What food for 7-8 months: Video transcript [1]
Me whāngai tonu tō pēpi ki tō waiū (paura rānei) i mua i ngā kai. Me whānui ake, me tātangi ake hoki ngā kai i te tipu haere o te tamaiti.
Me whakaranu haere tonu ngā miti, ika, heihei maoa hoki. |
Me whāngai ki ngā huarākau me ngā huawhenua penupenu tino maoa, nīti penupenu maoa (pēnei i ngā patapoki), hēki penupenu maoa, tīhi ngāwari (pēnei i te tīhi kōtihi), kahitete me te iokete māori (kore huka). |
Tangohia ngā tātā me ngā ‘mea pakaua’ i ngā kai pēnei i ngā hiriwapīti, pūha, bok choy hoki. |
Hoatu he kai iti maramara nei e māmā ai te tiki atu mā te pēpi – ngā huarākau me ngā huawhenua (pēnei i te panana tāngoungou, ngā paukena tino maoa), he maramara tōhi me ngā motumotu tīhi. |
