<font color="ff6000">DG</font>, no I haven't started becos I'm only going to start introducing rice cereal to Arianne like, tomorrow? Cos my PD strongly recommended us to start semi-solids after 6 months so I'm just heeding his advice. I guess for the first one month or so, Arianne's menu will be pretty straightforward - ONE SINGLE ingredient (translates to boring.. hee). Until I've ruled out all the allergies then I'll start to play with what's available!
<font color="ff6000">Smiley</font>, some of the signs she's showing lately:
- seems interested in what I've on MY plate.
- everytime at the END of her per FM feed, which is 180ml, total is 720ml per 24 hours (according to my PD is on the high side for her stomach to stomach at one go) and she's still showing hunger signs. Like still continue to suckle when it's empty and fusses when we try pulling the teat out of her mouth.
These are the 'OFFICIAL' signs I know from PDs and from reading up:
Well if your bb has no signs of wanting to be weaned, better let nature takes it course.. Signs are like:
- can hold head up on his own
- can sit upright (important, so that when eating solid won't get choked)
- interested in adult's food
- still hungry after the usual feeds
So I guess I'll start her on solids as soon as I get all my kitchen equipment ready! Things I'd like to buy:
- Freezer trays with lids
- Freezer bags (don know if ziplog can or not..)
- a BLENDER! (still want the BEABA BABYCOOK badly actually.) Anyone has any GOOD brands/model to recomment?
- a Sieve
Then I'll go to the supermarket (I think Mediya!! I love the Jappy's stuff there..) to buy these:
- Papaya
- Apple
- Broccoli
- Sweet Potato
I've already got:
- Weaning spoon
- Bowl with handle
- Bib (I made myself.. just use those NTUC plastic bags, cut 3 holes, 1 on top for her head to go through, then the other 2 holes for her arms.. cheap and good, use and dispose!)
Mummies, did I miss out anything or I'm all ready ready? ooh, ANYONE FREE TO GO SHOPPING AT MEDIYA WITH ME??
