Solids: Squash

After dilly-dallying for one week and one day after he turned six months, we finally started baby on solids this Tuesday, June 30. I've been OC about the whole thing - for weeks I've been thinking and researching about how to prepare and store his food. I have trust issues with the cleanliness of the yayas, well, with everyone really haha because I am so OC. So I wanted to prepare and store his food  myself. I also did not want to buy too much gear so after much thought, I bought a stainless steel steamer basket to steam his food, a Lock&Lock container for the cut up veggies or fruits and a baby food bowl with grinder and spoon. True to my OC-ness, I had another Lock&Lock container where I store said steamer basket and his baby bowl after use. (We love Lock&Lock, sponsor us! Hahaha!)

Monday night I started cutting up a squash into cubes and stored them in the Lock&Lock container. Pedia said to feed him three times a day the same food for three days to check if he has allergies. The squash went into the ref.

Tuesday morning I was up earlier than usual. I steamed three cubes of squash, mashed them in the bowl and squeezed fresh breastmilk on the mush. I then woke up the sleeping hubby for picture-taking haha.

At first, baby was like "Huh?" but then he gobbled every bite! I prepared too much so I did not let him finish everything.

 

Baby be like "The struggle is real." but he actually gobbled everything and cried when we stopped!

I again fed him during dinner and he was making sunggab the spoon once it was near his mouth. And he wailed when we stopped feeding him! Haha! I am such a picky eater growing up so I hope he will not take after me. And Lord give me the strength not to  give in to Cerelac or Gerber hahaha. :)
