BOOK REVIEW: Be a creative mom

Mommies, feed ur baby can be very tough, your baby might reject the food..close his mouth....turn his head away.. he refuse to eat....however just be calm...don't worry if he rejected or doesn't eat everything u offer, let him explore the taste...NEVER force ur baby to eat, slowly introduce him food ....let him familiar with different taste. As for me I am quite lucky as for now ...Vish loves all the foods i prepare for him tasteless...sweet...sour..he just eat...hopefully he will continue this habit.

A love of food is one of the best gifts that you can give your child by introducing your baby to homecooked food from the start you can lay the foundations of healthy eating something that will stand him or her in good stead for life.Just wanna share with mommies who just started giving their little one with solid food
specially for those who make their own baby food (homemade).. special for u mommy Loretta, mommy Christina, mommy Kani, mommy Ashton, mommy Doreen, mommy Mitchelle and more who did ever ask me about this issue....

Although there hundred even thousand of baby food in a jar or canned selling at the supermarket.....convenient and easy.....
but as for me try to make ur own...blend and cook with love arise such great satisfaction..not only that it also more healthy, fresh and best for ur little one don't make ur work...career...fatigue as an excuse not prepare homemade food for him........rite mommies? ......I have a few books on baby/toddler food/recipe......these two is the most basic....I bought at MPH bookstore...my fav bookstore

REMEMBER BOOKS, MAGAZINES, WEBSITE, BLOG JUST PROVIDE U THE GUIDELINES ON HOW TO FEED UR BABY...OFFER U THE RECIPE ETC
...EVERY BABY IS UNIQUE AND HOW MUCH THEY IT OLSO VARIES
...DON'T COMPARE UR BABY WITH OTHER BABY...(eg...why her baby can eat that much why can't mine)
...FOLLOW AND TRUST UR MATERNAL INSTINCT
...COOK WITH UR OWN CREATIVITY...honestly i not really follow d books etc...I bought it for guidelines...i create my own recipe according to my own intuition....

TIPS FOR FEEDING
just be creative...
(Mommy Agnes tips...special from me to share)
  1. Do not start with commercial baby cereal which available at the supermarket..because he will get use with the sweet taste..and when u start to intro him homemade food which sometimes tasteless he will refuse to eat...
  2. Try to use organic/fresh food...price can be slightly expensive but worth it
  3. Do not force ur baby to eat or force him to finish d food..be calm and slowly
  4. Do not add salt/sugar/additives etc to ur baby food because they can't digest it yet...let the natural taste....
  5. Apply 4 days rule in order for u to identify whether ur baby has allergic to certain food and introduce one type of food before you combine d ingredients
  6. Since baby food not allowed to add salt/sugar/additives what u can do is combine sweet food with the tasteless example: sweet potato + green bean, Carrot + raisin, etc
  7. Never give peanut, white egg, honey, fish (seashell), under 1 year old...
this all for now..will update later...
