Day 1 of Pumpkin Puree

Today is the first time I am giving my boy pumpkin puree. Pumpkin is nutritious. I did not buy one whole pumpkin because it will be too big. Now in supermarket, they are selling 1/4 to 1/2 size pumpkin. So I bought those. I cut the pumpkin into smaller size and wash them up. I steamed the pumpkin together with the skin for about 15-20 minutes. After that I scraped out the flesh and grind/blend it into puree. I added 1 tablespoon of rice cereal into the puree and use breastmilk to thin the puree.







Schedule for Today:

Morning (8 am to 9 am): Breastmilk

Noon (11 am to 12pm): Pumpkin puree with rice cereal, continue with breastmilk as and when needed

Afternoon (4pm to 5pm): 3 tablespoons of rice cereal with breastmilk & breastmilk as and when needed

Night (after 6pm): Breastmilk



Allergy Reaction:

No allergy reaction observed.



Texture of Food:

Same as previously.



Amount of Food:

The amount of food is 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree and 1 tablespoons of rice cereal. Add breastmilk to thin the puree.



Baby reaction:

Baby seems alright with the taste of pumpkin but occasionally he will spit out some. With a little of distractions he managed to eat every thing up.
