Day 1 of Unsalted Butter

This is the first time I am introducing unsalted butter to my boy. This helps to add some flavour into his food. I only introduce butter when he is  8.5 to 9 months old not younger. Never use margarine, only use butter when cooking baby/children food.

Schedule for Today:
Morning (8 am to 9 am): Breastmilk
Noon (11 am to 12pm): Lunch, continue with breastmilk as and when needed
Early Afternoon (2pm to 3pm): Some fruit puree & breastmilk as and when needed
Late Afternoon (5pm to 6pm): Dinner & breastmilk as and when needed
Night (after 6pm): Breastmilk

Allergy Reaction:
No allergy was observed

Texture of Food:
Same as previously.

Amount of Food:
The amount of food is 5 tablespoons of mashed potatoes+ breastmilk + 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.

Baby reaction:
He loves his mashed potatoes.

Notes:
I am just trying to add some flavour into his meal. I choose unsalted butter instead of salted ones. Tomorrow, I will cook potatoes, rice, broccoli together and add 1 teaspoon of butter into the porridge.

Age:
8 months
