Hi Mam,
Your products and website is an awesome find and a definite keeper. I was looking for basics to start weaning my lil one and you have been gracious to document it all in the website. I have a query which has been lingering behind my head for a while. you had mentioned abt the 3 day thumb rule while starting on new solids. But when I look at the chart, that’s applicable only during the 6th month. From the 7th month the diet chart has a well balanced and nutritious meal, but I don’t see the 3 day thumb rule applicable from the 7th month. Please can you clarify on how it needs to be and why.
Thank you,
Nisha
Dear Nisha,
The 3 day rule can be implemented for every new food, but documenting in every food chart will be confusing for the readers, so i have skipped it
Hi Hema,
Thank you for the informative articles. MyLittleMoppet is my reference guide whenever i have a doubt or regarding some traditional myths 🙂
Is it alright to give raw apple or pear puree for infants? because they turn brown once they are blended…
Thanks!!!
Yes you cna give raw purees, it turns brown due to oxidation, better give it within 10 minutes of preparation
