Her first foods.
1st Day-2tbs of Brown Rice Cereal
She gave me a funny face when she first tasted, but thereafter continued opening her mouth for it. She even grabbed my spoon to put into her mouth!It was a messy business, cereal all over her mouth, questionable expressionon her face, laughter from me. Even my maid was looking on and chuckling.Fun! She finished all.
I like her with this funny expression. :P
Day 2 - 3tbs of Brown Rice Cereal
Same as the day before, finished it all!
Day 3 - 4tbs of Brown Rice CerealFinished it all!
Day 4 - After 3 consecutive days of cereal. Time for something else! 4tbs of Brown Rice Cereal + pureed pumpkin.
Oooh...what a face she made. hehee. She was taken aback at the sweet strong taste of pumpkin I think.
Now, 23 days after she started weaning, with a 3 day break in between when she wasn't feeling well (more of that later), she has tried and given verdict for the following foods. In order of sequence of introduction.
Those she likes and can finish easily :
*Avocado
*Banana
*Papaya
*Broccoli (but this one depends on mood)
Those she DON't like (made a face, turned away, pushed away spoon, refusal to open mouth, gagged almost every spoon) :
organic pumpkin
fresh organic scrapped apple
steamed organic pureed apple

butternut squash
Tried Butternut squash, same family as pumpkin but I am banking on the more buttery texture (which I gather she likes from her preference for avocadoes and bananas) to score a point. But, dun seem enthusiastic leh.
I have also changed to Healthy Times Oatmeal Cereal and Billamy's Baby Rice instead of the HT Brown Rice, in case that's whats causing her hard stools which started on 3rd day of weaning. Also feeding her more water now.
No more nice smelling TBF "tao suan" stools. :( Although her TBF stools, unlike her brother's back then, is more smooth in consistency and bright yellow in colour, with a distinct tangy aroma. Hahahahaha pardon for sounding like a lousy food connoiseur, but I have a certain parental interest in how my kids TBF stools are like. :P

Sigh...somehow after the recent fever episode, she seemed more fussy about food. She used to open her mouth willingly for nice cereal, but now she will only open her mouth to things she really likes.Avocadoes so far are a fail safe. Even papayas also dun score a point every time. Tomorrow will be trying bananas again, as its the first fruit she tried and finished completely during 1st weaning. Hope it dun disappoint.
Not sure if its the antibtiotics that made her lose appetite. I really hope its not. I already feel heartpained as it is.
She's unlike her brother in that if she really don't wanna eat, she really will stubbornly keep her mouth close. Even if you make her smile, she's cautious. Even when she's protesting and "crying", she can cry with her mouth clamped tight shut, with the upper lip even slightly curled down over the bottom lip. Her brother at her age, despite now being quite a fussy eater, was easy to coax to open his mouth by making him laugh or when he's crying hehee.
Sigh...to think that I was even gleefully anticipating that she's much easier to feed considering her interest in our food at a young age, and considering her enthusiasm at the start. :(
