and so i started the little one on porridge since last saturday.
its been alot of hard work and effort, especially for me who cant cook for nuts.
trying my best to trial and error to get a reasonable meal out for him.
and also to ensure my mum will do the same for the other 2 nights he's over at her place.
AND, to get my MIL to help me prepare when im away at work during weekdays.
not easy, i tell u.
just to share what i did.
1), i made yummy vegetable stock! so i just dumped carrot, onions, celery, corn into a big pot of boiling water and let it cook for a good 2 1/2 hrs! then i took away the vegs leaving behind sweet stock meant for the porridge. :)
2), i put just a tiny handful of rice and stock from above and put in a slow cooker for a good 2+hours.. adding in fresh brocolli ard 45mins before dinner time.
3), yummy mushy porridge ready for baby YZ!
so far he seems to like it and can finish 1 small bowl (equivalent to his rice cereal amt). BUT, he has been waking up twice for the past few days at 4+am, crying! :(
not sure if its due to hunger or pain from his lips.
he is suffering from some infection on the lips. according to doc, it seems to come from too much moisture when he sucks his pacifier. sigh. after applying the oral medicine, his lips now is very red and looks painful.
still need to monitor cos i dun want to anyhow increase his milk/solids intake.
