taro,
my infant care centre feeds cereal at 6 month and porridge at 8 month. There is a cook there, supposedly everyday diff dish to mix with the porridge at 8 month.. for me, i started lele on cereal at 5th month, so i ask the teachers to feed her cereal there too.. basically we let the teachers know if we want the cereal to be fed thru bottle or spoon. i told them by spoon lo, cos i want lele to get used to eating from spoon...
they will also record down how much milk and cereal she takes, and what time.. but dunno how zhun la, cos last week, lele coughing, she rejects her puree at home leh.. but at the centre, the teachers recorded everyday that she finished her 2 tablespoons of cereal...
