Solid Foods

1 - 6 months: exclusively breastfed 6 - 12 months: Complimentary Feeding, kaya breastfeed muna bago solids. Intro to solids pa lng, and the idea is masanay si baby sa different food flavors and textures. Start with soft fruits and boiled veggies (mashed with fork). Never kami ng puree kasi need din ni baby matuto ngumuya. Eventually, oats with fruits, or veggies with rice. STRICTLY NO SALT OR SUGAR or any condiments. Start kami bfast and lunch lang, eventually dinner na rin. Palipas ng 2-3 days bago mag-introduce ng new food para madali matrace in case of allergic reactions. 1 yo onwards: Supplementary feeding (extended bf), so solids muna bago dede. 3 meals a day, 2 snacks in between, always with veggies and/ or fruits. We tried to delay eggs and meats as much as we could, until ayaw nang magpaawat ni lo 😅 kung ano ulam namin, "toned down" version yung kay lo. So for ex: sinigang/ tinola, etc, ipagtatabi ng portion si lo bago timplahan ng salt, etc. so yung kanya ay matabang na version ng food namin. Just avoid salt and sugar, no need to deprive them of spices (garlic, onions, etc) dahil dapat masanay sila sa iba't-ibang flavors ☺️ by 2 yo: Kung ano food namin, iyon din ang kay lo. We just make sure na hindi masyado maalat ang food namin in general. We let him eat junk foods and sweets but these are exceptions (during parties, etc only) and not the norm, and we make sure malakas sya magtubig after. I highly recommend that you get your lo a high chair, malaking tulong for BLW ☺️
