How to choose Baby Pacifier ?

2009-12-16T21:49:00.000-08:00

Many parents have a love-hate relationship with pacifiers. While pacifiers are soothing to baby and are now recommended by AAP for use at bedtime for SIDS prevention, parents dread taking the pacifier away one day or having pacifiers discourage breastfeeding. Before you buy pacifiers, take a look at these common pacifier features and pacifier safety tips to be sure you're choosing the right pacifiers for your baby.

Don't Buy Too Many Pacifiers Before Baby Arrives

When you're stocking baby's nursery, it's tempting to buy several boxes of those cute little pacifiers. While buying a few pacifiers in different styles is a good idea, wait until you know your baby will take a pacifier before buying too many. Some babies just don't like pacifiers, while others are very particular about which types of pacifiers they will take. Try a few pacifier styles with baby before buying a year's supply.

One-Piece Pacifiers Only

Most new pacifiers are one-piece, whether they are made of molded silicone or a combination of plastic and silicone or latex. Check to be sure the nipple is firmly attached to the base of the pacifier. If you are able to detach the nipple with a tug, you can be sure baby will eventually detach it. Also avoid pacifiers that have liquid or gel inside the nipple. Liquid-filled pacifiers may look cool, but they're messy and possibly harmful when baby bites through and releases the liquid.

Don't Improvise

While many baby products can be recreated at home, pacifiers are not in that category. Do not use bottle nipples and caps as pacifiers, as they can come apart and cause choking. Homemade pacifiers may not be sturdy enough to hold up to repeated use without breaking down or psing other health risks to baby.

Orthodontic Pacifiers vs. Rounded Pacifiers

Orthodontic pacifier nipples have a rounded top and a flat bottom, and were designed to prevent tooth troubles later in baby's life. However, if your baby prefers a rounded traditional pacifier nipple, go with what works. Both types of pacifier nipples have been found to increase bite problems, like overbite, later in life, but limiting the amount of time baby spends with the pacifier and taking the pacifier away after baby's first year can minimize dental damage.

Silicone or Latex Pacifiers?

Both silicone and latex pacifier nipples have advantages, and the choice usually comes down to baby's preference. Silicone is sturdy, doesn't retain odors, cleans up easily and is harder for baby to bite through. Silicone is not as soft on baby's mouth, though. Latex is soft in baby's mouth and baby may like the way it retains scents, but latex doesn't hold up as well to repeated cleanings and little teeth can quickly chew through it.

Must-Have Pacifier Features

A safe pacifier should be at least 1.5 inches across to prevent choking. Many babies develop rashes from the constant moisture under the pacifier shield, so look for pacifiers that have vent holes in the shield to let air get to baby's skin. Color and style are up to you, but brightly colored pacifiers are easier to spot under vehicle seats and in diaper bags. Glow-in-the-dark pacifiers might be easier to find at bedtime. Be sure the pacifier can be boiled or put in the dishwasher for cleaning.

Don't Tie It On!

No matter how tempting it is to tie a pacifier to your baby, don't. Pacifiers get lost a lot, but putting a ribbon or string around baby's neck or tying the pacifier to clothing carries too great a risk of strangulation. If your baby keeps losing pacifiers, either keep small stashes of baby's favorite style in the diaper bag, car, nursery, etc. so that you always have one at the ready, or look for a sturdy pacifier clip at the store.
Check for Pacifier Recalls

It doesn't happen very often, but baby pacifiers are sometimes recalled for safety issues. When something is in baby's mouth so often, it's important to know if a flaw poses a choking hazard or other danger.

Slings, wraps & other baby carriers -- Why, How & Where?

2009-12-01T01:32:00.000-08:00

Using a baby sling or wrap can make life easier for you and is good for your baby. Following are some of the advantages of "wearing" your baby ( from The Baby Book by William and Martha Sears) :

It's convenient. You can breastfeed discretely in a sling while working, getting things done around the house, shopping or eating in a restaurant. If you have a baby who wants to be held all the time, this is an easy way to meet her needs while doing other things.
It helps moms care for older siblings. Carrying your baby in a sling can give you the mobility to care for your older children.
It helps some babies to breastfeed better. Some babies, particularly those who are tense or tend to arch their backs, breastfeed better while moving. Also, babies who are slow to gain weight (for no apparent reason) have been known to gain better if carried in a sling for several hours a day, since proximity to mom encourages babies to eat more frequently.
It reduces crying and colic. A 1986 study of 99 mother-infant pairs (reported in Pediatrics) showed that carrying babies at least three hours a day reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night. Babies are happier because they have less need to cry, and parents enjoy their babies more as a result.
It enhances learning. Carried babies have enhanced visual and auditory alertness, and increased "quiet alertness" times. Carrying a baby promotes cognitive development and speech development, since babies are exposed to more experiences and conversations.
Carried babies are involved in their parents' world. They participate in life, rather than see it as a spectator.
Carrying your baby promotes bonding and enhances parents' feelings of competence. A higher frequency of feeding and touching stimulates mothering hormones, and frequent carrying encourages and speeds the development of a mutual reading of each other's cues.

Baby Vomiting

2009-11-27T20:35:00.000-08:00

Let's face it, no parent enjoys this subject, and if your baby's throwing up, you can bet he's not having a good time of it, either. Most of the time, vomiting in babies, as in adults, is caused by a viral illness (the stomach flu), though some may be caused by more serious illnesses.

If your baby vomits, the first thing to do is determine if that's really what happened. If it was simply some milk bubbling back out of his mouth post-feeding or along with a burp, that's probably just spit up (technically called "reflux"). But if the ejection is more sudden and violent, it is vomit.

Vomiting occurs when the abdominal muscles and diaphragm contract vigorously while the stomach is relaxed. The most common reason for this is a stomach virus (though occasionally bacteria or a parasite may be the trigger). A viral infection in the stomach might go hand in hand with a low-grade fever and/or diarrhea.

Caring for Your Vomiting Baby

The suggestions below are general guidelines. Depending on the specifics of your baby's case, your pediatrician's may vary.

For formula-fed babies under 6 months: Give the baby small, frequent amounts of an oral electrolyte solution every 15-20 minutes. These are balanced with salts that help replace fluids lost with vomiting. Gradually increase the amount until it matches what he might have had in a normal feeding. Re-introduce formula after the baby's gone eight hours without vomiting. If you're breastfeeding, continue to nurse, but at shorter, more frequent intervals.
For babies over 6 months: Do the same as above. If the baby's been eating solids, parents can reintroduce bland foods he's already familiar with after he's not vomited for at least eight hours (such as bananas or cereal).

Safety Note

While most vomiting can be cared for at home, call your pediatrician if:

you see blood or green bile in the vomit
your baby seems to be in great pain
he vomits repeatedly or strenuously, or the vomiting continues for more than 24 hours
his abdomen is swollen
his soft spot seems sunken and/or he's urinating less frequently
he's lethargic or very irritable

Thumb sucking habit

2009-11-27T20:15:00.000-08:00

Thumbsucking is a common habit of preschool children. The activity is normal for infants and toddlers, but should decrease by ages three to four and stop by age five. Unfortunately, many youngsters can't break the habit by this time. Is parental anxiety over thumbsucking warranted?

Thumbsucking is a very normal response to anxiety and stress and does not point to insecurity or emotional problems in your child. Most children give up thumbsucking by age four, when some children continue to suck their thumbs as a means of exerting independence. Aside from some minor problems with thumb and fingernail infections, the most damage from thumbsucking occurs to the teeth and jaw.

A well-known pediatrician recently stated on television that continued sucking of thumbs or fingers does not cause serious dental problems in children and is not cause for parental alarm. Wrong! In fact, prolonged thumb activity produces significant problems with chewing, speech, and facial appearance.

The pleasure in the habit is derived from the contact of skin of thumb with oral mucous membrane. Thumb sucking also creates an intense negative pressure in oral cavity/mouth which has detrimental effects on over all development of facial area and narrowing of dental arches. These effects can last life long because the cheek muscles become hyperactive due to over action. BUT there is NO cause for worry, if the kid stops the habit before the age of 4-5 years.

Not all thumb sucking causes equal harm, three factors affect the outcome of damage. These are Duration, Intensity and Frequency of the habit. Higher the three, higher will be damage to teeth.

Effects on the jawbone

The more time a child sucks his thumb and the greater the sucking pressure, the more harm done to teeth and jaws. Day and night forceful thumbsucking makes front teeth move, and can even reshape the jaw bone. Upper front teeth flare out and tip upward while lower front teeth move inward. But, how can something as small as a child's thumb or finger effectively move bone?

The reason that thumbs and fingers are effective tooth-movers and bone shapers is that the jaw bones of children under age eight are especially soft and malleable. Children have upper and lower jaws rich in blood supply and relatively low in mineral content, especially calcium. Unfortunately for children and parents, prolonged thumb or finger sucking easily deforms the bone surrounding upper and lower front teeth, producing a hole or gap when teeth are brought together known as an "open bite".

If a child stops thumbsucking before loss of baby front teeth and permanent front tooth eruption, most or all harmful effects disappear within six months. However, if the habit persists through permanent front tooth eruption, there can be lasting damage: flared or protruded upper teeth, delayed eruption of upper or lower front teeth, and the aforementioned open bite. This can result in chewing difficulties, speech abnormalities, and an unattractive smile.

New foods for milk allergic babies: handy hints

2009-11-27T20:02:00.000-08:00

Once your food allergic baby, fed with amino acid hypoallergenic infant formula, is symptoms free and is recovering, gaining weight and growing well, the doctor or dietitian may allow you to start introducing a few foods into your baby’s diet.

The aim of challenging your baby with foods is to find out which food(s) your baby can tolerate and to broaden the child’s diet as much as possible. In this phase, it is important to continue taking the prescribed amount of amino acid hypoallergenic infant formula as it continues to be the major source of nutrition for the baby.

Here are a few things to remember when introducing new foods:
Only introduce new foods when your child is well.

To identify which foods cause symptoms or illness, foods should be introduced one at a time. This way, if your child has an allergic reaction to a food, it can be identified quickly.

Start by introducing foods that are least likely to cause an allergic reaction.
You may be advised to leave 1-2 weeks between the introduction of each food to see which foods are tolerated.
Small amounts of food should be given first. A “pea size” amount should be given the first time. The amount can gradually increase over several days if there are no symptoms.
If symptoms occur, it is important to stop the food being tested, record the symptoms and discuss them with your doctor or dietitian.
If symptoms occur, wait approximately one to three days after symptoms have ceased, before giving another new food.
The frequency with which each new food is introduced (e.g. daily twice weekly, weekly, etc) will vary. Discuss this with your doctor or dietitian.
Continue to give your child those foods that have already been introduced and tolerated.
Always follow the advice of your doctor and/or dietitian.

As new foods are introduced and tolerated, the baby’s diet can become more varied. Different food combinations and recipes using the permitted ingredients can be introduced. At this stage, the amount of amino acid hypoallergenic infant formula may be decreased. This needs to be discussed with your doctor and/or dietitian, that will assess the nutrition content of your baby’s diet and adjust the amount of formula accordingly.

The process of finding foods that can be tolerated can take some time to complete. It can be a difficult time for both the parents and the child.

Some, but not all food allergies are outgrown. It may take awhile (months or years) before it is safe to re-challenge a food that your baby initially reacted to. Discuss with your doctor or dietitian if and when it is safe to re-challenge a food that has been shown to cause a reaction in your baby.

Tips for Surviving an Overdue Pregnancy

2009-11-18T18:03:00.000-08:00

Your belly is huge, your due date has passed, and yet little Susie or Johnny has shown no interest in moving out of his or her cozy home. Your due date is calculated by counting forward 280 days from the start of your last menstrual period. Your due date is only an estimate of when your baby should come and is often off by a number of days. It is very common to deliver past your due date particularly if you are a first time mom. Knowing that it is common provides little comfort when you are the one overdue. Below are our best tips for surviving an overdue pregnancy.

1. Talk to your doctor.

Women have varying opinions on labor and childbirth. Some prefer a natural, wait and see approach, while others are very anxious and eagerly interested in induction. In our mother's generation it was not uncommon to deliver at 42 or even 43 weeks. Presently many doctors will induce at 40 or 41 weeks if your cervix is favorable. If you would prefer the wait and see approach, or your cervix is unfavorable for induction, your doctor or midwife will monitor you and baby closely. You will likely have a non stress test or biophysical profile done once or even twice a week if you are overdue. By 42 weeks your doctor will most likely choose to induce regardless of whether you cervix is favorable or not.

2. Get lots of rest.

The last month of pregnancy is exhausting. You may not be sleeping well due to discomfort and anxiety about your approaching labor. Remember to keep taking your prenatal vitamins and rest as much as you can. Lack of sleep and fatigue can war on your mood. Use a body pillow at night to help you sleep. Take an afternoon nap if you are not sleeping well or just rest with you feet up if sleep is not possible.

3. Finish up preparations for baby.

Now is a good time to finish up those last minute things you need for baby. You may have packed your hospital bag weeks earlier and finished the nursery what seems like ages ago, so here are a few ideas you might not have thought of to keep yourself busy. Install your car seat and have it checked for safety. Many hospitals and insurance companies will do car seat safety checks. Purchase a lullaby CD and set up a rocking chair nearby to rock your baby to sleep. Lastly, if you haven't already now is a good time to buy your husband or partner to bring to work after baby's birth. It's a little old fashioned, but hey some men still do it.

4. Try relaxation and meditation.

If you've never done relaxation exercises or meditation this probably sounds a bit corny, but it can't hurt to try it. Purchase a CD if you don't have one already with relaxing music or sounds from the rainforest or beach. Try slow deep breaths relaxing your muscles one at a time. Alternatively, you can purchase a CD or video that gives specific instructions on relaxation exercises. Now would also be a good time to practice relaxation and breathing exercises form your child birth class.

5. Try natural labor inducers.

There are a few things you can try to induce labor naturally. Foods such as pineapple and eggplant have been suggested as labor inducers. Cooked in a yummy recipe, it's certainly worth a shot. Cinnamon tea made from cinnamon sticks steeped in hot water is another thing you can try. Walking is something else you can try. The verdict is still out as to whether walking actually helps, but a little exercise is good for the body and soul regardless of effectiveness in inducing labor. There are many other tips, tricks, and old wives tales you can try naturally induce labor. Check with your doctor or midwife before trying anything to naturally induce labor.

6. Check fetal movements.

It is very important when you are overdue to keep a close eye on fetal movements. There are variations on how to keep track of fetal kick counts, so talk to your doctor about how to track and monitor your baby's movements. If you notice a decrease or change in your baby's activity call your doctor.

7. Observe for signs of labor.

For some women keeping track of signs of labor will bring comfort and others it is plain out discouraging. As you pregnancy comes to an end your body will show sings or readiness for labor. Increasing Braxton Hicks contractions, pelvic achiness, backache, and increasing vaginal secretions are all early signs or labor. Early labor symptoms can begin weeks before labor, but all these signs are reassuring that your body is indeed getting ready for birth.

8. Keep busy.

Keeping busy will help keep your mind off of things. Here are a few suggestions to keep yourself busy. Take this time to freeze up a few meals for after baby's birth. This will allow you a little extra time and rest when baby is home. Make a belly cast of your pregnant tummy to commemorate your pregnancy. Start a scrapbook album for your baby. You can include mementos from your pregnancy and prepare pages for after baby's birth. Knitting, crocheting, or other hobbies can also be distracting.

9. Ask for help.

If you are having a hard time physically or emotionally ask for support from your family, friends, or health care provider. You may be shouting from the inside, but unless you tell someone they may not know how you feel. If you are having feelings of anxiety or depression talk to your doctor.

10. Do something nice for yourself.

A massage, manicure, or trip to the hair salon are all good ideas to treat yourself at the end of pregnancy. If you can't convince baby to come out and play, at least mommy should have a good time.

Guide to Find a Babysitter

2009-11-18T17:55:00.000-08:00

Determine the night you need the babysitter. You might have an overnight conference, a friend's birthday party, your office's holiday party, or a special date with your spouse. Make sure the date is confirmed so that you can start searching for a babysitter right away.
Ask friends and neighbors for babysitter recommendations. It is always better to receive a recommendation from people whom you trust. If this sitter did a great job with their kids, they will most likely to do a great job with yours.
If the above method does not work out, you need to find a babysitter a different way. It is time to do some research. Call the career services of a near-by college or university, ask at your place of worship, and look around for postings at elementary school or in your work place. You can also sign up for a site online that has profiles of babysitters in your area. You can read these posted "resumes" so that you can find someone nearby who is able to/willing to sit for you.
Call up the list of finalists, i.e. the girls that you thought had the most potential, and interview them over the phone. Ask them for a few references, about their experience, and try to get a good feel for who they are. If they sound mature and friendly, they are still in the running!
Call the girls' references.
For the two candidates that you feel are the best, invite them down to your house for a quick tour and for a trial babysitting period. This "test" can just be for a few hours during a weekend afternoon while you go run errands.
If your kids like both girls, perfect! You have two potential babysitters so if one does not have the date available, then you can call the second. Call one up and schedule her for the date you need!

The process to find a babysitter might seem difficult and time-consuming, but it is very important for you to find someone you and your kids both like. Ideally, you will not need to look for a sitter for many years to come! Good luck and enjoy your night out!

THE IMPORTANCE OF BREASTFEEDING

2009-11-12T18:29:00.000-08:00

Human breast milk to a human newborn constitutes a fundamental necessity for healthy growth and development. In brief, breast milk provides several biologically needed benefits:

Nutrients for maintenance and survival
Various molecules and growth factors for continued growth and development compatible with optimal human biology and physiology
Immune defense against various infections
Emotional support for mental development and stress management

It should also be noted that breastfeeding is good for the mother, too. In fact, several studies have indicated that nursing provides benefits including the following:

Secretion of high levels of the hormone oxytocin, which results in less bleeding and early involution of the uterus
Early recovery of prepregnancy weight
Adequate spacing between pregnancies (often observed in societies where breastfeeding is more popular)
Reduction in osteoporosis and bone fracture and also better mineralization of the skeletal system.
Reduction in the risks of breast and ovarian cancers (even during the postmenopausal period)
Emotional bonding with the newborn child

Several assumptions have been made as to infant nutrition, and some of these assumptions may be based on parental convenience rather than the infant biological needs. It should be noted that after nine months of in-utero growth, the human baby is not fully developed and has an immature gastrointestinal tract that is incapable of handling many food components.
In fact, some studies are pointing to the fact that the nine month period of human gestation is only because of the difficulties that may arise beyond that time to allow normal delivery through the female birth canal.

Thus, although a human baby is born after nine months of gestation under normal conditions,there are several underdeveloped and malformed cellular structures within the GI tract that could not handle solid foods or could be compromised by growth factors and other molecules destined for another species.

In fact, based on the fact that the human digestive system is different from that of the ruminant cow, there are speculations as to the appropriateness of feeding milk that is destined to help develop a ruminant digestive tract to a human baby. Still, in terms of nutrient value, cow milk may be considered as a good substitute to human milk.

Although the development and production of breast milk following the delivery
of a baby is to ensure nutrition in a manner different from the placental route,
it should be noted that the new mother's milk for the baby is not just for food.
It also provides growth factors to help develop the newborn's digestive system, provide some immune protection, help the growth of the friendly bacteria, and other benefits yet to
be determined.

Of course, there are conditions as a result of certain health problems
where the mammalian mother may not be able to provide the required nutrients.
In certain societies, when the birth mother cannot breastfeed her newborn, a relative, friend, or neighbor who may be nursing will help breastfeed the baby.
Under conditions where that option is not available or accepted,
the baby is fed infant formula, which is based on cow's milk or soybean as the main ingredient.
Contrary to certain beliefs, however, breastfeeding is not just a choice
that could be easily voted against in favor of infant formulas.

All mammalian females are characterized by the ability to secrete a
specialized body fluid destined to nourish and further the continuation
of growth and development of the newborn after birth once the placenta ceases
to serve as a nutrient conduit.
The development of the mammary glands starts early during puberty and
is under the influence of various hormones. This development has the nutrient
acquisition of the baby as well as its normal development as its only biological purpose.

Depending on its developmental stage at birth, its digestive system, and other
physiological conditions, each species will have molecules and
growth factors specific for its needs. Considering the fact that a human
newborn is one of the least developed compared to many other mammalian
newborns (especially in their digestive system), it could be a serious
mistake to subject their nascent digestive system to dietary molecules that are
difficult to hydrolyze or to expose their cells to growth factors that may
undermine their proper growth and differentiation.

Every species in nature has their biological and biochemical characteristics
that define it. In order for all of the biological components of an organism
and for their development to be in a structural and functional homeostasis,
it needs all the growth factors as well as nutrients required for their formation.
Some of the main growth factors and important molecules found in human
breast milk that are of vital importance to the human newborn include
the following :

Hormones (prolactin oxytocin, adrenocorticotropin,TSH, growth hormone, thyroxine,cortisol, and insulin)

Growth factors (EGF, IGF-1, hepatocytegrowth factor, lactoferrin, polyamines, and certain milk specific peptides) - Some of these factors act on the GI tract while others enter the systemic blood flow for metabolic action and regulation.
Neuropeptides (neurotensin, substance P, somatostatin, and vasoactive peptide). Each of these key molecules has important functions in the development of the immune and nervous systems. For instance, vasoactive peptide stimulates the secretion of IgA and the activation of lymphocytes while substance P stimulates T cells and macrophages and also induces production of IL-12 by macrophages. In fact, these neuropeptides act on several immune cells and may constitute the bridge between thenervous system and the immune system inthat they determine how emotions controlimmunity.
Anti-inflammatory agents (antioxidants, enzymes degrading inflammatory mediator molecules, EGF, antiproliferative and antiinflammatorycytokines).
Immune modulators (nucleotides, antiidiotypic secretory IgA antibodies, prolactin, and cytokines)

Although similar molecules are found in the milk of other species,
they may not play the same role, as the biology and the physiology of these
animals are not the same as in humans. Thus, any time the continuity of supplying the biologically designated food substrates for growth
and development is compromised by severing the human baby from breast
milk, the consequences may be life-long and will include the poor development
of various systems and an increased risk of disease.
Thus, abstaining a baby from breast milk will impair the following:

Development of the villi
Synthesis of various brush border enzymes
Maturation of various GI tract cells
Proper growth and promotion of necessary probiotics
Overall maturation of the gastrointestinal tract

Nutrient acquisition constitutes the main vehicle through which the various
cells in the body receive their needed nutrients. Any compromise of these
needs early on in life can have serious consequences in the development
process and can perpetuate deficiencies that may be difficult to correct.
In fact, studies are now showing that the types of weaning diets, the time
of introduction of solid foods into the baby's digestive system, the molecular
composition of the diet, and even the mother's general nutritional and health
status could program the baby for major health problems later in life.
For instance, some dietary changes or habits occurring during pregnancy or
in the early days after birth have been reported to increase the risk of
developing diabetes and hypertension later on in adult life. These factors
are in addition to the risks inherent in a lack of breastfeeding.

Breast milk constitutes one of the mother's major gifts to her newborn.
It is provided to the child in order to prepare him or her to the challenges of adult diets.
Finally, since several factors in addition to breast milk could affect the proper
development and functionality of the digestive system, every effort should be
taken to optimize the digestibility and absorption of nutrients once proper
foods have been selected for ingestion as the child continues to grow.

Cooking

2009-11-05T22:24:00.000-08:00

There's nothing very difficult about cooking for your baby. It just requires a little extra care and attention in the preparation of the ingredients.

Here's the basic procedure:

1. PREPARE YOURSELF
Always wash your hands with soap and hot water and dry them with a clean towel before you start cooking. Likewise, carefully wash your equipment (blender, pots, bottles, etc.) before use.

2. PREPARE THE FOOD
Always wash, peel and dice fruit and vegetables before cooking. If there are any seeds/stones, remove them.

If you're preparing meat, cut away all the fat before cooking. Once cooked, cut the meat into very small pieces and remove any bone or other hard bits.

If you're preparing fish, remove any fat, bones and other hard bits before cooking. Once cooked, crumble it into small pieces and remove any remaining traces of bone and skin.

3. COOKING THE FOOD
With the exception of avocados and bananas, all fruits and vegetables must be cooked before giving them to your baby
(until he's at least 10 months of age).

Fruit and vegetables can be steam-cooked, boiled, or micro-waved. Some fruits like apple or pear can also be oven-cooked.

Steam-cooking is the best option because it retains the most nutrients. If you don't have a steam-cooker, don't worry, boiling or micro-waving is fine. Keep the water to a minimum and try to strike a balance between not over-cooking (to retain the maximum amount of nutrients) and not under-cooking (to make digestion easier).

NOTE: Beet, carrots, turnip and spinach should always be boiled (as opposed to steam-cooked or micro-waved) because they contain potentially harmful nitrates which are largely removed during the boiling.

Meats and fish can be cooked in any manner you like (steam-cooked, boiled, micro-waved, etc.). Just be sure that they're well cooked and that you remove all fat bits and hard bits before serving. (If frying or roasting meat or fish, try to avoid adding fat - or keep it to a bare minimum).

Don't add any salt, fat or sugar to your baby's food. It isn't necessary.

4. SERVING THE FOOD
Use a food blender (or a mashing fork) to mix the food to the right texture for your baby.

If he/she is just starting out with solids, then the food should be completely 'liquified'. As your baby matures, you can gradually make the food slightly thicker and slightly chunkier (beginning with 'chunks' no bigger than a grain of salt). Give your baby time to adjust at every stage of the progression.

If you have cooking water, you can add some to the food to smoothen it or make it less dry (except for carrots, spinach, beets and turnip -- use fresh water or milk instead).

Remember that your baby's mouth is much more sensitive to heat than yours. His/her food should be warm, not hot.

IN CONCLUSION...
Really, the two most important points to bear in mind when cooking for your baby are: (1) Make sure that he/she is able to comfortably deal with the texture of the food, and (2) Avoid preparing foods that are inappropriate for his/her age.

Everything else is just plain old cooking.

The 6 Key Points to Preparing Your Own Baby Food

2009-11-05T22:22:00.000-08:00

Congratulations on taking the decision to prepare your own food for your baby! By doing so, you're treating him to two of life's greatest gifts -- good health and delicious food.

Before you get started, here are some important points to keep in mind...

1. One at a Time
Introduce new foods to your baby's diet one at a time. Allow at least five days between each new food. This will give you time to spot any allergic reactions. Introduce them at breakfast or lunch to reduce the risk of any allergic symptoms developing during the night. Be sure to only give your baby foods that are appropriate for his/her age.

2. Take it in Steps
Make the progression from thin liquid purées to more solid, chunkier meals slowly, making sure that your baby is able to cope comfortably with the new texture every step of the way.

3. Keep it Wholesome
Add no salt, little or no sugar and little or no fat to your baby's food. Let's leave the unwanted additives to the baby food manufacturers. Even if, to you, the food seems to lack something, your baby won't mind (it's still much tastier than anything that comes in a jar).

4. Don't Force Your Baby to Eat
We all have a tendency to over-react if our little bundle of joy doesn't want his/her supper. But, remember, we all have times when we just don't feel hungry -- it's just that your baby has no way of telling you this. Give him/her the amount he/she wants, no more and no less. Don't worry, he/she will make up for it next time.

5. Don't Forget the Basics
Always test the temperature of the food before you serve it. Keep in mind that your baby's mouth is more sensitive than yours. Be sure to pay attention to good hygiene practices when preparing your baby's food.

6. Never Before at least 4 Months
You may find that friends or family -- with the best of intentions -- will tell you to begin adding cereals to the bottle when your baby is just a few weeks old. The story goes that this will help him/her sleep better at night.
Please ignore this advice -- it is a myth. Your baby's body isn't ready to cope with any solid foods yet.
Do NOT give your baby ANY solid foods before he/she reaches at least four months of age. Most babies begin the transition somewhere between five and seven months. (The AAP recommends 6 months as the best age to start and certainly no later than eight months).

Finally, always keep in mind that every baby is unique. While there are some rules that are true for every child, feeding your baby is largely a process of 'learning on the job'.
After all, it's your baby who'll let you know when he/she is ready to try out new foods and it's your baby who'll tell you what he/she likes or doesn't like.

Use good old common sense. Follow the guidelines, but don't be ruled by them.

Have Fun!

Five Reasons For Preparing Your Own Baby Food

2009-11-05T22:16:00.000-08:00

Are you undecided whether you should prepare your own baby food or just buy it from the store? If so, then take a look at these 5 good reasons for doing it yourself - they may help you make up your mind...

1. It's Healthier and More Nutritious
Commercial baby foods contain additional fat, salt, sugar, fillers or other ingredients that are completely unnecessary (and often inappropriate) to your baby's diet. These additives are an attempt to add flavor, texture and bulk to poor-quality products. They contribute nothing at
all to your baby's health or well-being. By preparing the food yourself, you can be sure that your baby is getting exactly what his/her little body needs - and nothing that it doesn't.

2. You're in Control
By preparing your baby's food yourself, you know exactly what your baby is eating. When you prepare an apple sauce, you know he/she is getting fresh, pure apple and all the goodness it contains. However, when you buy apple-sauce at the store, you'd almost need a degree in nutrition just to decipher the list of ingredients.

3. It's Easy
Once you get started cooking for your baby, you'll quickly realize just how easy it is. All you need is a food blender and some fresh ingredients to quickly prepare healthy, tasty, home-made meals for your little one. Furthermore, by making large amounts of his/her favorite meals in advance, and then freezing them for later, you'll be able to serve up delicious, healthy meals in minutes -- every day of the week.

4. It's Much Cheaper
The prices that baby food manufacturers charge for their products is nothing short of scandalous and are in no way justifiable. The reason they can charge so much is because
they've conditioned most parents to believe that they have no choice but to buy from them. By preparing your baby's food yourself, you can avoid being a victim of this daylight robbery, and find yourself with extra cash to spend on all those other things that a growing baby needs.

5. It's Very Gratifying
Watching your baby enjoy the meal you've just prepared for him/her is already a very gratifying experience. On top of that, however, you have the satisfaction and pride of knowing that you're giving your child the gift of a healthy and nutritious diet - and saving yourself money as well.

And finally...

If all that weren't enough, here's another great reason to do it yourself: home-made baby food is much tastier than any commercial product. Delicious food is one of life's great pleasures and your baby deserves to enjoy the rich flavor and texture of real home cooking just as much as you or I.
After all, none of us would enjoy eating 'TV Dinners' morning, noon and night - and that goes for your baby too!
