Food for the week

Hyzyd is already eating 2-3 tablespoons of single-grain cereal a couple of times a day, I now start to introduce vegetables and fruits to him. Because, I'm at home, I'm making my own baby food for the following reasons:

1. I know what's in it, thereby I could ensure healthy and wholesome meals for my baby.
2. I can tailor the texture to my baby's preferences.
3. I can shape my baby's taste and help him learn what fresh foods taste like.

This week I started to have the following meal plan:

Breakfast: 2 tbsp (25 ml) Infant cereal-Mixed fruit and milk flavor
1/4 cup (50 ml) mango (blended)

Snack: his milk

Lunch: 1/4 cup carrots (boiled, then blended)

Snack: formula feeding on demand

Supper: 2 tbsp (25 ml) Infant cereal-Mixed fruit and milk flavor
1/4 cup (50 ml) apples (boiled then blended)

Snack: formula feeding on demand

Why I choose mango, carrots and apples for this week?

Mangoes help the body maintain bowel movement regularity and fight infection. Carrots are naturally sweet and very nutritious. Cooking carrots maximizes their nutritional potential and flavor. Apples are good source of soluble fiber, which helps with bowel function and may lower cholesterol levels.

Hyzyd surely enjoys his meals for this weeks. We're looking forward for otherhealthy homemade meals next week!
