Recipe: Peachy Milkshake

Ingredients

1. 1 peach (peeled & cut into smalle pieces)

2. 30ml formula or breast milk (add more as required)

Method

1. Put the peach pieces and milk into the blend. Voila!

2. To thicken the puree, you may add plain rice cereal (optional)

Extra

For babies just starting on solids, you may want to steam/boiled/baked the fruit for a while to break down the fibres for easy digestion before you blend it with milk.

For older kids, can replace with chilled full cream milk. Add more peaches as u wishes!

Peaches are high in vitamins and good for babies with constipation!

Jade's so smart...

Jade was playing with the fan I thought. She mumbled 'fan'. As usual, I'll say 'no. Don't play with the fan. ' she went on pressing the button a few times until she is satisfied then she turnedn look at me, "nehneh(breastmilk) , please."

Usually I'll throw her on the mattress n ask her to find her piglet while I adjust the fan n close the door to latch her on.

Somehow what she did just now stunned me. Before 'playing' with the fan, she gave me some kisses. This makes me feel the more that she can plan or expresed her feeling.

She kissed me, adjusted the fan(mimic me), then tell me what she wanted. Suddenly I feel so touch.

Jade is now 15mths. Walking and eating three solid meals ,a teabreak (usually consist of fruits smoothie), a morning nap latch on. Now she wakes up once at night not necessary to be latch on. Sometimes she just wantto sleep on my tummy. So sweet right.
