Baby Led Weaning : carrot againn

This is another third attempt giving him carrot and he knows what to do with carrot eventhough he's gagging in the beginning

Baby Led weaning banana

Tromson has great improvement, when we gave him food in his tray, he knows what to do already.
This time round we give him banana

 

Baby led weaning :papaya

 This morning, Tromson is having papaya for breakfast. But he seems not interested. He just plays with the fruit and mashes it in the table after that he licks his fingers

Oh well ....

 

Baby led weaning : broccoli cauliflower

 Yesterday, Tromson was having broccoli and cauliflower. He seemed not so into trying it. He just played and tried a little bit. May be he was not in the good mood

 

Drinking water from shot sippy cup

It's part of BLW exercise, Trom is practicing drinking water from shot sippy cup

Baby led weaning : carrot

Today mommy tries steamed carrot
He learns about carrot by touching, seeing, holding and tasting
He's not able to put the carrot into his mouth yet but practice makes perfect

Also, koko Richie is being supportive by giving him example by putting his M&M at tromson's table and pick them from there
Tromson is watching and copying

Keep it up boy !

 

 

Funny Video

It happens when Tromson was very hungry and koko Richie wanted to feed him.
But too bad, while koko was very careful and made sure that the portion was not so big, he couldn't wait longer and he ate anything he found like table hehe...

Baby led weaning : avocado

The second BLW is using avocado.

He likes the taste and texture but he can't hold it by himself yet because it's too slippery for him. Most of it end up in his body or hand before he has chance to taste it. Therefore he prefers mommy put it into his mouth.

He can finish a slice of it, and when mommy tries to give him the second one, he's gagging and throwing up all

Haiyah....

Anyway, good try boy !

 

 

 

 

 

Baby led weaning trial 1 : broccoli (20 feb 2014)

Tromson has interest again on puree food esp this morning when I give him pumpkin cauliflower puree

 

In the afternoon, mommy wants to try BLW method to him

I sit him in the high chair, top off and give a steam broccoli in his table
He's so excited to catch and hold but before putting into his mouth, the florets have become a mess

So mommy takes one and puts it into his mouth, he seems like it hehe love his expressions
He's trying to put into his mouth but fail and getting impatience after sometime

There's a little gagging which is normal and part of learning

He chews again before swallowing

Besides, it's good for practicing hand eye coordination

 

Anyway, good try tromson
Practice makes perfect !

 

 

 

 

 

Verdict of root vegies

Basically he's okay with the taste of potato, sweet potato and pumpkin
But for texture wise, he prefers pumpkin, potato and the last is sweet potato

This morning, mommy gives him pumpkin cauliflower mixture and he finishes the whole bowl

 

 

 

 

New method found - Baby Led Weaning

After searching in the internet for answer how to solve the problem of 6 months old baby rejects puree food, mommy found this new method - Baby Led weaning
It's very interesting and common in western country.

Instead of we spoonfed the baby, baby will eat by himself using his fingers and stop when he's full.
Mommy want to try this method to Tromson and see how his respond.

Since we don't have proper high chair for him yet, mommy gives a try by holding a slice of watermelon and let him suck and chew and eat it.
It's not much but it seems positive response from him

Hopefully this method works for him eventhough it's a bit messier and the food intake will be much less than puree for the start

Avocado melon puree (17 Feb 2014)

Even though Tromson still has this tongue thrust reflex, mommy never gives up, mommy gives him try of solid food eventhough he eats a little bit only.

This morning, mommy gives avocado melon puree. The taste is very nice, milky, creamy and sweet
But he takes only few spoons only, haiyahhh...
and for plain water, mommy gives him through srynge. Likes it or not, he must try to drink plain water for his own good

1 ripe avocado
3 slices melon
blended together with hand mixer

Tounge thrust reflex

After searching from internet, now mommy knows that he may not be ready for solid food

After observing the way he reacts with food, mommy concludes his tounge thrust reflex is not gone yet
He onlu takes thin puree and eats it like sipping the milk

Oh well, let try it again nxt week then

Fussy eating

Yesterday and today Tromson doesn't have much appetite for solid food
He just eats a little bit and shut his mouth
He has no more fever but he can't sleep well to last night and not drinking milk as much as usual

Mommy is clueless, it may be because of teething or other reasons

Hopefully it will pass soon and his appetite is back again

My poor boy

Verdict of papaya and watermelon puree

Mommy tried mashed papaya to Tromson, he actually likes the taste but since it's mashed, sometimes he feels like choking...

When mommy gives him mashed watermelon, he likes the taste not the texture since it's mashed, he feels like choking every time he eats the watermelon flesh and loves the watermelon juice.

Therefore, today mommy makes watermelon puree by blending it with hand mixer and he loves it, he finishes the whole bowl

3 slice watermelon
blended with hand mixer, no need to add water since watermelon is very juicy

Assorted root vegies puree

Next week mommy has planned to make him experiment with root vegies
Mommy made 9 cubes for a week or so survival hehe
The root vegies are sweet potato, potato and pumpkin, and to make the mixture not too sweet or bland, mommy added carrots and cauliflowers

So here we go
First puree : sweet potato cauliflower puree ( 4 cubes )

The second puree : potato carrot puree ( 3 cubes )

The third puree : pumpkin cauliflower puree ( 2 cubes )

Finally he likes oat cereals n milk

Finally he loves it, oat cereal and breastmilk served in luke warm temperature

And koko Richie helps mommy feeding tromson with cereal this morning

Pear papaya puree

This fruits mixture is his favorite so far, cos of natural sweetness

1 pear, cooked till soft then blended
1 slice ripe papaya, mashed
Mix both together
First trial 2 tsp

Pure pear puree

Today, mommy will give him pure pear puree. Let's see whether he enjoys it. it's kinda sweet taste though

1 golden pear
steamed/boiled with little water
blended with hand mixer and add boiled water for texture consistency

Trying apple pear puree

Yesterday, mommy gave a mixture apple pear puree since Tromson didn't poo for few days. He doesn't really like it perhaps the apple is a bit sour. But as result he poo a lot and the texture changes too. It's no more creamy watery, it's more paste like and smelly hehe...
