How are you all? I was off from work yesterday and so its been a long weekend. I was surprised to see just a very few messages in the board.
Think all moms are busy.

Our update: We have shifted to a flat near office so that I can come home during lunch to see my sweety and feed him. The house and the locality are beautiful... bit expensive, but worth it. Rishi too seems to love the place since it is big and bright compared to our old house.

Yesterday morning amma slipped from the cot and fell down. She had a bad neck and nack ache. She is a little better now. I had taken leave to take care of Rishi.

Rishi is making a big fuss to eat. He hardly eats one tbsp of cerelac or Ragi and then starts pushing the spoon, hitting me, crying. How do I handle this? Even if he is very hungry, he eats only one spoon. And this will not be sufficient for him and he will cry in the next half an hour!!

Do u all give any fruits to your kids? My mom says we can boil an apple, mash it and give it. Is it ok? Yet to see a doc here and take him. Will do it this saturday.

Take care all of you and kisses to the angels.

Take care and keep writing.

Love,
Vani
Kyathi replied. Hi Vani,

How are you doing? And howz Rishi? How is your work going on?

And about feeding, I think its better to start with vegs first, if not they may not like them after you give them fruits. Over here I mean in US the Drs recommand to start vegs first before giving them fruits. Orange vegs first then greens then fruits.

You can give Rishi sweet potato. I am giving my baby sweet potato from last 2 days and he seems to like it, I am mixing it with rice cereal or oatmeal cereal. I am preparing it at home. So maybe you can also give him sweet potato mixed with cerelac.

After that you can give carrots, peas, beans and then comes the fruits. You can give him apple as your mom says. You can even give him banana. Give only one new fod every 3-5 days to check for any allergies. After he tries alla fruits and vegs you can then mix and match.

Here's my plan fir feeding my baby.
- First I gave him rice cereal for one week.
- Then gave him oatmeal for another week.
- Started giving him sweetpotato prepared at home mixed with any of the above cereals.
- after that will give him barley cereal.
- After that planning to give him squash, carrots, peas, and beans, trying every new food for 3-4 days.
- Then comes fruits like banana, apples, pears and peaches.

And for feeding him since he is not having solids properly, you can streach your legs and make him lay on your thighs with his face towards your head and slowly feed him with a spoon or with clean hands. try this it may work and let me know if it worked.

Hope so I helped you regarding your problem.

Lots of hugs and kisses to Rishi. Takecare. Bye.
Love,
Kyathi.
