Is she ready for solid foods?

Husna dh 4 bulan..tetiba rasa mcm pantas dan tuntasnya masa berlalu..slalu dok terbayang waktu2 perut membuncit dulu, alih2 skrg budak yg dlm perut dulu tu dah pandai ajak org tuanya bersembang tak kira siang or tgh malam..

Menginjak ke usia 4 bulan, pd aku haruslah bersedia dgn ilmu2 solid foods pulak..sbb antara 4-6 bulan adalah waktu2 yg biasanya baby boleh diperkenalkan dgn solid foods..impian aku biarlah bila usianya 6 bulan baru nk start..so for the mean time, susu ibu sudah cukup!

Mungkin ramai yg tidak bersetuju..malah ada yg sudah memperkenalkan solid foods seawal 4 bulan..up to u beb! u know better ur baby rite?? jd kenapa aku pun xturut serta bg seawal 4 bulan??

Mari kita semak samada sesuai or xsesuai. Here are new sign that indicates ur baby is ready for solid foods:

1. Loss of tongue-thrust reflex - This allows baby to drink and swallow liquids with ease; with the tongue-thrust reflex still present, baby may simply drink in liquid purees or push the food back out. According to Dr. Jim Sears, in the first four months the tongue thrust reflex protects the infant against choking. When any unusual substance is placed on the tongue, it automatically protrudes outward rather than back. Between four and six months this reflex gradually diminishes, giving the glob of cereal a fighting chance of making it from the tongue to the tummy - yg ni ader lg..so xlulus
   

   Ability to let you know she is full from a "meal" with signs such as turning away from the bottle or breast. This is important so that baby is able to self-regulate the amount of food being eaten. This helps stop baby from accidentally overeating as parents may continue to feed baby thinking that she is still hungry. - yg ni plak mcm selalu, ok noted!
   

   
   

   Ability to sit up and hold head up unassisted - she is very happy when i sit her up n yes she can hold her head, once again noted!

   
   

   Interest in your food (we tend to disagree with this one as when a baby reaches the age of 4-6 months, he is interested in putting everything in his mouth.) - ha yg ni paling ketara

   
   

   Doubling of birth weight - yg ni plk xlulus sbb berat lahir 3.32kg n now she gain 5.6kg

   
   

   Frequently waking in the middle of the night when a solid sleeping pattern had been established. This may not be the best indicator that your baby is ready for solids. Please keep in mind that a growth spurt will occur between 3-4 months of age, 6-7 months of age and also 9-10 months of age. Baby may also be waking due to an illness or teething.- erm mmg dia kerap bgn skrg ni tp sperti yg diberitahu this may not be the best indicator
   

Jadi dr semua sigh kt atas tu, aku buat kesimpulan, xperlu la lg bg HUsna solid foods..biar dia betul2 lulus semua tapisan kt atas tu baru aku nk start bljr2 bg bubur kosong..kadang2 pernah juga letak buah kt bibir konon2 nk bagi dia rasa ckit tp useless, dia mmg xreti nk hisap pun..hisap jari mmg pakar...maka forget about it..kutip ilmu nk sediakan solid foods, cari resepi2 yg berkaitan dlu..bila sampai masa baru la mulakan operasi

solid food husna..penumbuk kecil
