Baby love breakfast

Good morning darlings, what a beautiful Sunday it is in Malawi. Birds chirping, sun is shining I am alive and well. What more can I ask for. A friend of mine was kind enough to add me to a group on FB called for moms and dads with little babies. I quite like being on this group becaue even though I do not post on it much I enjoy knowing that I am not the only mommy who feels she might be getting it wrong sometimes,that there are many like me enjoying their journey in parenthood-ville. This post is dedicated to moms who are not sure about what to feed their baby after the introduction to solids. I have one tip, IMAGINATION!!!! Think outside the box. In fact think as though there is no box. To get you started let me tackle breakfast. This is the most important meal of the day. It gives us the fuel we need to face the day head on. While babies don't do much they too have an active life full of exploration, so it is vital that they have a very nutritious breakfast. From the day Isabella, my daughter was introduced to solids, she has had Likuni Phala as her main porridge of choice. This is because it is not only cheap, but it is choka block full of vitamins and essential nutrients. Now to feed a child just plain Likuni phala would after sometime become boring and the child will refuse to eat, the keyword is imagination here. So cook it as instructed and add either peanut butter, stork, chopped soft fruit such as banana, avocado, peaches, the list is endless. Because I do not give my baby sugar, for me the sugar comes from the fruit, but that is a personal choice up to you as a mother. But it is highly recommended that babies are not given sugar. To give her a break from Likuni I let her have natural yoghurt with chopped fruit for breakfast. Another cereal that I always have for my little one is Purity baby cereal and I prepare it as instructed but go the extra mile by adding chopped fruit for texture so that she practices and develops her chewing skills. Alright I must go now because the little madam is reaching for the iPad making it rather difficult to type. I wish you peace, love and good eats!!!!
