Introducing Solid

Yum yum time !!!

Introducing new foods is a time of exciting anticipation for mummy and baby Zoey as it is a leaping toward new milestones of development. Mummy started introducing solid to Zoey at the age of 6 months as mummy noticed she have the chewing motion, growing appetite and able to keep her head in a steady, upright position. She seems to get hungry after every 2 hours of formula feedings

A good rule of thumb is to start with rice cereal, first mummy gave her one or two teaspoons of dry cereal mixed with enough formula milk to make a semi-liquid. Then mummy use a rubber-tipped spoon to feed Zoey, this is to avoid injuring her gums. Started with just a small amount on the tip of the spoon. Begin with a once-a-day feeding.

Mummy noticed baby Zoey do not eat much at all in the beginning, she keep on splitting out the cereal but mummy gave her time to get used to the experience and mummy keep on tablespoons her few times. At the 5th feeding, she gets used to her new diet, now she is ready for a few tablespoons of cereal a day. As the amount she eats increases, gradually mummy add another feeding in the evening.

By the age of 7 months, Zoey have tried few different type of fruits and vege.
