmmmm so at this stage when he is only 6 months ull let him taste anything.?.( did I got u wrong)
ln yup I breastfeed him then after 30-45 mins I give him cereal..

Re: Starting baby food

Hmmm thnx gtg… Soo hmmm ok after 3 days when I will introduce something else .. So shall I keep giving him cereal and avocados m add another food n ?. Or just cereal and new food n stop avacadoo?
Or just reduce amounts n give anything?

Re: Starting baby food

Thnku akmoti:)
Wt if I wanna introduce 3rd new food?

Re: Starting baby food

I know guys I may sound dumb n I sorry for tht

Re: Starting baby food

ok…u try a new food out for 3 days… then move omnto something else…when u have enuff tried and tested food items..u start blending and making a menu…some cereal, veggy and fruit everyday…then comes the protein…

u build it up… so if ure kid can eat avocado, rice cereal, apple, carrot and bread… u can make an apple puree mix it with rice cereal and tahts bfast… then u steam the carrot and puree it…a few spoons a´nd taht is lunch… a lil pce of bread with some butter…that is dinner. aisay. the´next day u can use the avocado in the cereal, apple aisay hi… carrot puree a´nd bread…

shake it up…

and since he is only 6 months… its very lil he will be taking in…

build up the wardrobe and then just mix it up in diff ways…

and no question is stupid…we all learn in one way or another :slight_smile:

Re: Starting baby food

you can introduce like this…
for example:

1st food…rice cereal…on 1st dec 8a.m
2nd food…avocado…on 4th dec 1p.m…(rice cereal in morning 8 a.m)
3rd food…banana…on 8th dec 1 p.m…(rice cereal+avocado in morning 8 a.m)
4th food…apple…on 12th dec 1p.m…(rice cereal+banana in morning 8 a.m)

and give combos…once the 4 day wait rule is over…
like
sunday…rice cereal+banana
monday…oatmeal cereal+apple
tuesday…rice cereal+banana+avocado
wednesday…oatmeal+apple+banana
and so on…

Re: Starting baby food

Thnx akmoti completely helpfullll thanx aloooottttttttttt :slight_smile:

Re: Starting baby food

I gave him avacado today but he was making funny faces as if he is not liking it… But I did feed him.l coz he was not turning face away… He was making bad faces but was eating so I continued… Hubby was like don’t give him he doesn’t like it… But I gave him coz it’s healthy I hope I did right?

Ok today I gave him 2 tbsp rice but he wanted more .. So I jest finished and breastfeed him… How much maximum cereal I can give him?

Re: Starting baby food

^no problem AA…i was more upset than you when i was giving solids to my baby:cb: but learned with time…

if your baby wants more give him…but feed him milk first…
khawateen,sgc and DA told me i was confused too…

like feed the baby at (suppose) 8a.m… and then give solid at 10 or 11a.m when baby is semi-hungry…if he wants more at that time…then give him…

my baby used to eat one whole cup sometimes and sometimes just one spoon…so it depends on his mood :slight_smile:

Re: Starting baby food

Hmmmmm Lol ya I’ll learn owth tyme too :slight_smile:

Re: Starting baby food

we started with carrot puree, had that for 3 days. today i introduced him avocado, he was trying to understand the taste. i gave him the spoon with some avocado paste on it for him to play, he did clean spoon eventually. our ped told us to avoid rice cereal at the moment as it can cause constipation. however at the moment we are giving him only vegetables.

oh and my poor baby cough and congestion, we cleaning his nose with saline water but other then that what else can we do?
