Dovey,
yes, give same food for 3 days, then intro new food on the 4th day.. this is mostly to check for any allergic reactions.
jamie,
olive oil was applied sparingly on the hair, not everyday though... for my elder son, we used to apply organic olive oil when he was 1 year old and did see some results. As for Marilyn, most likely, we will have to apply soon as she has very little hair, and if not she was wearing dress or in pink outfits, pple will mistake her for a boy...LOL!!
SOlids intro,
Jamie, don't be disheartened.. it was 2nd and 3rd try for us before she likes potato puree and carrot puree... As for brocoli puree, she instantly accepts on the 1st try. U wanna try and catch a good timing when she's more receptive and in cheery mood to intro the food again... don't worry, it is a matter of time before she is ready for new food. JIA YOU!!
When Marilyn didn't accept and take the potato puree for the 1st time, I literally ate the puree in front of her...hahahaa... and make lots of "YUMMY yum yum" sound, and enjoying the food. She saw and giggled.
The 2nd time, when I tried giving her potato puree again, she took a few spoonful, this time it is an improvement, but she stopped after the 5th spoonful.. I didn't force-feed her and just laugh it off, infront of her. And she also giggled 2gether with me..
And on the 3rd day, she was taking the whole bowl of potato puree...hehheheee...so far, i tried intro a new food in the morning only. The afternoon meal is the rice cereal.
