Solid Food

Ever since Alyssa was 5 and a half month old, we let her try different solid food infrequently and mostly on the weekends when we have more time. Before this week, she ate very little each time, maybe just 2-3 table spoon per time.

Alyssa had tried uptil now the following food :-
1. Carrot
2. Zucchini
3. Potato
4. Peach
5. Apple
6. Pear
7. Chicken Puree
8. Pumpkin
9. Rice
10. Oat
11. Baby biscuit
12. Baby rice biscuit

Mami wondered why whenever she fed Alyssa rice cereal, it turned very watery in the middle of the feed. And after so many time that it turned watery, finally she (or Papi told her... ) realized that the rice cereal should be prepared with 50 degree c water instead of luke warm water or milk at about 30 degree c.

Since both Papi and Mami are working, they never prepared food from scratch for Alyssa. The above mentioned food were all those ready made food from shops.

This week, Papi made some congee to Alyssa and she could eat quite well suddenly as the texture seems just right for her (if it is too watery, it is very difficult to feed her and it is all over outside her mouth). She could now take 5-7 table spoons solid food. Well done baby and Papi, keep it up.
