Started giving her good food I just started giving her cooked food, I just can't get myself to giving her raw like Dr. Pitcairn's book tells you. I just bought the book yesterday and it' a little far out for me. I haven't read much, but what I have read means a lot of home work. This is what I do now for her 2 meals a day.(Age 7 mo.) ½ cup of smashed Nutro Ultra and brown rice,not to much, cooked chicken, cooked green beans, small pieces of cooked potato add chicken stock from cooked chicken, just enough to moisten it. Stir it all up and looks like moist stuffing. The other day I gave her baked sweet potato and she loves it. But according to the book I am not still doing very good. Here is a video of Dixie cleaning up her plate of home cooking.:animal36 Ginny http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...5&ctime=100503 Can any one give me some less complicated ways of home feeding her, but not RAW foods??????????? |
Home Cooking Really happy to hear that you also cook for your baby. I do the same, I am very luck Sir Lee Roy eats very well, I ulternate between Chicken and Beef, with vegies and he eats very well, If you have a slow cooker cook enough for the week freeze what you do not use and then you will not have to cook everyday!:animal36 |
Ellie gets homecooked food. She gets about 40-60% boneless skinless chicken breast, ground turkey or turkey breast (not seasoned, no skin and as little fat is possible). For a carb she gets rice (brown is best) or barley and will be getting wheat pasta (carb will make up about 20-25% of diet). For veggies she gets (20-25% also) zuccini, carrot, broccili, green pepper, yelloe squash or green beans. Usually she gets 2-3 kinds of veggies making up the 20-25%. She gets 1/4 cup of this mixture in the morning, 1/4 at night and 1/8-1/4 midday. Sometimes she gets a spoonful of cottage cheese or plain yogurt or a bite of raw veggies (lettuce, carrot, green pepper, cucumber) or fruit (apple, banana, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberry). Most people also give a vitamin supplement. It is so overwhelming to make sure they are getting everything they need. |
The thing about homecooking long-term is that they need certain supplements, from what I have read...Particularly calcium carbonate... |

I am going to look into the vitamin part of this and I know that is important. Thanks for your info.............................Ginny |
Dr. Pitcairs give a recipe for the healthy powder to be put in the food. I don't cook any of his recipes, nor do I put the healthy powder in anything before it's cooked. Too much of a waste for me. The sweet potatoes are great. Try mashing some albacore tuna and grated mild cheddar cheese into it. They go nuts for it. You can do the same thing with a russet potato. Buy the canned salmon, add a beaten egg, unseasoned bread crumbs and cheddar cheese, mix well and make little patties and fry in a little olive oil on low for about 5 minutes on each side. You can even add grated carrots and steamed broccoli to this before frying. There are MANY ways to give them healthy meals. |
It all sounds good Does anybody just do the RAW meals, I really don't want to do that. I like every body's input and I will keep in mind on all you folks wrote. Thanks,.................................Ginny;) |

I don't feed raw meat but I wanted to clarify that most people use organic plain yogurt. There are more active cultures in it. |
