My Baby Starting
Solid Food! (Yeayy or Bluerghh)
Just sharing my experience on this. Yeah and this is my
first born. So you can aspect there are a lot of things to share. Hahah..
Ok, before that, I always had in mind that when Iman started
her meal, I wanna feed her all natural and organic foods. No added flavor as salt, sugar,
msg, etc… yeah you know, kind of fruits, veggies and more chemical free foods. Well,
we’ll see…
So few days before Iman turned 6 month, we’re back at Johor
and couple of days later we come back to Serendah, Iman turned 6 month and had
her monthly check up. Surprisingly, her weight somehow decrease around 6.2kg
something like that. Lepas tu Doctor pun tanya dah start bg die mkn solid, bg
mkn ape and so on.. aku pun bgtau lah baru start bg mkn nestum.. yelah baru 3
days kot.. then Dr pun bising lah.. jgn bg mkn benda instant, bla..bla..
hahah..kitorg pn tadah je lah telinga..Nestum tu pn hakim yg beria suruh beli
kat tesco mase tu sbb mase kat kg diorang dah sibuk suruh bg mkn nestum lah
bubur lah.. sighhh…
Aku pn tk tau la nk kata journey Iman start her solid food
ni mcm mana.. Coz setakat ni aku tk pernah pun Nampak dia eager tunggu meal
time die and tk pernah lg mkn dgn penuh berselera except mase first time aku
suap die nestum tu hahah… just that aku perati je anak2 kawan aku kat ig, anak
artis, kemain lg selera diorang mkn. Siap betambah tambah..
Then after this time,Iman memang susah sangat sangat nak
makan.. Now die dah 1 year 4month with her weight 8.5 kg, height 78cm and 7
little tooth. Aku bg die mkn appeton nk
bg die punya selera makan bertambah sikit as prescribed by Dr.
So the thing yg aku nak
highlight ni, before your baby turns 6 month, do research and prepared.
Not until diorang dah reach 6 month baru ko nak baca itu ini. I admit that’s all
my bad jugak coz aku tak prepare drpd awal. Means die punye jadual mkn, jenis
food yg korang plan nk bg, utensils and so on. So take note of all these:
1.
- Utensils, plate, food feeder, high chair
Make sure korang dah
standby benda2 ni. Means child appropriate as their age. Kitorg gi beli sudu
and mangkuk ikea tu but not for baby tp toddler..hahah dah gedabak nk masuk
mulut Iman. Tak payah beli ikea, kat diy pun melambak. That’s why do your
research early. And also food feeder tu sgt membantu ok.
- . Meals schedule (4 days rule)
Prepare siap2 jadual mkn. For the first solid food, ada 4
days rule. Korang kene bg baby mkn satu benda je selama 4 hari just to make
sure they are not allergic to food yg korang introduce. After they had the
meals. Check poopoo die, or ape2 reaction yang unusual. Google je jadual mkn
buleh buat contoh. And that’s why kene buat research awal. Kalau dh time nk
prepare mkn baru nk fikir nk bg mkn ape, hurrmm haru lah jadinye just like me
hahha..
- . Food variation and texture.
Ok this is so important! Please introduce a healthy and lots
of variation food to your baby. Kalau boleh start with the plain taste first. Then
slowly baru bg yg ada rasa. Follow the 4 days rules tu. In my case, aku awal2
dh bg nestum so maybe that’s why Iman jd picky eater..nestum tu manis. Kalau nk bg benda2 manis, bg buah je.. masuk dlm food feeder tu bg die pegang sendiri.
- . Food processor
Ini sangat2 membantu… quick and easy. Aku ade beli ni tapi
die punye blender tk boleh pakai pulak so return back. And I just guna blender
biase.. even aku tak kerja, tp still rase erghh lecehnye.. kalau food processor
tu senang steam, terus blend. So kumpul la duit awal2 beli benda alah ni ok.
Ok lastly, enjoy making food for your baby.. lg best kalau
semua yang korang buat tu, baby makan dengan penuh berselera. Just not in my
case. Aku kadang2 rase masak penat2 pun bukan die nak makan. Huuuaaaa … so far
fruits pun Iman susah giler nk mkn kot. Nasi memang not in the list lah… pasta
die ok cket nak jugak. And cereal. But alhamdulillah Iman ni senang nak minum
air masak and makan ubat. Maybe sebab dah asek kene mkn appeton je haha..
And one more thing to highlight, just don’t simply bg mkn
kat baby org lain ye even die dah boleh mkn. Just respect their parent.. maybe
mak die tgh buat 4 days rule tu and korang pulak suka2 bg mkn kat anak die..
mane la tau buleh dpt allergic and so on. Or maybe parent die nk capture the moment for their baby first meals tp korang dengan selambanye menyuap anak die tanpa segan silu.. Well, that look nothing much but trust me sometimes it will effect the eating
polar for the baby. And trust me nestum is not the first meals for Iman coz dh
mcm2 org suap die mase die kat kg few days before die turns 6 month.. omg…hahahah..
So hasrat aku nk bg Iman mkn benda2 yang organic lg
berkhasiat masih lg diteruskan dengan strugglenya..hahha..sebab normally as
Iman susah betul nk makan ni, aku bg je die mkn benda yang die nak makan.. as long
as selamat dimakan and at the same time still pujuk die makan fruits and
veggies.. wish me luck!
