Here is a similar dish to the mashed potato, suitable for baby 8-9 months old & above.

Ingredients:
Diced and cooked boneless breast or ground chicken
Cubed and cooked potato

2) Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
3) Stir in cheese. Add infant cereal by tablespoons until you get your desired thickness.
4) Mash or puree to desired consistency. Cool before serving.

Since there are many different baby food recipes for babies at different age, I thought I’ll start with my son Dillon’s favourite solid food.

This is suitable for baby from 6 months & above.

Mashed Potato Combo
Ingredients:
Potato, Carrots (or Pumpkin), Broccoli (or Cauliflower), Lean Chicken Meat.

1. Cook everything in adequate amount of water.
2. Blend the mixture together with the remained cooking water to the consistency desired when cooked.
3. No need flavouring.

*Remove the meat if baby is under 9 months old or you just don’t wish to feed baby with it. Read more about when to start feeding meat here.
*You can cook more and divide into 2 or 3 portion, stored in individual container & freeze it. Thaw in the fridge a night before use & warm up again before feeding.
*Add in cheese when feeding if desired. Cheese may be introduced as early as 8 months providing there are no dairy allergies. Read more about cheese here.

* You may just prepare plain mashed potato only but I find it taste much better when combined with other vegetables or meat.

When my son Dillon first started on solid food, I did a lot of searching on the web to prepare for it. Besides feeding him the cereals, I actually hunted for the baby food recipes & try to homemade it myself. Thus I’ve compiled a document with all my findings (all copy & paste job lah, haha) for my own reference & also for sharing with other mummies who are interested, esp those members in the Meadjohnson forum.

In view of the popular request from the forum members (cheh……. thick skin!), Vicky actually suggested me to put the recipe in the blog so that everyone can access easily & also save me work to email each of them upon request, what a good idea!

Anyway, there isn’t anything great or special about the baby food that I prepared (nothing that you don’t already know) so don’t put too much expectation on me ya. It’s actually more like a guide or reference to the new mummies who wanted to start giving solid food to their babies.

So stay tuned while I’m working on transferring the content here.

I’ve mentioned about this pod peas in my previous recipe post on Chinese Soups and it was sad that I wasn’t able to tell the exact name or describe how it looks.

Therefore the best way is to snap a picture & share it here so that everybody has a better idea of what kind of pod peas I was talking about.

This pod peas is great for making soup with chicken carcass, as well as cooking porridge for babies. It is sweet & will become very soft once cooked, taste yummy.

Give it a try!
