Babies no matter if they are exclusively breastfeeding or formula-feed or mixed feed are allowed to start taking solid foods when they reach 6 months. Well, some including my pediatrician allowed my little one (LO) to start by 4 months which I did not comply. Sorry, Doc! I believe that breastmilk is the only thing our babies need during their first 6 months.
So why does a baby needs to reach 6 months before taking any solid foods? Here’s why.
I started doing my research for my lo’s first solid foods when he reached 5 months.
I’m excited yet a bit worried, excited because it is a milestone for him. Worried because what if my little one didn’t like squash or other vegetables. And prefers to just drink his breastmilk as this is the main dilemma of other mommies I read. But I have high hopes for my LO, matakaw yun e LOLS.
I started considering what are the things I should buy during the preparation, I was eyeing to buy NutriBullet or Magic Baby Bullet but thankfully, my mother-in-law let me use her blender so we save a lot. Since we already have Avent Breastmilk Containers we could use it as food storage too. I just bought ice cube trays with cover for less than 100php for 3 pieces.

Lo is going 7 months now and below are the foods he tried:
Vegetable
– pumpkin
– carrot
– potato
– sweet potato
– sayote
Fruits
– apple
– pears
– banana
– avocado
PREPARATION:
For vegetables, apple and pears, I cut them into cubes and boil them until it gets tender. Mix breastmilk in the blender until it has a smooth consistency.
STORAGE:
Aside from my Avent Breastmilk Storage I also use ice cube trays with cover and keep them in the freezer. Once they are frozen, I transferred them to a ziplock to save space.

Thanks for your information on this blog. 1 thing I would wish to say is the fact that purchasing consumer electronics items over the Internet is nothing new. The truth is, in the past few years alone, the marketplace for online electronics has grown significantly. Today, you can get practically any specific electronic gadget and tools on the Internet, from cameras plus camcorders to computer components and game playing consoles.
Thank you for sharing your ideas to prepare solid foods. I think the recipe is quite easy. The new moms will get benefited, as they so worried to start the solid foods for the first time. You talked about vegetables and apples. So, the food is healthy no doubt.
