My little boy is one active little one. So active that he has hardly put on any weight. In fact, he looks like he’s lost some of his baby fats. I haven’t weighed him for a long time already, so I don’t know exactly how much weight he’s lost or how slow he’s putting on.
So nowadays, in between his milk feeds and his main meals of porridge, I try to feed him with snacks. Some milk biscuits, some fruits. Today I decided to make him a healthy carb loaded snack for tea time – mashed potato with milk.
I bought some small sized potatoes from my regular organic shop and put one to boil in a pot of water until it turned soft. Then I peeled off the potato skin and mashed it up with a fork until it was almost a powdery texture. I fed baby a few spoonfuls of them and he seemed to like it, clapping his hands and all.
Then I scooped up some into another bowl and added some warm milk into it and stirred it in well. It became cereal-like and I guess a little easier to swallow, if you ask me. Baby liked it this way too.
