We are making progress eventually.
Thanks to the Mamas that made me understand it's a gradual process.

My baby now opens mouth by herself. Takes like 5 to 6spoons and that is it. I know we will graduate to finishing a bowl soon.

Am worried about water, her poop is now thick, what's the recommended water consumption per day for above 6months?

Halleluia!

My hubby suggested i put my baby's food in a bottle. I tried it twice yesterday and he finished all. But I'm not sure I'll keep doing that sha, he needs to learn with spoon.

As per water, give as often as u can especially as the weather is hot now.

Yes i cooked before blending.

Good afternoon mamas, I made potato purée for my baby yesterday, I put the rest in the freezer to be taken today, I brought it out this morning to thaw and I don't seem to understand the texture after it defrost. Is it that potato purée should not be frozen?

I'm sure it can be frozen. But i would suggest next time u put in the fridge, since you know you would be consuming the next day. How was the texture after reheating Foods can be frozen for up to a month and refrigerated up to 3days.

it wasn't as smooth as yesterday's own, maybe I didn't blend that portion properly cos I had to blend in bits cos I used shake and take blender.

Thank you ma'am.

Yes it's normal for the texture to be like that. I preheat it. it's the ice that makes it get that texture and when preheated the water overdilute the food. It's normal. Sometimes I dont refrigerate,I consume immediately and if I do refrigerate i use his powdered formula to thicken again.

Carrots, green peas and sweet potato.

Please at what age can they start taking broccoli and yogurt.

HolySteph:
Boiled baby rice, with broccoli, fish and sweet potato.

Note: I added sweet potato to the recipe to sweeten the meal.

I started broccoli immediately after exclusive. Depending on the Yoghurts, unsweetened(probiotic precisely) is best recommended for them you can start from 8months because yoghurts are diary, you have to let your baby's digestive system mature for it. My thoughts.

Thank you

rvpbae:


Do you use your normal blender to make these purees? Or you got a seperate one?

I was going to ask this question... Thank God you did

The only fruit I cooked a bit was apples. I then blend after it has cooked a bit.

Every other fruit I mashed or blended as they were.

General for other purees I cook first then blend afterwards as different items take different times to cook. And also the cooking also makes the blending much easier, and you can control the texture better that way as well.

Thanks so much mamas for d prompt replies, my baby just clocked a year and I'm so done with cereal. I just introduced him to proper family meal and he's been cooperating so far coupled with d recipes I got here, yesterday I tried something new, I blended plantain with dates and added soyabeans while cooking. It turn out well and tempting but I didn't have d time to snap pics, I know it's some crazy combo but I was happy trying it because my baby took it so well
