imtiaz's first food

finally, imtiaz's is already 6 month old...so it's time for his first food!...we were all very excited to feed him with his first food...and alhamdulillah, a pat on my back too for successfully exclusive breastfed him for 6 months...yeay!

so, i decided to give him carrot puree as his very first food...i opted for natural, homemade food as jihan had previous history to manufactured baby's food during her weaning....so, it is better, healthier and safer to give imtiaz a homemade food to prevent allergy reaction....

i started preparing his food after sahur....i cleaned and cut the carrot into small pieces and steamed it until soften...then i pureed the carrot till smooth...when about to feed him, i add some breastmilk to the puree to give it a smoothie consistency...i refrigerated the rest of the puree for lunch and dinner...

the first bite, he gave me a weird face, then he started to lick all corners of his mouth....it was a fun experience for him and for us who watched him till he finished a tablespoonful of puree....he still breastfeed in between the feeds and on the first day of weaning, he already took 3 meals per day...! he simply loves meal time....!

today, he had carrot and potato puree plus breastmilk....and for tomorrow, he'll have potato and spinach puree....even though imtiaz has started on solid food, i still breastfeed him and plan to do so until he is at least 2 years old....
