Jeun Yip and Gavin completed their 4 months so time to introduce them to baby rice cereal and get them to practice coordinating having food in the mouth and swallowing
Here I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for this rice cereal that aunty Cecilia mentioned.
Hey!! Why don’t I practice the Gong Xi Fa Cai greeting whilst waiting?
I think my fingers taste better than what they are going to give me
Ok, let’s go for the first spoonful
Hmm, I remember Wei Jun told me the first taste is yucky, but I am not sure what to make of it.
Wait lah! I am still thinking about it.
It is standard practice to push it out, so here goes.
Oops, I forgot that they will scoop it back in.
Sigh!! Guess I have to swallow it after all
Hey!! Watch that spoon eh, I do not want that stuff in my eyes ok?
I will be a good boy and finish it Aunty Cecilia
Yea!! That was the last spoonful and I actually like the stuff. It is Gavin’s turn next he he he!!!
Gavin's turn
My friends Wei Jun and Jeun Yip have told me all about eating baby rice and I am looking forward to it. Every time that I see mummy and daddy eating I want to join them but they said no, so all I can do is watch and drool and smack my lips.
The first spoonful
Actually, I like it but must push it out so I do not spoil Aunty Cecilia’s theory
There you are, they will scoop it back like my friends said.
Yes!! I love this stuff.
Come on, give me some more
Is that all? I want some more please. Aunty Cecilia said wait a few more days before she will add more so I have to drink my milk as I am still hungry.
Update on Wei Jun’s weaning progress.
It is about one month since Wei Jun started eating baby rice. He is now taking 4 teaspoons each day
Now is the time to introduce vegetables, albeit in powder form.
Replace one teaspoon of the plain rice powder with one teaspoon of rice and vegetables. I believe in introducing food slowly to make sure that the baby’s digestive system can take it. If he is ok with it then I will give half plain rice and half rice with vegetables. By then the baby will have completed six months when it is time to start on home cooked porridge.
