Emme's Development Milestone | Starting to take solid

When Emme hits 6 months (she is 6.5+ months now, FYI), I was soooo excited that she will be able to take solid food. Least that I can expect is the starting process was soooo tedious and sooo demoralising!

Weeks before her actual 6 months, I bought baby biscuits, rice cereal, studied the feeding schedule of alternating milk and solids and etc... Oh, even baby bowl and plates!

So let's talk about the day when I decided to let her taste her FIRST rice cereal using a baby spoon!

I carefully mixed the rice cereal with milk, so that it is not tooo thick or running. Digressed abit, the rice cereal was provided by Emme's pediatric during her 6th month assessment. She turned cranky the moment she entered the room and cried all the way. Since the doctor could not assess her, all he did was asked me questions. After i said that Emme doesn't sleep on her tummy and flip and taking her weight into consideration, he jitao indirectly told me that Emme was obese, and her psycho motor skills were affected. And he questioned about Emme's feeds, he was traumatised about the amount of liquid milk Emme took and the frequency. Then asked me to cut the milk and "force" her to take solid food. Come on lo, its not me that I don't want to feed her, I'm more excited to feed her solid la. BUT EMME CANT ACCEPT THE SOLID YET! What can I do? So I emo and lun until we board the bus before I cry. HAHA, I think I'm very sensitive when comes to Emme's weight and overall health being. 

Back to the rice cereal, I placed Emme in her bumbo chair and fed her. SHE REJECTED! Super sad! The cereal flowed out of her mouth like glue.

I'm not that easily defeated hor! After getting some enlightenment from my colleague that she might like sweet food, I got sweet Banana Custard (Heinz) and fed her. BIG FAT SUCCESS! Why didn't I thought of this! She ordered alot of sweet food via womb service when she was in my belly!


Did I miss out saying that Emme love sweet stuffs, like the daddy? We let her taste ice cream, and she LOVED it and kept asking for more! *HAPPY*

Two days ago, Emme finished a small bottle of baby food - PRUNE! Despite the extreme mess during feed, it effectively relieved her from her constipation problem! *Double HAPPINESS*

Mess on her face and top while having Prune baby food!
