Dear Kyna,
You’re always curious about everything, especially food. Your eyes will sparkle if you see the grown ups munching on all kind of stuffs. And you’d drool. And I pity you. And we have to hide those glorious foods from you.
So,, I took a decision. I let you taste a food 3 weeks before you turned 6 months.
At first, I let you lick fruits we eat. Mango, banana, apple and pear.
One day, your grandpa was eating a banana. You looked at him as if you really envy him. So I took a small cut, mashed it, and mixed it with my breast milk.
And I fed you.
You loved it 🙂 Eversince that day, you enjoyed all sorts of mashed fruits – banana, mango, dragonfruit.. You hated mashed papaya and apple seemed to be too sour for you.
When you officially turned 6 months, I started mixing various fruits for you.
One of the foods you really liked is the mixture of avocado and baby orange.
That’s you sitting with a bowl of mashed fruits 🙂 Cute!
It went well, so I started to introduce you to rice and broccoli. Not long after that, you had a constipation. You can’t push it out and I’m pretty sure it hurts like hell. We took you to pediatrician and apparently your intestines can’t take rice yet. We were told to wait until you turn 8 months.
It’s okay. You love fruits anyway 🙂 and it gives you a healthy digestive system!
That’s you eating with dad – two of mommy’s precious belongings 🙂
I hope you like eating as much as I do hahah.. I’ll cook you all sort of stuffs and I’ll take you to fancy restaurants when you get bigger! Mommy can’t wait! I hope you maintain steady healthy weight gain after swapping to solids.. Talk to you later, my sweet little bug!
Love,
Mommy
