25th January 2010. started baby r on SPINACH! plucked the leaves of a few stalks and blanch them in the pot of water over the stove. it was written in the books that this helps to reduce the oxalic acid content of the spinach, which interferes with the absorption of minerals such as iron and calcium.
it was taught in the books to chop up the leaves finely but i didnt do that... after the blanch the leaves were pretty soft. so i mashed them using the lines surface and added some stock to it. this made it easy to pour the mashed spinach into the porridge. then i add the mashed cod fish for baby r! at first baby r wasnt that keen but she ate on. on the 2nd day that i tried spinach with cod fish, she finished her porridge very quickly!
