Have been so busy with life (you know...the standard stuff...Mastitis...viral infection in baby...passing of our beloved family dog "Pipi"....) these days that it has been hard to find time for blogging. With the beginning of a new week, hopefully things will go a lot smoother....
Our baby's paediatrician suggested us to start spoon feeding our baby at 5 months~ and so we did! Instead of starting her on the usual rice cereal, I started her on sweet potato instead! Sweet potatoes are a good source of beta carotene, fibre, potassium and vitamins C and E.
We bought the T-fal two in one steamer + blender at the baby home show a couple weeks back. It was on sale at the Sear's counter for just over a hundred dollars. I like that it steams and blend in one machine! This way I don't have to worry about getting separate steamer/pots for cooking baby's food. The machine is very easy to use. Practically one "switch" operation! Turn left to turn on the steaming function (length of time depends on the amount of water you put in). Turn right to turn on the blender. The only tricky thing to this machine is that you have to fit everything in it's place perfectly for the lid to lock into place....but with a few practices, it really isn't a big problem. Cleaning is also really easy. Everything is dish washable! It also comes with a scraper, water measuring cup, three glass containers with lid to store extra food as well as a recipe book and a quick guide! I've used this machine a few times so far and am pleased with it. It takes only approximately 7 minutes to cook and puree fresh food for my baby which she seems to enjoy (so far!)....
