First Taste at Cereal

Ray is about 5 month 2 weeks and we decided its time for him to start weaning. I have read different school of thoughts like exclusively breastfeeding till 6 months then wean the baby off or start weaning at 4 month. Arrrggghh.....so we meet half way ie 5 month 2 week, well almost there lah hor. And besides, i am having a hard time keeping up with Ray's demand, i mean rather than to let him go hungry, i might as well introduce a meal of solid food just to tide his growing spurts period through.


We have selected rice cereal for him, just plain w/o additional flavouring.


Ray is looking very anxious to try out what is in his bowl.


Although looking enthusiastic abt the new stuff, he was rather reluctant to sip it in. It will take a while before he can actually sip it in as he is using a different of muscle to do the sipping. And bsides, it will take at least 10 tries before Ray will take a liking to the cereal, that is accordingly to the books.


To prove that just how reluctant he is, he fell asleep half way through the feeding and we only managed 2 small mouthfuls. And he aint faking it!! Hahaha.
