Baby Food Question
I made and am still making my own bub food. Adele started solids at 7
months and Samuel, because he was such a guts, at 3 1/2 months. It really depends on the baby. I discussed this with the child health nurse and she said to start slowly but to start to introduce. He is now 10 months and 11 kg. I use lean minced veal, chicken and mince. First I boil it to get any fat out of it (sometimes lean does not mean lean). It is then drained and I add all types of diced vegetables. Cook for 15 minutes then add either rice or macaroni. Cook for a further 15 minutes or until rice/macaroni is nearly cooked. I let it cool and then freeze it in 200g bags. I used to mash it but now he eats it as it comes. Michelle Adele 24/10/2000 Samuel 17/10/2002 |

Baby Food Question
On Wed, 6 Aug 2003 15:24:55 -0600, "Ali's Daddie"
wrote: I am posting this to 3 different NG's, but not cross posting. Alegra is not ready for solids yet. In fact, the pediatrician said that she will discuss with us the introduction of solids at our next visit (september 30th). 4 month visit. What I am wanting to know is how many of you make your own baby food? What kind of processor (blender etc) do you use? And lastly, where do you get the recipes? We are very seriously considering making Ali's food ourselves so that we can buy only organic veggies and fruit etc.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :-D thanx! We did this with a small plastic easy-to-wash food grinder. We cooked our own vegetables and meats, then used small amounts of soy formula to grind/puree the foods for our daughter. The food grinder was under $20 and she went from soy formula to real food. When she got teeth, we began by grinding it more coarsely, then transitioned to cut up food. |

Baby Food Question
I dont think I ever used more
than 2-3 jars of babyfood a day.(Cereal always made up part of her solid's intake, and by the time she was eating much more than a jar at a meal, she was eating at least some table foods.) I don't count cereal in the jars of baby food count. I don't know whether anyone else does or not. Right. I don't think anyone does. And my point was that by the time Shaina was eating much more than the equivilent of a jar of babyfood at a meal, she was already eating table foods, so we would have never used more than 2-3 jars a day. (So she might have had, say, cereal and half a jar of babyfruit at breakfast [with the rest of the jar the next day with more cereal], a jar of veggies and some finger foods at lunch, and maybe a meat-veggie 'dinner' [not the kind with all the fillers], and more finger foods at supper.) Actually I don't know why baby food cereals are such a good thing to use and why not just regular cereal. Well, if you are talking about hot cereals, in our house we don't really eat oatmeal or cream of wheat. The only hot cereal we eat, Wheatena, is pretty coarse for little babies. She did eat cheerios and things, of course. (Baby cereal was a big deal when it was introduced, not only because it contained iron, but because it could be prepared in just a few moments -- more traditional cereals available at the time had to be cooked for hours for babies.) The meat dishes were sort of disgusting, Shaina actually was on baby meat for a long time after she was on table food for almost everything else. She didn't seem to like the texture of real meat until she was a toddler. Naomi CAPPA Certified Lactation Educator (either remove spamblock or change address to to e-mail reply.) |
