About snacking..i quite strictly only let zoe take solids at meal times only and on the high chair only.. cos i don't want her to grow up with the habit of snacking, especially cos she is low birth weight, and babies with low birth weight tend to be obese, have high blood pressure and diabetes later in life.. so i really don't want her to be fat lor..
in my family, my parents were also v strict with me when i was small, no snacks at all and meals only at mealtimes, plus no snacks at home.. and i don't have a snacking habit and none of my familky members are overtly fat..
on the contrary, my hubby's family is the total opposite, also tend to have a more rounded physique, grew up allowed to eat any and everything, had hawker or fast food for lunch when he was in primary school although his mum does not work! the consequence is that both hubby and bro were fat kids, also hubby's mum has fatty liver.. all related to eating habits lor.. so i don't want the snacking and unhealthy food eating habit of my hubby's family to happen in mine..
zoe simply cannot afford it, she is already at risk of being fat and diabetes and high blood pressure all linked to obesity..so i'm gonna be v strict w her eating habits as well and might as well start young..
i feel like getting one also
