Here is an interesting website which is going to evoke interest among all readers. Fairly new, it carries an assortment of blogs and articles which will make readers sit up and take notice.
There are various websites which offer answers to these questions. Some of the blogs on. www.newhealthy.com talks of this common worry of mothers and gives suggestions. When a baby is six to eight months old, the parents can think of starting on solid food.
To begin with, the food should be mashed and made into a semi solid consistency. This can be given to the baby to suck and see the taste by the mother dipping her clean finger in the semi solid food and offering it to her baby. A clean spoon can also be used but sucking will give a better taste. Any new food should be started slowly and in small quantity. It should also be one type of food at a time.
The mother should watch and see if the baby is allergic to any type of food or to see if some type does not agree with her. Then it can be discontinued. If the food agrees and she likes it, then more quantity with more frequency can be given. Well cooked vegetables, mashed fruits, cheese, yoghurt and other food can be slowly started.
There are many charts which tell a new mother how much food her child should take. But every child is different and some may need more and some less. The mother should watch the child and see the reaction to the food. If the child likes a certain food, more of it can be given.
There are many baby charts which give mothers a fairly good idea of what to give, when to give and how much to give the baby. But every baby is different. Some may want a certain type of food only while others may want to experiment and like new tastes. Some may want to eat more while others may be content with more milk and less of solids. It all depends. A mother is the best judge of how much to give and when, even though the charts can be guiding lines.
Another favorite topic is chocolates. All chocolates are not bad. There are good chocolates and current research says that black chocolate is good for the heart. It is the type of chocolate and its contents that make the difference. One cannot make a sweeping statement that chocolates are bad for health. They have to be studied and their contents found out before one makes a decision.
