Baby Food Receipt

I love cooking . Whatever Asian or western style.. I just love to learn and discover more...
Now, being a 5 months baby myself, also with my years working experiences with young babies and toddlers, I started my cooking journey for the younger ones. I would love to share  all my receipt  with new parents too.

People were telling me baby should start eating solid food when they are about 6 months, but I started my boy from 4.5 months, and he was doing great. I guess that all depends on the parents, you know your child the best, when you think they are getting ready,  why not just try it??? It's a lot of fun, at least I enjoy it.

I hate buying baby jar food , and totally against it. All my receipt here are very simple and quick to make. You would find they are Asian and Western style included, just explore and find the best one for you and your little one.  I will continue update new ones after I "explore", and try to upload the pictures too later.

Now I am going to introduce some vegetables and fruits puree which most parents may know already.

First Vegetable Puree ( potato, sweet potato, butternut squash/pumpkin, zucchini, cauliflower/broccoli puree )
Baby's first food should be mild in taste, easy to digest, completely smooth. Begin with single ingredient purees in the first week, then progress to combination.
I started from sweet potato, butternut squash, zucchini.  
1.Chop the vegetable into small pieces, put in a steamer over boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
2. Blend the vegetable to a puree
3. spoon a little puree in to baby's bowl and serve lukewarm. ( pour the remainder into ice-cube tray and freeze)

First Fruit puree ( banana, pear, apple,papaya, avocadeo)
All fruits must be cooked , except banana. 
same method when you make vegetable puree.


Creamy Vegetable puree
Mix together the baby rice cereal and milk . ( 1 tbs baby rice cereal, 3 tbs breast milk or formula, 4 tbsp first vegetable puree )

Fruity baby rice cereal 
Mix together the cereal and milk. ( 1 tbs baby rice cereal, 3 tbs breast milk or formula, 4 tbs first fruit puree )
