As we approach our second month we are, well he is, getting better at handling food and getting it to the right place.
We have researched a little further into foods we shouldn't have, but have found this a mind field of opinions. No gluten, dairy, egg, peanuts or salt, but then again others encourage you should feed what you eat (although of course watching the salt and sugar levels). So, we have done it like this, as advised by Gill Rappley, introduce foods which we are a little weary of slowly and watched for any reaction. We also took into consideration any allergies in the family and try to avoid these foods, just in case, till he is a little older.
We have mainly loved rice cakes and melon for our snack this week and this has also been great for the gums. I cut the melon slice in half so that he has two pieces which fit his little fists better and once he got the hang of holding them there was no stopping him chomping away. Nice and cool and a little sweet. Rice cakes are also a great alternative to the Heinz baby biscuits I bought which ended up sticky and soft and covering everything!
We've had some lovely rice meals, potato and the odd chip. He seems more put off by new textures, but he has so far not refused anything, alhamdullilah.
I am looking forward to the wintry stews.
O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, than out of sperm, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that we may manifest ( Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strenght; and some of you are called to die and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after known (much). And (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (To life), it swells,and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth in pairs. ( Surah al- Hajj, ayat 5, Qur'an)
This is a blog about my experiences and my opinions, that is not to say what you believe is wrong or that what you choose for you and your baby is not right. I mean no offence with my blog and if I do offend please do not be afraid to leave me a comment to indicate areas I might need to edit.
