Feed Your Child Right - GOOD BOOK!

I finally bought this book and it has a whole lot of information on nutritional facts and tells you what to eat even during pregnancy...*sigh* I wish I had gotten this much earlier! But nevertheless, I think this is a great guide once I start Isaac with solid in about 10 days' time!

Happy weaning and hopefully no more constipation!

Wish List - Book

I am heading down to the bookshop this weekend to get this book, Feed Your Child Right, The First Complete Nutrition Guide for Asian Parents. I have seen this book before Isaac arrived but didn't buy it then. it's been recommended by an IBF (Isaac Blog Fan) and even my sister-in-law thinks that this is a great book. So, another shopping trip this weekend to get myself ready to feed Isaac right.

P/S : Decided to stop Isaac's solid food as there were traces of blood yesterday again after I started him with his cereal.

Porridge vs Purees

In many Asian households, porridges rather than purees are the first foods offered to babies. Parents and caregivers go to great lengths to buy the best and even expensive ingredients to add to the porridge. Much care is taken to cook the porridge over low heat until the final product is very soft and flavourful. Many parents are convinced that it is best to follow this traditional practice, as slow-cooked porridges are very nourishing and easy for baby to eat........precious ingredients are lost through prolonged cooking.....

First Foods

I have been recommended this book by many local parents here in Singapore and yes, immediately, I headed down to Borders and bought a copy. It's a great book that covers basic nutritional requirements for babies and for a bad cook like myself, those simple, easy to follow recipes really help. Although Isaac is not on solids yet, I am looking forward to following the recipes in this book and explore this whole new journey with him!

For Singaporeans, this book can also be found at the Singapore National Library, click here for the location of the book, but so far, I think it's only for reference, not available for borrowing.
