Baby first food

Introducing baby to her first food is an interesting moment. Different baby acts differently on their first food. Some would eat what is offered but some refuse to eat at all. The majority swallow some and dribble the rest down their chin.

There are tonnes of baby food out there in the market but i personally prefer homemade baby food. Whatever you feed your baby there are few do and don't that you should follow.

  • Start with few baby spoon and each day increase by one tablespoon if your baby seems hungry
  • Start with one meal a day and increase it to two and three meals a day after 1-2 weeks if the progress is well
  • Introduce food which taste like milk or add some breast milk/formula milk to her food. She usually will like something that she is familiar with
  • Make sure that her milk intake is not compromised
  • Protein should be introduced gradually to avoid straining your baby's kidney
  • No added salt as it may strain her immature kidneys
  • No added sugar as it is associated with tooth decay
  • Avoid soft eggs and soft cheeses until she is 1 year old as it may contain food poisoning bacteria
  • Avoid honey as it contains botulism spore
  • Avoid nuts products as it can trigger nut allergy
