A persons' and babys' skin is the first responder to a new food. The skin will tell you if the food is ok for the babys inside (stomach and intestines). As long as you dont see redness on the babys cheeks and face- from feeding the baby food,that will show that the food is assimilating well into the baby. If the baby has redness, stop feeding the food for the day. Then the next day start a smaller amount and see how the babys' skin does.
Breakfast- over easy egg
Lunch- brown rice cereal with any side below
Dinner- brown rice cereal with any side below
1. Over easy egg 4-5mo, in the morning one small taste from dipping my finger in the yolk from my egg. Then at 6-7 mo still over easy egg, but mix in the white part chop it up. Then around 8 months could make scrambled eggs
2. Brown rice porridge 6 months, I cooked regular brown rice with water, then pureed it with breastmilk in blender to make it soupy and thin. Started feeding once a day, then increased it at 7 mo to twice a day
3. Avocado 4- 6 months, one small taste once a day starting at 4 mo, then smash up more and slowly increase the amount
4. Banana 4- 6 months, one small taste once a day starting at 4 mo, then smash up more and slowly increase the amount
5. Peanut Butter or almond butter
7 months one small taste once a day, then slowly increase the amount
6. pumpkin and sweet potatoes- roast in oven or boil in water, season with salt and pepper
6-7months one small taste once a day, then slowly increase the amount
7. beans and lentils
I did try store bought white rice powdered fortified baby cereal, but he was pretty fussy within 2 hours and throughout the next day. I went back to the brown rice porridge and that seem to settle him right down.
I also make a huge batch of the brown rice porridge. 4 c water, 2 c rice bring to boil, cook for 40 min. Then add rice and extra breastmilk to blender and puree till how thick or thin you want it. I freeze them in small portions in mini and regular sized muffin tins. Then after they freeze hard, then I pop them out and put in a ziplock bag. Then they are in individual portions when its time to feed the baby. I microwave for 30 seconds and its ready.
