How to make your baby gain weight/ how to make tom brown baby food

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to my channel. My name is Mary Jane and today I'll be showing you guys how to make your baby add weight in just a space of two weeks Yes, the babies in the thumbnail are my twin boys when they were about eight months So this isn't just like a normal recipe. This is more like a tested and trusted baby food recipe so guys just stay with me while I show you how I Prepare this So to make this we'll be needing 1 cup of groundnuts 1 cup of guinea corn 1 cup of tiger nuts. Tiger nuts is so so rich in magnesium and it aids digestion in babies It's very important So here's our soybean 1 cup of soybean which is also rich in fiber We also have our millet. This is 1 cup of millet And there goes our dates There's about 20 pieces of dates say about half cup. Dates is a natural sweetener It aids bowel movements in babies. It's super important. It also prevents constipation in babies So instead of using sugar you use dates. It's more more nutritious So here's 2 cups of yellow corn. I'm using 2 cups because it's more starchy than the rest of them The rest of the grains So we'll just get right into it First step in making any baby food is to make sure everything you're using is totally clean the ingredients the utensils everything should be clean because you don't want a situation where you're trying to Fatten your child and your baby ends up being sick because of the dirty Way of preparation. So make sure everything is clean. That is very important So I'm just washing my corn. I washed it for about four times Removed the chaffs on it until the water was completely clean Next thing I'm using a kitchen towel to drain out the liquid from the corn before drying it out in the Sun You don't have to do this method, but I'm just doing it because I wanted the corn to dry up faster but you can always transfer it directly to the tray and Sun dry it. This process is not that important So I'm just going to spread it out in a neat tray and then I'll take it out in the Sun to dry So the next step is I'm going to add some washed Soybean into a pot of boiling water. This is going to help me get off the skin of the soybean easily So I'm gonna head to add my already washed guinea corn to a sieve I'm just going to be spinning it in a bowl of water like this This is going to help me get some of those tiny little sand that you wouldn't see if you wash it with just your hands you can see the Tiny grains of sand that I found. I always like to do this step because of course, like I said be extra neat So this is about 12 minutes later my soybean is already Boiling and the skin is coming off easily. That's how you know, it's ready to be washed so this step I'm just Washing off the skin Trying to get it off completely with my palm so after rubbing it against my palm, I'm just going to Pour out the skin in the sieve This is just the same process as washing your beans to make Moi Moi or Akara So after washing the same thing, I'm taking this out in the sun to dry So next is my groundnuts. You don't need so much groundnuts when making this because you don't want your tombron to be too oily I'm using half cup of groundnuts. The purple is a half cup measurement while the green is for one cup Next is our dates Sometimes the dates might be too tough So you just want to soak it in water for maybe three minutes or two minutes To get it a little soft because cracking out the seed might be Too much of a job sometimes So this also goes out in the sun as well so once my Corn is dry. The next thing is to start Toasting it in the frying pan I'm just going to be You know turning it this way stirring it this way If you leave it on heat It's going to pop It's going to start popping like popcorn So you want to be close to be stirring it this way Until you get this golden brown color until it looks like it's a little roasted but not burnt I'm going to do this for all of my ingredients with the exception of the tiger nuts and the dates This part of making this recipe is a little bit tiring to be honest, but you know good things don't come easy To get maximum results. You need to invest maximum energy so This is not a recipe you want to be making every single day So my advice is just make it in large quantity and store it it can last up to six months without going bad So once I'm done, I'm just going to mix it properly in the bowl and then I'll go ahead to blend it Once I'm done blending the next part because I'm using a blender and I really want to get a very smooth texture. I'm going to go ahead to sieve it I'm only doing this because I want to get a smoother Texture a finer texture, but if you are using a commercial grinding machine You really you can't skip this part because those big machines Always grind it to a very very fine texture. I Usually use those machines whenever I'm making it because I always make mine in large quantity So the best way is to store it in an airtight container and make sure it's tight Like I said, it can last up to six months so to make this tombrown you I'm using just one glass of water for five tablespoons of tombrown mix So when you're mixing this you need to be adding water Little by little don't pour all the water once so you don't have a watery mix at the end of the day Add the water gradually So this is the consistency you should be going for So my water is boiling now. I'm going to be stirring and pouring in the mix Simultaneously because I don't want it to have any lumps If you just pour it in like that and start stirring later, you might just end up having some Little little lumps and that's not what I want Now it's looking watery. It gets thicker as you cook Get thicker as you cook. You can tell it's ready from the color from the time you've spent from the taste. I Usually do mine for about 15 minutes just to get it more You know properly cooked So this is it Tombrown is ready to be served So you can serve this to babies of six months and above You can use I'm using formula, but you can use breast milk. You don't need to add sugar. You don't need to add sugar at all this is Perfect the way it is You probably don't even need to add milk because the dates is going to make it very very sweet for the baby Please if you've not subscribed to my channel yet, this is the perfect time to do so Trust me.
