Food Musing Part II

Food prepration is getting challenging, there is just too many varieties of food, that at times, I am not sure what to prepare. I recalled, how my mum will keep asking us " What do you feel like eating today?" Now I realise, she took effort in making sure we like the food.

For Joshua, I love preparing his food. I love having variety. I love noting down his menu for the week, making sure he touched on each of the food nutrients group. (Mummies, keep a note book, it helps!)

Just on his 8mth month, I introduced cod fish. He likes it better than "Wu Yu", probably because it is less fishy in taste, also, it has a nice buttery flavour. I realise if you cook it with brown rice, it helps to cover the fishy taste better (when cooking fish). The downside of meat, is constipation. Meat protein is generally harder to digest, which mean the baby tummy had to work harder. So, give just a small portion, and match up that day with a little fruit.

Introduced green peas, ya ya, you read stories how kids picks on green pea, trust me, even the Daddy does it now ( haa...) But! For the son, he simply loves it. However peas are hard to prepare, you have to steam it, peel of the skin. So for me, I bought Healthy Times green peas off the organic shop. Each time just throw a scope into the cereal or porridge.

Another food that he really loves is Yogurt. However, it gives him really bad fart, and leading to crankyness in the night. *signs of reaction to milk* Guess I would have to delay the introduction to his 9mth. My advise is to give organics or soy yogurt, if your baby don't take formula.

Planning to try frog legs, and nuts next or maybe more fruits. May just have cereal with fruits for lunch next week.
