Hi All,

Thought that i should write about some changes i've made in Kichu's diet, considerign that he's totally off Lactogen and that he hates Cerelac plain ones more than once a day.

He shares Idli, Upma, Dosa or Idiappam (One mallu steamed rice flour thingy) with Sugar. can eat upto 3/4th of an idly if he's in the mood.

Rice - mashed with a spoon of curd, 1/2 spoon butter, some milk and carrots - almost 150ml.

One banana (again the Mallu variety) -steamed and mashed.

Juice - Mosambi. 2-3oz. (restarted after a gap of 2 months).

he luuuves bread but i'm scaerd 'coz it is maida and he luuuves maaza (mango drink) too. He's on BM anyways. I've discovered that his tummy's sensitive to apples so that knocked off one choice i had.

Occassionally, if i feel like, i give him some papaya too.

love to all kutties...
paddoo


Archana replied. Hi,
Radha will be 10 months tomorrow. Since last month she has started hating the mix veg soup (thick one) that we used to give her.
But she loves chapati or parathas. So what we do is cook all the veggies (carrots, tomatoes, dudhee, red pumpkin, beet-root and moong daal) with little garlic, hing etc. Mash them and add wheat flour to it to make dough. Then make paratha of this dough. This has become very handy when we go out because I can carry it with me and it does not create mess while feeding her.
SHe also like aloo paratha.

Apart from that the old good wheat+Raagi satva porridge is continued. She eats whatever we eat (even spicy things) ofcourse very little. Hates banana nowdays, maybe she had too much of it :-)

I have got 2 flavors of cerelac, actually mixed fruit cerelac and mixed veg Farex... she does not prefer either of it but I feed her these sometimes just for variety.

I tried giving her egg yolk also but she did not like it. Will try again, maybe I will add some chilli powder and other spices to it and prepare paratha!!

I gave her Dosa once and she liked it. Will try to give Idli this weekend, I hope she likes it because she does not like rice in any form at all, so the kiddy meal of daal-chawal or khichadi is not an option for us.

Radha has become a grown person now and can let us know what she is feeling by shouting, crying etc etc. Learned many new things, which I will write in separate message soon.

Long message again na?
What to do, once I start I cannot control myself :-)

Chalo, hi to everyone and love to all the bacchus,
Archana.
