Starting solid Starting, solid

BB四個月大，早兩日見Pediatrician，醫生話佢過左十四磅，可以開始食solid food。我買左Nestle既Rice cereal，想問下如果餵米糊，咁餵奶要減少幾多？佢依家一日食四次奶，每次200ml。

Pediatrician話佢知道有Ｄ人話六個月先好餵食solid food，不過我個ＢＢ依家都可以食得架啦，我諗住佢差唔多五個月大到就會餵solid food。

想問下，我早三個星期開始餵 rice cereal，這星期再加 carrot。每日一餐，每餐小半碗。究竟餵食固體食物一日餵幾多先夠？我個Ｂ依家六個月大。

岩岩早幾日睇 W Channel 既 Shopping Bags 節目講 Baby Food，佢地測試咁多隻牌子之後話 Gerber 既最好，我見度度賣 Heinz 既最多，Gerber 唔係好多款，唔知你地個Ｂ食開邊款同邊隻味？我除左 Carrot 仲買左 Squash, Peas, Sweet Potato.

koala, right now I am feeding my baby baby just baby food, no congee yet.

I have not yet started making home made baby food.  According to Pat the nurse from mother group, DO NOT substitute milk with soild food.  As your baby is still young, feed your baby the regular amount of milk cuz this is his main nutrition.  baby food should be extra item for now.  Pat said you could consider using milk to make rice cereal for your baby, this way he won't be eating too much but he could still have regular portion milk and some solid.

Pat also mentioned the food order should go like this:
1) grain
2) veggies
3) meat
4) fruits

it is very important to feed grain first because your baby needs iron from grain. feed veggies earlier than fruits because your baby may not like to eat veggies if he has tried the sweet stuff.

I usually feed my baby half a small bowl of solid food and her regular bottle of milk for her second meal of the day. I feed my baby rice cereal to start with for a couple weeks, then I started adding carrot in the rice cereal and she tried 5 days already.  Today I fed her rice cereal + peas (baby food) and will continue to do so for several days.  Then I will introduce barley cereal to her after she finished her box of rice cereal.  I'll let her try one new stuff for several days.

I am also looking for a good chopper so I could cook some congee for her.  Baby Kingdom 有媽媽教先將米磨成粉備用，之後每次煮幾多就北幾多米粉出來煲，Ｄ粥就會綿好多。煲番薯或南瓜粥又或者吞拿魚粥都幾好。

I don't think I could afford that.   That's too expensive.
