BABY FOODS 0-7 MONTHS

Hi All,

BABY AND TODDLER FOODS !!

Many viewers ask me about Baby and toddlers foods.But as already my daughter is 3 years old Iam not making those baby foods now.I noted all the foods and recipes which I gave her during early stage ,so I will post the recipes and details.As of now I will post only the recipes , if time permits I will make and take pictures and post.Hope this may help new mommies :))

The details are as below,

0 – 6 MONTHS :

From birth to 6 months I didn't feed anything other than Mother's milk..Not even water.Though my doctor advised me to start feeding fruit juices right from 5^th month I was not ready to take risk so I fed her only with mother's milk till 6^th month.

6TH MONTH :

Started with formula milk as Mother's milk was not sufficient for her.I started with 50 ml per day and slowly increased to 250 ml per day.

7TH MONTH :

I started solid foods from month 7.

First week : CERELAC

1. I started the month with Cerelac .When you are feeding your baby for first time pls give only 1 spoon and monitor baby's reaction for 24 hours , if the baby is ok and no allergy found then slowly increase the quantity.
2. Also don't make the cerelac into thick paste , add little more water and make it runny so that it is easy for baby to swallow.
3. I started her feeding with water also during first week , after feeding cerelac I will feed her with 2 tsp of water.

Second week : APPLE

1. Second week of 7^th month started with Apple.Apples are always less allergetic and also it never causes any constipation to kids so I started with Apple.
2. Cut apple into two halves and boil it till it shrinks and cooks very soft.
3. Peel the skin and mash the apples , if you need runny you can add little water too.
4. Don't add sugar , feed as it is.You can even grind it in food processor to make fine paste.

Third week : Rice porridge

1. Third week I started with Rice porridge .
2. Wash few tsp of rice well with clean water , in your food processor grind it to coarse powder
3. Boil one cup of water and add ground rice grids and boil till mushy.
4. No need to add salt or sugar , just feed it as it is.But pls note the rice must have cooked till mushy.
5. You can even feed cooked rice , grind cooked rice to fine puree using food processor and add little water and feed your baby.

I repeated the same for entire 7^th month.

8am : started her day with mother's milk.

9 am : Cerelac.

11 am : Again with mother's milk.

11 to 12 pm : nap time.

12.30 pm : mashed apple.

2 pm : mother's milk.

2 to 4 pm : nap time.

4 pm : rice porridge

After 4 pm I will not feed her anything except mother's milk..Night before sleeping around 9 pm I will feed her with 200 ml of formula milk. 

NOTES :

1. Always sterilize the vessels and spoons which you are using for kids.
2. Boil water in a wide vessel and add all the baby vessels in boiling water for 2 mins , switch off the flame and let it be for 5 more mins.
3. Then remove from water and used it for baby feeding.
4. Whenever you introduce a new food to baby , first feed them with 1 or 2 tsps and wait for a day to check allergy or rashes or continuous crying.If so then stop that food immediately and try after 1 month.
5. Mother's milk is always best for babies so feed your kid with mother's milk as much as possible and as many times as needed.
6. Once you start giving cow milk stop feeding formula milk.
