My 1st foods

12 Dec 2010

On this day which Mummy planned for me to start solid food,
she woke up extra early to go to the super market to get organic brown rice for me.
According to the book "Super Baby Food", you should grind and cook your own brown rice porridge so Mummy wanteda get this

Lunderg Organic Brown Rice

to grind/blend at home.

According to the book, it's easy and fast to cook and healthier and cheaper than getting those commercial packet of Baby Cereal.

Then Mummy saw thisHealthy Times Premium Organic Baby Cereal - Brown Rice Cereal for Baby.

One pack of this cost almost the same as one pack of those Lundberg Organic Brown Rice.
Mummy checked their nutrition facts (see below).

Left - Healthy Times Organic Brown Rice Cereal
Right - Lundberg Organic Long Grain Brown Rice
as the serving size on Lundberg is 3x that on Healthy Times', in blue ink is the amount divided by 3 for fair comparison.

It seems the nutrition value of both are comparable.
Of cos, the commercial Healthy Times Baby Brown Rice Cereal has all the vitamins and minerals added so got all those "stuff" at the bottom of the nutrition fact sheet.

Having considered how hopeless she is in the kitchen, Mummy decided to buy the just stir-into-water/milk Healthy Times Baby Cereal instead.

So that was my 1st solid food.

Next up is Healthy Times Wholegrain Oatmeal Cereal for Baby.
Mummy bought this cos it has more potassium and fiber compared to the Brown Rice Cereal.
(See why potassium is important here.)

Other food I've tried so far are
papaya
potato
carrot
sweet potato
and baby biscuits (will talk about that in another post).
