My little Kenyan-mix boy has been raised on 4C, which he started at 4 months (Kenyan maternity leave is too short!) Now 15 months, he eats everything as long as he does it himself... spaghetti or sukuma, he eats it all! Good luck with your sweetie & I will check back for updates :-) jvk hi! great to see another baby blog - your baby is precious & I love the local tips!

I think you are very lucky having a baby who eats without a fuss there is nothing as frustrating as trying all the recipes in the book only to have all your food thrown all over your face and everywhere else...and none actually entering the mouth. All the best Yummy little girl:grin:

My daughter turned 22 weeks yesterday and I gave her solids for the first time today (oatmeal). Prior to today I breastfed exclusively, but she's been salivating while staring at my food so I figured it was time. btw, she is absolutely beautiful!!! It was nice stumbling upon this post.

It is a combination of wimbi, millet, sorghum, maize meal, peanuts and sugar cane and for added zest they include different flavors like Mango, Banana and Carrot. It is absolutely excellent and I had no problem with constipation at all. My mom came with a suitcase full from Nairobi and it made the entire weaning process very, very easy plus the nutritional value is unbeatable. When we ran out I resorted to Organic oatmeal or multi-grain cereal......nothing came close but luckily she had already moved on to her pureed fruits and veggies..... Other recipes that have worked for me with a fussy eater :) very ripe bananas with avocado, apple sauce w/carrots and a dash of cinammon and maple syrup to 'kick it up a notch', organic milk powder or baby formula mixed with green veggies, it 'sweetens' them. Happy burping, spoon feeding and other adventures! <strong> Thanks for the tips...this is encouraging me to do more mama blogging. </strong> Tip to mamas………there is an excellent uji mix for weaning babies back home i.e. in Kenya, it is called “4C” and is readily available in Uchumi, Nakumatt et al.

Can I ask how often are her feeds now? and her sleep patterns now that she is on solids. <strong>Sarah, check your inbox. </strong> Thanks for the tips, I have four more weeks before the hard work.

I was trying to hold out till he was six months, lakini pressure pressure and I gave in... he has not pooped since yesterday, when I gave him maize uji!.... so I am waiting for him to poop before I try again. Otherwise he liked it quite a lot. Keep the posts coming. Liking them very much and she is truly cuteness personified. Much as I wanted a baby boy... I think baby girls have all the fun, the cute clothes, the hair stuff... ahh... just cuteness! <strong> I know what you mean about fighting off pressure...the two grandmothers were not buying the four months story. They say rice cereal is easier to digest than uji or maize cereal, so if he's not pooping maybe switch to something else.
