Piggy the MummyPig: May 2008

Pier seems to get hungry very fast. He was demanding 4-5Oz of milk every two hours for the past few days. That was very tiring for daddycow & mummypig to keep feeding him non-stop. So, we decided to move on to solid.

I went to shopping for his first rice cereal last night. Oh wow! so many choices on the rack. Then I remember bout Jason's blog on the "sweet" Nestle infant cereal. With that information, I read up the nutrition information one by one from the rack. Nestle mostly comes with "with added milk". At the end, I picked up Heinz Baby 1st Rice Cereal and pay at the check out.

The recommendation was, starting with one TEASPOON of solid on the first day. one teaspoon of rice cereal mixed with breast milk until it is very diluted (for the first two days). and then.. I approached the hungry baby with this semi-solid food. At first, he pushed out the food, then, he realized that it was something nice.... and.... he tried to licked back those remaining food around his mouth! @_@!?! so, I gave him another small amount of food. He loves it! He keep asking for more, and start fussing when I feed him a bit slower. He can't control his tongue movement well, so, his rice cereal was everywhere on his bibs... This was a good start. Hooray! My baby is slowly on to solid food!
