My husband has told me time and again that I am too paranoid when it comes to my baby. I don’t consider myself paranoid…I think I’m just cautious (insert my snort here).
I know now lot of things which could have saved myself a whole lot of undue stress and problems. I think with proper eating habits, my baby would be so much better off in the future that’s why it’s so important for me to start today.
Here are the things I insist on with my baby:
- Water, water, water
- No artificial juices, no tetra pack, no canned juices
- Definitely no sodas
- No chocolate….yet (until she’s around 4)
- No nuts (because of allergies)
- No fish sauce
- No MSG
- Very limited sweets (she has treats once a week like half a stick of Champola Strawberry, 4 pieces of Hello Panda Milk Flavor, 15 pieces of Honey Stars, etc)
- No ice cream yet (too sweet)
- No fast food…
- No instant noodles
These rules make feeding her a bit more difficult in terms of preparation. I try to research here and there to come up with ideas on feeding my baby who’s almost a year and a half. Most sites and books recommend feeding babies table food at this stage. I cannot follow this advice as the food my husband and I eat are soooo unhealthy! We don’t want to subject Andrea to that kind of diet (yeah yeah I know we should stop eating unhealthy food…that’s another blog’s worth of drama)

This is amazing Libby. You are such a good mom!!!!!!!!
Andrea’s going to have perfect teeth!
Gee, Tyler loooves his honey stars, and lucky me, and champola (the whole container-small size of course). But I also insist on the water, no sodas, no nuts, and no MSG. Hmmmmm…
