Hi mummies...
Re. MIL
Sorry need an outlet to complain again...
Yesterday evening my boy doesn't really want to eat the porridge that she has made. So far she has made porridge 3 times and Isaac doesn't eat much all 3 times. She uses the double-boil method and add either potato soup stock, ikan bilis soup stock or just cook with chicken & fish meat. I tasted the porridge, quite all right, bland but still have some taste. Anyway, so yesterday evening she complain that ISaac does not want to eat. So my HB told her that the day before when I made porridge, Isaac finished most of it, though the first time I made porridge, he didn't seem to like it too. My MIl also commented that she giave him one of the butternut squash puree that I have made and he loves it cos it's sweet. Dunno my MIL cannot take it that Isaac doesn't want to eat her porridge or what, this morning when we brought Isaac over to her place, first thing she ask me what I put inside my porridge. I said some carrots, powdered silverfish and dried scallops. Then immediately say I shouldn't put dried scallops cos it's saltish and shouldn't make the porridge too tasty for baby. I said, I just put a bit to give the porridge a bit a taste cos did not cook porridge with stock. The porridge is as bland as what she has made. She doesn't seem to believe me, and keep harping that now baby can only eat porridge cooked with chicken/fish and add chopped veges. And then she said the other day when she used ikan bilis stock to cook porridge, it's too tasty and Isaac doesn't like also. Win already loh, bland says he doesn't like. Tasty also say he doesn't like. Then how? Then she commented again that he likes all those sweet purees that i made, like sweet potato and apricot purees. I said he also likes tha potato & broccoli puree which is not sweet what. Then I told her my mum says that if cook porridge with fish, can mash up the fish and give some to Isaac, then she said cannot, too young to eat fish. My HB told her that doctor said can eat fish liao... then MIL claims that she tried to mash up some to give Issac (dunno true or not), but he can't seem to swallow. Say better to wait till he can walk then eat meat??? Pls lah, my mum says when me and my siblings were 5 months old, she already started cooking Ma You fish in porridge till very soft and gave it to us! Wah... I really cannot take it man! But I still didn't talk back but on the way to work just now, gave my HB an earful man!
Anyway, I feel that if did not cook porridge with stock and just cooked with chicken meat and fish and not feed the meat, how nutritious can the meal be right? Isn't it just mostly carbo from rice? I rather give more cereals.
