Rafique had been introduced with solid foods since he was four months old..kenapa x tunggu 6 months??banyak sebabnya..pertama sekali rafique's demand during the day (kat rumah babysitter) is very high..he drinks every hour, 3.5 oz..and i couldn't supply enough..dan dia menunjukkan sangat banyak sign of readiness for solid foods..
lepas baca and seek advices from many sources termasuklah medical advices, i rasa i akan lebih gembira to feed him with solid compared to top up dengan FM..Maka disitu bermulalah misi menyuap solid food kepada Rafique..
i kasik dia makan sekali sekali jer sampai sekarang..bagi makan tengah hari..means that kalau weekdays dia cuma makan kat rumah babysitter jer laa..kalau kat umah ngan i, lapar jer sumbat susu, lapar lagi, susu lagi..suka hati dia laa nak gayut 14 jam pun..
what did i feed him??
actually belum try kasik porridge lagi kat Rafique..tunggu 6 months dulu laa.i rasa macam too heavy jer nasi untuk baby..hihihi..entahlaa..sampai sekarang masih dengan fruits and veges puree..i pernah try bagi ready-made like Heinz but i prefer home made..sbb ready-made ni i rasa mesti dia ada letak preservative..i'm just trying to avoid unnescessary things dari masuk badan Rafique..=)
his all time favourite is banana puree..
nak sediakan banana puree ni sangat senang yer kawan2..kupaskan pisang macam biasa, dan lenyek2kan macam nak buat cekodok pisang..to make it thin, campurkan dengan susu ibu yang enak berkrim disukai Rafique lah..=)
mashed potatoes
cara penyediaan mashed potato pun senang jugak..kupas kulit cam biasa, potong cube kecik2 supaya cepat dia masak, dan boil sampai dia lembik..dah lembik, boleh lah guna mixer untuk dibuat puree..bila dah nak feed baby baru campur sikit ngan susu ibu tu k..mesti baby suka..sebab mashed potato ni pun manis2 jugak rasanya..kekadang kalau pergi jalan, i beli jer mashed potato kat kfc tu...tapi mintak without gravy yer mummies..baby x boleh makan sebarang penambah perisa tau..
apple puree
cara penyediaan sama jugak macam mashed potatoes..kadang2 tu, just to make variety i campurkan carrot puree dengan mashed potatoes atau pun apple with carrot, apple dengan betik..just try and error..kekadang baby x suka..so, i play around laa..seronok tau prepare baby's food ni..teringat pulak zaman main pondok2 dulu..hikhik..
regardless the type of food i've prepared for him, i tetap akan cmpurkan dengan susu..sebab susu ibu sangat mudah dihadam.moga2 susu ibu akan bantu his digestive system in digesting all the foods..sebab kedua, i jadikan susu ibu sebagai thinning agent laa..baby especially who start solids at less than 6 months should be fed with foods which is only slightly thicker than milk itself..tapi by time amont of milk yang ditambah tu semakin dikurangkan laa..like Rafique sekarang dah pandai memilih..kalau food yang i bagi is too thin for him, dia akan sembur!!hadoiiyyyaiii..pandai betul!!
and last but not least..u should try to give ur baby the avocados..
Rafique likes it so muchhh..tapi harga dia RM5/sebijik..dah macam nasi goreng sepinggan..hihihihi..
hari ni i nak try buat sweet potato pulak untuk Rafique..ok laa..happy experimenting with ur baby foods peoples..
enjoy!!
