Didi starts his cereal

Didi tasted his first rice cereal

Didi has been drooling quite a bit recently; follow by his first tooth (lower central incisor) and second incisor. He has since shown great interest in our food. Just yesterday, he snaps his jiejie’s bread when his jiejie is happily eating her whole meal peanut butter as breakfast and she was stunned by her brother’s action.

Didi not only snap the bread from his jiejie, he even put it directly to his mouth.. we were so amused by his action .. Super hungry haaa..

So, mum and I thought, ok la... maybe it’s time we introduce him the rice cereal, which we home-made ourselves. We bought the organic brown rice, wash it, dry it up under hot sun, and grind it to power form. Then mum also bough “Shi Sen” washes, dry, grind into power form too. Shi Sen is to open up baby’s appetite. We did the same for Missy last time.

Yesterday, mum use one spoon of the rice cereal, add in my breastmilk and boil it. Let cool, then let didi try, we feel the grinding not so perfect as still can see small particles (not that smooth), but didi slowly slowly swallow... And eat it all up (even though only one spoon of cereal)




Wow, not bad for his first time, he even make noise after I move the bowl away, as if he wants more.. So we give him some plain water, which is his second time tasting water, cos he is on total breast milk since birth. The first time I gave him plain water was just to let him try the different taste of drink besides milk.

So, we shall let him try the rice cereal from now on, with just a spoonful in amount.

Cute cute boy.. Jiejie is so curious with us feeding him the rice cereal, she keeps saying didi no teeth cannot eat. But I reminded her, didi already has one tooth 
