Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

Easy and Healthy Recipes For Babies and Toddlers

Mini Dumplings

Dairy-free No-added-salt No-added-egg Vegetarian

Ingredients

150 g lean minced chicken or fish meat
1 small shallot
1 stalk spring onion
3 medium dried shitake mushrooms (soaked and diced into tiny pieces)
1 medium carrot shredded very thinly
1/2 tsp salt
About 20 pieces fresh wonton skin (round shape)
Plain flour for coating

Stove or oven method:

Blend shallots and spring onion together into a paste.

Mix well with meat, mushroom, carrot and salt, this will be the filling for the dumplings.

Cut wonton skins into semi circles to yield about 40 pieces.

Place about 1 tsp of filling in the middle of a semi circle shaped wonton skin and seal edges with a little water.

Coat wonton with a flour to prevent sticking.

Arrange each floured wonton apart from each other on a tray and freeze.

It usually takes about 10 minutes to freeze. After wontons are frozen solid, store in a zip-loc bag.

Tips:

Drop desired number of frozen wontons into bioling water. When water biols again, pour about 1/2 cup of tap water into the pot and when it starts to biol again, wontons are usually ready.

Serve hot either 'dry' with a little canola or sesame oil to prevent sticking or 'soup' with some chicken stock.
