Executive Summary about Baby Food by Janice Wee
When your baby is somewhere between 4 to 6 months old, it is time to prepare baby for solid food. Baby has to learn to eat proper food.
It begins with a simple taste of baby food. Mashed peas, mashed broccoli, porridge.. basically soft food that baby can handle. This is the time to introduce baby to new tastes.
Some babies do not take change easily. If baby refuses the new food, you could give it a familiar taste by adding a little breast milk or formula milk to the food before offering it to baby.
An important thing to note here is that the food you feed baby at this point in time shapes the baby’s tastes. Wean baby onto broccoli and that could well become his or her favourite food.
You can buy all sorts of baby food in stores that sell baby products. For convenience sake, I bought plenty of bottled baby food for my baby. Dry cereal baby foods are good too.
You can also make your own baby food. For that, you need a food mill or food processor.
Whether you get ready made baby food or make your own, this is the time to steer your baby towards healthy food.
