baby menu

I am bracing myself for a new set of foods for Andreas now that his teeth are coming out. But before we go further than green leaves and chicken, i want to post what i have been feeding my little prince for the past three months. It is more simple than what others think. Yes, like any first time Mom, i even thought of buying a baby book recipe just to make sure i am giving him proper nourishment but i decided to listen to my instinct and take cues from hubby's healthy eating habits.

Andreas actually prefers Similac but i give him Promil to drink from his cup during meal times. This way, he does not get tired of the same milk over and over. Some mothers too have their babies drink water every after bottle feeding but i don't. I only give water to Andreas when his solid food does not go well with milk.

I read too, that babies come with a clean slate of taste buds. So that we try to serve fresh fruits and vegetables on their own. No butter, salt, or sugar or milk added. We want Andreas enjoy melon or avocado in its own simple way.
