nope nope hey busy bees this is my life
[Music]
so today we are back for Monday's so
many of you guys showed interest in
wanting to see baby food so today I'm
gonna share with you what baby
air-sea eats in a day keep in mind that
I'm feeding her based on what a nine
month old should be eating so feel free
to adjust as you're supposed to for
earlier stages or later stages if you
guys want to see more mom days or baby
stuff on the channel be sure to hit that
subscribe button below and give poohbear
a big thumbs up I'll go ahead and get
started with showing you guys what I
feed her for breakfast so breakfast is
probably the easiest meal of the day for
her at least all I do is add a tiny
little bit of banana which I will do
right now and she seems to like this
meal the most probably because it's a
little bit tangy sweet I just started
giving her bananas last week and she
loves it so just a tiny little bit of
bananas like that and then I'll add a
tiny little bit of avocado for texture
look guys this is like a perfect avocado
I love it so I'm just gonna scrape in
like half of this and typically I see
the other half for later for lunch or
something or if I'm really hungry I'll
just make myself an avocado toast but I
will do that and then I'll just mash
them together that's good and then I
just add about a quarter cup of yogurt
and just mix it all together
[Music]
so for the yogurt I like using the
thinner runny or yogurt just because I
feel like Greek yogurt is to thicken she
doesn't like that texture so I use like
the European or the Australian style
ones you can find that at any grocery
stores nowadays but this is pretty much
your breakfast looks yummy right she
likes it
alright let's feed this to her this is
my favorite part you guys I actually
share almost all my baby feedings on
Instagram stories and it's probably my
favorite part of the day sometimes it's
a struggle because she all right I need
to stop talking and feed her because she
knows what this is
[Music]
I think she likes it so I tried to leave
it kind of chunky so that she can play
with it in her mouth the texture is good
at this stage when she was a little
younger I used to puree everything super
smooth so that it would go down easily
okay so to make her lunch and dinner I
typically steam everything I recently
got this steamer right here by all-clad
and it's like a game changer it's big it
has like small holes at the bottom and
pretty much it cooks everything evenly
and fast which is the most important
part of this whole process so lately
I've been giving her a kabocha squash
which is like a pumpkin / butternut
squash in taste um I really like it and
she does too so here I cut them up
really small the pieces up really small
and probably just like half a cup and
then 1/2 a cup of apples and because I
always like to add some kind of greens
this time she's having kale
close the lid and I'll let it steam for
about five to eight minutes just until
they're cooked through I don't want to
overcook them because I don't want to
lose their nutrients we're gonna puree
it anyway so it's gonna be totally good
she loves chicken so usually I will just
cook them up like this either I'll steam
them or boil it I know it's super bland
but it's okay I don't like to salt it or
anything just keep it really simple and
sometimes either for a lunch or dinner
depending on how difficult you being I
will tear some pieces up like this and
let her feed herself she doesn't exactly
have she doesn't have any teeth yet so I
need to be careful to tear them up into
really small chunks so that she can
swallow or move him around in her mouth
so when I first started feeding err
Siebe solids um I heard that these
things were really great like this mesh
feeder basically you put like fruits or
meat or vegetables through here and let
them kind of hold it and feed themselves
but I found that these made such a mess
and none of the food actually got
through like the avocados would just get
stuck in there and it would be so messy
to clean so I don't know about you guys
but I just decided to skip this process
completely and just let her feed herself
and it worked out really well if you
guys have ever used this let me know
what your experience was and if you guys
like you or recommend it but as you can
see she can feed herself just fine the
cutest thing about feeding her like
whole solid foods like this is that she
acts like a squirrel or a chipmunk she
keeps it in her mouth and later on I'll
find it in her mouth still there's a
piece of chicken in there it's it's so
funny she's saving it for later
saving it for emergency food now in
terms of feeding her solid and her milk
intake she still drinks milk she drinks
milk on demand so whenever she has
hunger cues I would give her a bottle
and she'll totally take it her weight
and height is in the 65th percentile so
she's a pretty healthy baby and I'm so
happy about that she's not too picky of
an eater
she'll pretty much eat anything it's
just it's just a struggle when she's not
hungry or she doesn't feel like eating
is when she starts doing these like
raspberries like all over and it gets so
messy so we'll just take a break and
we'll see like okay we'll feed you again
when you're ready
and usually she'll take it again all
right
I think our vegetables are done
[Music]
all right so okay so to finish off the
baby food recipe here I have about half
a cup of canned white beans I like to
use great northern organic Candice
totally fine add it to the blender and
then our chicken breast I don't like to
give her full chicken breast because I
feel like that's too much but I'll cook
a full chicken breast and then I'll save
half of it and just kind of feed it to
her like this for the next few meals and
then use the other half for the baby
food add it in and then our cooked
veggies for the veggies I forgot to
mention earlier that you really could
use any flavor combination that you'd
like I always add a little bit of fruit
in there or at least a sweeter vegetable
like green beans or carrots sweet
potatoes just so there's a little bit of
sweetness so that she would eat it when
we first started giving her solids I
didn't want to give her any fruits at
all cuz I wanted her to eat all her
vegetables and and the really
interesting thing is she loves bell
peppers who would have thought anyways
now I just add a little bit of water
maybe about a quarter to half a cup and
just give it a whirl
[Music]
and that's pretty much it
there's my piece right here that's our
baby food it's super easy and so much
more cost-effective so now what I like
to do is transfer them into these small
4 ounce jars and I would okay this would
keep in the fridge for like a few days
but this would make about 4 to 5
servings and then let's give her some
right now and see if she likes it
[Music]
I've learned if she opens her mouth
again she likes it if she doesn't she'll
just go like this just really cute I
can't tell what this one she did that to
you but she also reopened her mouth so
let's try again so I really enjoy making
our own baby food if you guys want to
see other favorite combinations that
I've made I have them in the highlighted
IG stories on my Instagram page at
Lenny's uncle B's and if you guys want
full recipes for these two they're
always they're always listed on my
Instagram stories so you can take a
screenshot or save I hope you guys like
the baby food ideas it's not only cost
effective I
this little thing only cost me like a
dollar to make because I just use
whatever groceries we buy for ourselves
for the week and then use it for her
food too also it's a lot healthier it's
fresher and it's a lot cheaper I know
one of these like they sell at the
grocery stores for like a dollar each
and this makes like four to five
servings maybe even six so you're saving
a lot of money here anyways if you guys
make your own baby food I would love to
hear what kind of baby food recipe
combinations you like to do or what kind
of struggles you're having with feeding
your baby cuz I'm sure I could relate
