today my baby had his first solid food..i’m still confused on what to feed him…and since my baby’s been on only breast milk, the first solids i introduce him is still in liquid form. and as advised by many, the first solid was a rice cereal which i mixed with breast milk, and strained before feeding him…and my, baby was so happy receiving his first ‘meal’, his face was full of excitement, it was such a cute sight…i’ll introduce him to fruits and veggies first…in hoping that he’ll love them throughout his life…

it’s wiser to introduce veggies before fruits to baby (as fruits taste better), and green veggies are high in iron, which babies need from solid foods.

in order to curb allergies, and having them under control is to introduce only one type of food every 3 days (to one week). this way we can identify which food baby has an allergic reaction to.

it’s important to choose food for baby that has NO salt, sugar or preservatives; and for breastfeeding mommies – no milk. the best is still for us to prepare the food ourselves and go organic!
