Our little boy had his first solid meal >> rice cereal at exactly 6 months (30 June 2012).
I was so looking forward to start Keaen on solid and to my dismay, it turned out to be a nightmare for an entire month. After 2 to 3 spoonful of feeding, Keaen would always refuse to open his mouth for more. PoPo and I had to try all sorts of ways to distract and feed him. It was PaINFUL!!! Feeding him was a great struggle every single meal. I was truly stressed and paranoid about this as I have seen friends' children who dislike food and battle during every meal. I would call home almost every afternoon to check with PoPo how's the feeding for the day, and she would update me: took 2 hours, 1.5 hours, tried all sorts of ways, etc..... It kind of spoil my day after every call.....
And then, guess what! My little boy started to be like his dear jie jie once he turned 7 months. WHEW!!! He shows great enthusiasm in every meal, and would even complain if we are too slow to feed him.......YEAH! Hope this continues.......
