Baby Steps for Baby Asyraaf to Eat Baby Rice :-)

After trying in vain for a few months to get asyraaf to eat rice/porridge...he finally took this in: nestle rice and chicken. Tastes and smells good too... I tasted it before giving it to him. For some it is quite a delayed progress but for me, I can now heave a sigh of relieve.

All this while, if any rice/ porridge is given to him, he would shove it out of his mouth as soon as he feels the rice texture. Now it is better. And he eats a lot of it too... about 2-3 bowls per meal. Any meals that he had before this is usually his biscuits/rusks. Never rice. And now if we give him rice during meals when we all sit together, he eats them, no more shoving it out of his mouth. It is funny seeing a 11 month year old boy with 8 teeth not knowing how to munch ...:-)...We did sit nearby families that has babies about asyraaf's age or younger( toothless), eating away on rice like nobody's business... And being a parent, of course I wonder about my own child's nonexistent eating habits...but as usual, at his own pace... he now knows how to eat something else for his diet besides rusks and milk. Finally...hehe...

Maybe we can start on other diets as well after this. He still takes his milk as usual. But at least now he diet is consisted with iron, which is essential for his growth. Any other suggestions mommies out there... share it here yeah... I might learn things that I've never come across before... ;-)
