Feeding A Baby

I'm going to start babysitting my cousin who just turned one. It has been about 15 years since I fed little kids and I hardly remember what to feed them. I know that babies don't eat much so I won't make him anything different than I make for myself. Since we'll be eating together and babies are messy it's just safer for me for him to eat gluten free lunches with me anyway. So, what do I feed a baby? Other than telling me he'll "eat anything" and not to feed him salt his parents aren't providing much guidance on this for me. I know he's too young for my usual salads and fresh veggies or to share a smoothie with me for breakfast. At least breakfast is easy, I can eat before he gets here and throw cheerios at him. (Figuratively of course.)

niffy food styling sites, they create such cute plates

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of just steaming the veggies. I can't say I've been terribly sharp lately. I refuse to feed him junk. My husband suggested things like canned pastas. Other than the fact that it would lead to needing a bath, I just don't want to feed him that kind of crap. (His mom did mention one of his favorite foods is boxed mac & cheese. :blink: And his dad talks about him eating healthy stuff!) Guess it's time to make friends with google and re-learn how to feed a kid. My biggest concern is simply cc at the table. His eggs this morning became quickly airborne so I suspect it may only take a moment for his food to end up on my plate.

I was lucky enough today to be off the hook already for lunch. I came to my "real" job to teach and left my husband to feed him. As an added bonus I also missed his post-lunch... diaper. B)

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Although labeling products in the USA as "gluten-free" that contain such wheat starch is relatively new, it has been offered in Europe for decades. You can read more about studies on it here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!
