I tried mixing a bit of milk with the cereal today. Haha.. the spoonful with milk: half leaked out of the mouth; the spoonful without the milk: swallow everything. Then because I kept trying to give spoonfuls with milk, he will look at the spoon for a while before deciding to open his mouth. Like trying to decide if that spooful had milk in it. hahahahaha....

You can check if your baby is underweight on your own. Weigh your baby and measure his height and then tally it with the graphs in the health booklet. As long as his weight and height are more or less in the same percentile, it should be alright. My son is about 7kg and 65cm tall.

I started to wean my boy when he is 6 1/2 mnths and just started =) i bought this book written by Gina Ford on Weaning and is quite good. Give you a guideline how to wean your baby little by little.

So, I bought "Only Organic" (the brand name) baby rice and I tried, is quite bland - good for baby. Then I go by the 3 days rule where every 3 days you introduce new food to your baby. Just started baby rice, apple/ pear puree and sweet potato puree (all homemake puree) and my boy just loves sweet potato..hahah


Cheers

Hi,

My baby is 3 months currently. A lot of relatives told me I can introduced fortified cereal of my baby when she's 4 months old. I have a few questions.

1. Can i know if there are any signs that motivates you to feed cereal?
2. If my baby is unable to sit independently by herself, is it ok to still feed cereal?
3. Will the milk intake go down with the introduction of cereal since milk is still their main diet?

TIA
