Mix salad and finger food

These are some of Tromson's meal for a day. He has vegetable and fruits everyday

steamed carrot, sweetpeas and apples

steamed asparagus, pear and sweet potato

Baby Led Weaning - toast

Mommy bought traditional white bread that usually used for toast and let him taste and play some of it

Baby Led Weaning Strawberry

Tromson has been on off in solid. When he's no appetite, mommy gives him finger food.
This time round, he's so interested in eating koko Richie's fruits, therefore mommy gives him one strawberry and he can finish it almost the whole of it with some mess of course

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

 

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 !

 

 

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 !

 

 

 

 

 

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
