first solids
ashley had her first solids yesterday! in fact, this is the first time (well, almost) she tasted anything other than MILK - she doesn't take water very well, and rejects it most of the time. anyway, if you read the previous post, you'll know that healthy times brown rice cereal is sold out everywhere currently - this box was actually given a colleague by of mine recently - thanks YP! :-) and ashley likes it! at least she opened her mouth when she saw the spoon coming.
following the instructions, i mixed two tablespoons of the cereals (by the way, don't do this under the fan as it's really light and flaky) with about 20ml of breastmilk, and tadah - ashley's brunch is ready! it's too simple to prepare - now i know why most mums these days don't make their own rice cereals. i didn't taste it but it did smell pretty fragrant (somewhat like horlicks). also, it was not as messy as i had expected it to be, merely dirtied a bib and washcloth, and i didn't even have to clean the floor/furniture, or put her through another bath.
anyway, my traditional mum still prefers to feed her grandchild with homemade porridge, not these instant 'ang moh' kind of food. she claims that both my brother and i were fed porridge before 6 months and both love it... so uh huh, can't argue with the main caregiver. ashley will be starting on porridge VERY SOON, stay tuned!
