17 Jul 2011Our Verdicts: Natey Mommy 1 sip was all he took and out it came right after. The rest of the 120ml? As usual, Mommy had to play DBKL and finished it all. I wonder if it was a mistake to give Natey the Chocolate first. It’s like introducing a taste of heaven, then back to earth [...]

7 Jul 2011Our Verdicts: To date Natey already had 5 packs of this chocolatey Dutch Lady Kid. The most he could finish is half a box of the 125ml. Each time taking a small sip and a bite of bread puff. Whenever I introduce new food, the ingredient is a concern. The 2nd on this list is [...]
Two months after Natey started taking solids, I began “making” our own snacks. Toasted bread stripes is one of the top recommended choices. It is easy to make and definitely a healthier alternative to over the counter snacks. I started with stripes but quickly improvised into bite size squares, which proved to be more of a [...]

31 May 2011Our Verdicts: We bought our 1st box of Toothie Pegs last Nov and only finished the last peg yesterday itself. That’s like an average of 2 pegs (RM2.60) a month *wah* Natey seldom snacks on rusk because he looses interest very fast and off it lands on the floor. He would gnaw on the peg [...]

20 May 2011We are finally at this stage of researching for the “right” formula milk. Although I am still breastfeeding 3-4x and expressing 1x a day, I know my supply is quickly depleting and I need to hurry up to introduce cow’s milk to Nate before he rejects the taste totally. The boy doesn’t like liquids other [...]

1 Apr 2011For the first 2 months of introducing new foods to Natey, he “enjoyed” everything at its purest (taste) in forms of purees. By 8mo it was time to add a little rice — we are Asians after all — and introduce meat to the menu. That’s how I started cooking porridge for him everyday. Meal [...]

28 Oct 2010It seems like only yesterday that Natey took his 1st feed as a newborn. Then came the 1st solid meal at 6 months. Now at 8 months, he is having 3 solid meals a day albeit only 1oz each. For the past 2 months, we’ve tried a handful of first foods: Avocado, Baby Cereal, Pumpkin, [...]
