BABY'S FIRST YEAR

As a new mom, I always had so many questions about feeding baby. The two main questions I always ask myself:

1. What new food I can give to baby? as I feel that baby may get bored of eating the same food.
2. When can I start a particular new food?

Now my baby is 18 months old and so thought of jolting down whatever I fed her during these days. I always make sure to feed her only one new food continuously for 4-5 days and check how she responds to it. I also check for constipation, allergies, etc. I got 75% of information about what to feed and when to feed goggling and from Baby Ceter website. The rest of the 25% info was expert advice from parents and friends.

My baby's foods:
Mother's milk - Should be given to the babies once every 2 hours till they become 6 months old. Mother's milk can be continued till the baby becomes 12-14 months old or more if the mother/baby prefers.

Other baby milk - I choose the NAN brand as per doctor advice. NAN 1 can be given to the babies till they are 6 months old. After that move to NAN 2. Start NAN 3 after the baby celebrates her 1st birthday. I am adding little sugar to NAN3 as she is very sweet conscious now. 

Rice cereals (4+ months) Milupa brand
Baby biscuits (4+ months) Milupa brand
Baby Cereals (6+ months) Cerelac brand. Started with wheat cereals, then moved to 'wheat and dates', 'wheat and fruits', and later to 'wheat and fruit pieces' and 'wheat and date pieces'.

Baby Multi-cereal biscuit sticks Milupa brand (6+ months). My baby prefers to eat this while teething.
Vegetable mix tinned (6+ months). This does not tastes good, so babies tries to avoid it. Vegetables are essentially part of their diet, so initially mix 2-3 tbsp with cerelac and give. Later they will get used to it. Babies can have 1/2 - 1 tin per day.

Fruit mix tinned (6+ months). Start with banana mix, then move to apple, mixed fruits, 3 fruits, peach banana, apricot pear, pineapple banana, etc. Babies can have 1 tin per day.
