I dont hold any brief for this company but I surely believe they offer good services to parents.As a Father I have found KIRINYAGA Millers located near globe cinema roundabout very resourceful.

They offer nutritional classes ,in conjunction with KNH, to Mothers [although I dont know if they still offer them].I took my wife there once and she was really transformed.

They also offer different type of flour...you just need to indicate the age of your Kid and they will mix it for you according to your kids needs.

@memmy,

I have a niece that age and the following is what we give her as a variety and a break from malenges n bananas
-nduma+potatoes...mash and add milk.
-potatoes+spinach+butternut
-ugali mashed in milk
-sweet potatoes+potatoes+spinach
-blend different fruits as well to break the monotony.

I hope this helps.

Visit www.babyzone or www.babycentre for ideas.

But by nine months the child should be having family diet. Whatever you eat baby eats,(Indian babies eat curry) avoid too much salt in your food. Make it wholesome as possible and avoid processed stuff if possible. Soemthing like 1/4 brown chapo cut up in tiny pieces and mixed with ndengu stew and lots of soup... The idea of making special baby food is no longer encouraged. The only time you can 'tesa' your child with malenge stuff is when weaning at 6 months after that you start family diet mashing with a fork. I pray you are no longer using a blender. Mash with a fork to encourage chewing (even without teeth babies can use their gums). It will aid digestion as it starts in the mouth with the enzymes in saliva.

All the best.

Beans / cow peas (minji)boiled + potatoes + greens (You can buy Thabai- Stinging Nettle.).Add white onion,tomato(peel the outer cover) grate a carrot and some salad oil.Boil and mash together.
Also you can add chicken liver.But remember to go easy on proteins if the kid is allergic.

interesting stuff

@ Peppy,if the kid eats the food ya watu wakubwa,what about the spices? i think this is why most people prefer to make a different meal for the baby.
