MUM GIVES BABY FOOD CHALLENGE TO EAT 100 DIFFERENT MEALS BEFORE 1ST BIRTHDAY
WITH VID AND PIX
By Saloni Mathur
Watch as this mum prepares a variety of unique and appealing meals for her 11-month-old son in the hopes of him having 100 different foods before his first birthday.
One meal even includes lamb brains which her son, Eesa was apparently excited to try.
Many mothers believe that exposing babies to different textures of food before the age of one can reduce picky eating in future.
Uzma Khan is one such mum from Australia who is on a mission to give Eesa 100 different foods before he turns one.
She said: “Lamb’s brains were food number 77 that I introduced to my baby. "
She believes that lamb brains are a superfood for babies as they are high in DHA or docosahexaenoic acid.
It is a type of omega-3 fatty acid that's crucial for brain, eye, and cardiovascular health.
Uzma Khan from Australia said: "When Eesa was just three months old, the doctor told me that he was not putting on enough weight.
"He advised me that it was really important for Eesa to start solids and gain the nutrition that he needed.
"I did a ton of research and consulted with doctors, naturopaths, nutritionists, and dentists, to be able to find out what kind of nutrients he needs to have from four months old to 12-months old.
"I created this meal plan as a challenge to help him put on that weight and get all the proper nutrients.
"This challenge also took into account the fussiness that kids develop when they start solids, thankfully the challenge is going very well, he is eating everything I make, and now we are nearly at 100 foods.
“I am the founder of Supermaa, a company dedicated to helping mums feed their babies without fussiness."

00:00I'm on a challenge to give my baby 100 different foods before he turns one.
00:04Today is food number 77 and my baby has finally requested to eat lamb brains.
00:08The reason why he wants to eat lamb brains today is because he knows that it's an absolute superfood for babies.
00:14Lamb brains are high in DHA, which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
00:18This fatty acid is essential for brain, eye, and nervous system development.
00:21Children with low levels of DHA actually showed mood and behavior issues later on.
00:26Lamb brains are also high in vitamin B12, which is essential for neurological development.
00:31Did you know that lamb brains also contain a high level of choline, which is great for memory development?
00:35Lamb brains should be offered in moderation because it does contain a high level of cholesterol.

00:47I'm on a challenge to give my baby 100 different foods before he turns one.
00:51Today is food number 71 and 72 and my baby has requested to eat chicken kebabs.
00:56The reason why my baby asked for chicken kebabs is because he knows it contains the protein and iron he needs for all the growing he's been doing.
01:03This recipe is great for the whole family.
01:05Just take some out for your baby before you add in any salt or chili.
01:09Chicken is packed with protein, which supports tissue repair and the development of muscles.
01:13Because of the high protein in this, your baby is going to feel fuller for longer without any energy crashes or tantrums in between mealtime.
01:20Start off by grating half an onion and rinsing any onion moisture with a cheesecloth.
01:25Then to your chicken mince, add the half an onion, finely chopped coriander and parsley, minced garlic and your herbs.
01:31Here I have used coriander powder, white pepper, sumac, turmeric and cinnamon.
01:36Mix it all together until your fingers hurt and then mix it some more.
01:40My tip to form flat patties is to lightly oil your hands.
01:43This stops the mixture from sticking to your skin.
01:45Use about a full hand worth of mince and roll it into a ball.
01:49Gently flatten with the palm of your hand and press the edges with your fingers to make it even.
01:53Shallow fry each piece until tender and juicy from the inside.
01:56I've used butter here for the healthy fats.
01:58Chop up the patty into soldiers and serve.

02:07I'm on a challenge to give my baby 100 different foods before he turns one.
02:11Today my baby asked me where I'm from.
02:13I said Pakistan.
02:14He then wanted to know where his dad was from.
02:17I said Bangladesh.
02:19He replied, if I'm a fusion of cultures, would it be okay for us to have a fusion of cultures in our food?
02:24So today marks food number 63 to 68 and we're making a fusion of a Maltese dish named Aliotta and the Bengali dish tomato tock.
02:33This recipe takes about 40 minutes to make.
02:36All you have to do is fry off some onion with garlic and ginger.
02:40Add in some tomatoes and add a small amount of tomato paste.
02:43Let it fry with mixed herbs.
02:45Add in water and let the tomatoes soften.
02:48Add a lemongrass stick with finely chopped kale, carrots and bok choy.
02:52Add in about a cup and a half of broth.
02:54I used vegetable broth here.
02:56With as much water as you like.
02:57Let it simmer to let all the aroma and benefits of the vegetables release.
03:02Take out the lemongrass and make sure you take out the lemongrass and use a hand blender to mix the soup together.
03:08Add in bite-sized pieces of basa fillet and a handful of garlic gyro rice and cook until tender.
03:13This was an absolute hit in my household.

03:20I'm on a challenge to give my baby 100 different foods before he turns one.
03:24Today is food number 62 to 64 and my baby has woken up violently craving Nutella.
03:29I decided it was time to pull out the recipe book and make him a homemade hazelnut spread.
03:34The reason why he wanted Nutella today is because he knows that hazelnuts contain healthy fats,
03:39vitamin E for skin health and magnesium for muscle function because of all the walking he's been doing.
03:44This recipe is quite simple to make and the whole family can enjoy it.
03:48Roast a bag of hazelnuts for about 10 minutes to let the oil start excreting.
03:52Then blend it until it's a powdery consistency.
03:55Add some coconut oil or avocado oil, whatever you prefer.
03:58Add in some vanilla extract and cacao powder, not cocoa powder, and keep blending together.
04:04Add in a tablespoon of powdered milk and blend until it's a smooth consistency.
04:08If you're making this for yourself, add some honey and some milk to make it even more creamy.
04:13Store in an airtight jar and keep it in the fridge.
04:15Did you know that in a 2 tablespoon serving of Nutella, it contains approximately 21 grams of sugar?

04:28I'm on a challenge to give my baby 100 different foods before he turns 1.
04:36Today is food number 59 to 61 and my baby has requested I make mutabal.
04:41What most people think is baba ganoush.
04:43The reason why my baby asked for this is because he knows that he needs to test for sesame allergies.
04:48Aubergines are a great source of fiber and antioxidants for babies protecting their brains from oxidative stress.
04:54It also contains B1 and B6 for brain development.
04:57Tahini contains iron which is crucial for babies to support their growth as well as containing omega-6 fatty acids for hormone production.
05:05Sesame is a common allergen and it's important to test in small quantities.
05:09This dish takes less than 20 minutes to make and is an absolute great way to introduce these two foods to your babies.
