Olivia's solid food trail
I feel like documenting down Olivia's solid food intake not for any other kind of purpose, but mainly as a memory record of how fussy she can get to. The problem is I still cannot decide where to jot it down hence tapping on this platform.
I officially started Olivia with her first solid on 2nd December 2015 with ready made commercial fruit purée - Heniz Organic Apple Sauce. Olivia rejected it with super tight pressed lip! I was kinda pressurized by the fellow may mummies as they are mainly using fresh purée so this is where I feel very guilty. I'm a SAHM yet I introduced her commercial purée! Hence on the same day, I went to buy fresh banana and purée it for her! Guess what she only took a tiny weeny bit and showed me her super tightly pressed lip again! The dad then made a cruel joke to Olivia, "how does it feel when you are being forced-fed?"
I don't know if I should cry or laugh.... but I was sure feeling very demoralized! But not enough to make me give up the whole idea of introducing solid food to her! I woke up in the night to pump so that I have breast milk for the next day intending to mix some rice cereals instead.
So here I go on the 3rd December 2014, I prepared some rice cereals mixed with breast milk, I feel happy even though she only gobbled down a few mouthful and started rejecting the rest with her tight pressed lip again. :/
On the 3rd day, 4th December which is today, I gave her the rice cereals again using 3 spoonful of cereals and she managed to finish it. Hopefully this is a positive sign and not just one off luck for me!
Looking forward to introducing more variety in time to come! I do feel guilty as I wasn't this excited back Olinda's time. Hmmmm bad mummy!
Happy story continues... 6:07 PM
