Strawberries is one of the fruits that Baby C loves the most.  It must be the strong fragrance and the sweetness.  So I’ve now used strawberries as treats for her to eat with her daily antibiotics. 

I know strawberries should best be introduced to babies after 12 months to prevent allergies. What I did was first I let Baby C lick and suck on the strawberry. After the first day and seeing that there were no allergies like swelling of the tongue, lips, and face; skin rash; wheezing; abdominal cramping; vomiting; or diarrhea, the second day, I cut 1/4 of a medium size strawberry into small pieces and fed them to her. The following day, I gave her 1/2 a strawberry. She just loves the strawberries to bits. Apart from strawberries, Baby C’s also eating red dragon fruits, apples, grapes, papaya and orange juice.

Alycia snapped this pic of me feeding Baby C her meds with a syringe and holding on to the strawberry as ‘bait’. My maid was carrying baby.
