As-Salaam..
Tomorrow my daughter will turns 6 months old.. How time flies.. I'm so happy to the max.. I still can feel her kicking my tummy.. makes me feel complete on that time.. But why I still feel that I'm peggy rite now. WHY??? oh.. maybe just because i did not lost weight significantly after delivered.. huh..
Alhamdulillah, until now Iman was blessed with my breastmilk.. she will direct breast feeding if I'm around.. unfortunately she's not when with her Mak Lina, Iman's babysitter.. She will refused when her Mak Lina gave her with my frozen-thawed-warm breast milk.. huh.. kids nowadays.. too choosy..
I was really inspired with Puan Farah Farhan from Sarakids (her blog is a MUST read blog) and mommies out there who are exclusively breastfeed their babies.. Before delivered my baby, I wish I can.. I WANT exclusively breastfeed my baby until the age of 2 years old..
Before giving my baby with solids food, I did many surveys on what is the best for her age.. I WANT to give her best solid foods like many mommies do.. Luckily, I've found this page: Starting Solids Guide for Infants. They give us general guidelines in order to help us to start our baby out on the right track to a healthy life as such why we shouldn't gives our baby with solid food at the early stage.. Of course new parents like my hubby and I wouldn't know what it is all about.
Iman started introduce with solid foods at the age of 5 months.. I tried to give her bubur nasi at first but I assumed she's not like it as she did only eat for a few spoon. Then I tried to give her Nestum Cerelec, beras n soya.. and it last until today.. I try to change her nestum regularly with beras n susu, beras n soya and whatnot.. and I found that she's happily enjoyed her meal time.. siap tambah2 hokey.. huhu..
Quoted from the page..
Six to Seven Months
While continuing to give 4-5 feedings of breast milk or formula (24-32 ounces) and 4 or more tablespoons of cereal each day, you can now start to give well-cooked, strained, or mashed vegetables or commercially prepared baby foods. Start with one tablespoon of a mild tasting vegetable, such as green beans, peas, squash or carrots and gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day.
Start fruits about a month after starting vegetables and again, gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day. You can use peeled, cooked, or canned fruits (but only those packed in light syrup or water) that have been blenderized or strained
You can also begin to offer 2-4 ounces of 100% fruit juices. Start by mixing one part juice with two parts of water and offer it in a cup.
Like lactation counselor always said, breast milk only supplies all of our baby' nutritional needs at the first 4-6 months.. Obviously, now is the right time for me to give my baby food with good nutrition for her growth.. Yess, I WANT to give her the best..
Also found homemade baby food recipes when I read this blog.. ---> thepinkstilettos (another blog that I MUST read everyday.. huhu..) Thanks to her.. Need to compile food recipes for my baby from now on.. huhu..
