Hi. I am a new mummy of 10 mth old boy. He is fully bf. Consider myself lucky without much problem bf him.Boy is fully latch on. Introduce fruit puree and rice cereal since he is 4mths. He is eating porridge and baby pasta as main lunch and dinner, with bf for breakfast, light meal and before sleep.

Hi Hi, thought BB can only eat rice cereal and solids at 6 months...? You check with his doctor already?

It’s possible to feed bb food at 4mths. Baby books do state that bb can eat bb food from 4-6 mths old and commercial bb foods do cater for it.


My PD also told me that bb can eat at 4mths but I prefer 6 mths. So I started my bb only after she was 6mos.

I started feeding my bb at 7 mths cos I am prone to food allergies. BB is now almost 9 mths. Can anyone share with me what type of local veg is ok to feed BB, cos all books are always limited to Western Vegs!

At this stage, I feeding her veg that can be softe via steaming.

Autumnbronze,


I don't know the mechanism by which EPO helps, but it's been recommended as a possible treatment for plugged ducts. See the kellymom website: http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/vitamins/lecithin.html

The reference to EPO is at the bottom of the page.
Since I have EPO at home (not very consistent I'm taking it though), I thought I should take more!

Hi MummyThreeStreams,

Okie, will check out the webbie.

Thanks for your reply

Have you tried Spinach, Chinese radish (daikon), sweet potato?

I have tried sweet potato already, hmmm will try spinach and radish next as per your suggestion.

When do you think is a good time to introduce garlic, cabbage, lettuce, kai lan, siew pak choy, dou miau, bean sprout?

Hi, yes, my PD just told me this yesterday! That at 4 months can feed rice paste already but other solids wait till 6 months! Anyway I will wait until at least 6 months when BB can sit up then feed him. Although PD said if start feeding at 4 mths BB would be more receptive to taking food....

Is it? All my 3 kids started at 6mos, no major prob about accepting solids
