That was Baby C’s dinner 2 nights ago – 1/3 of a fish and organic brown rice + organic banana porridge + 1 teaspoon of Isomil formula. Whilst she liked the fish, Baby C didn’t quite like the cereal. I guess that’s because she’s having a slight runny nose, slight cough and some phelgm. Poor baby, everyone in the family took turns to have the cold and she wasn’t spared too. I guess the cereal must have irritated her throat coz she kept coughing when I fed her the cereal.
So last night, I ditched the cereal. I gave her some winter melon + pork ribs + barley soup with some mashed up fish and voila, she loved the soup… and the fish too but too bad, she can’t even finish the fish (1/3 again). Her appetite is really small and she still likes breast milk best. Oh well, it may be a blessing in disguise as breast milk has all the nutrients and is still the best whilst processed baby food may cause her allergies. Will try cooking some rice porridge with fish / chicken /pork / veggie for her soon.
what’s the pink colour stuff on the spoon? baby C can eat fish already? no need to wait till she’s one? anyway..glad that she likes it and also the soup. she’s still a baby so i guess her tummy is not big enough to store 1/3 of the fish…hahahaha
Barb…. the pink stuff is actually part of the spoon. It’s a special spoon that can change color. The pink color will turn white when the food/water is hot.
And it’s my paed’s advise to feed her with soup and fish to give her some protein to jack up her weight.
well, as long she still take in milk, she should be fine.
Maybe her poor appetite are due to her cold.
If you are really worried about her weight loss, you could start her on Pediasure?
Phaik Ling… I did buy her a can of Pediasure but when I read the instruction, it says only for 1 yo and above! So the can of Pediasure is now lying inside the cabinet. I can feed her with it in 4 months’ time.
