Feeding Baby Dhiren

Since Baby Dhiren had his first taste of semi-solid, we have been steadily increasing his cereal to a bigger portion and twice daily. We had a hard time initially, he prefers taking milk. But after much frustration and forcing (don't do this, doesn't work) later, he has grown to a daily routine of 2 cereal meals and around 7 meals of bottlefeeding.

My Baby is such a fussy eater, he will only eat his cereal hot and will not tolerate even if it's slightly cold, so i have to keep it warm with a bowl of hot water and have to change the water at least twice during feeding. Mummy spoilt you!


For his lunch at around 1pm, Baby Dhiren will have his Nestle cereal that is baby rice, apple & cranberry with either diluted pear juice or diluted apple juice. I mix the baby cereal with warm water till it become a smooth paste and and always served it together with a small cap of water to help him to swallow easier.

Since Baby still can't sit on his own, so we put him in his 'spider chair'.
For his 5.30pm feed, Baby will have his Why Not organic fruits cereal that is baby rice, quinoa, banana, orange and pear. It is nutritional and less sweet as compare to Nestle cereal, but the texture is not as smooth, so baby take time to get use to this. I have been adding a bit of homemade puree into the cereal as well. I have tried carrot, sweet potatoes and pumpkin puree.


From Breastfeeding to Formula Milk feeding to his first semi-solid to cereal. Baby Dhiren had came along way. Next, will start Baby Dhiren on homemade porridge. .....
