Same thick hair, same chubby cheeks. But that is where the similarity ends. Iffah loves her milk, but not her food. Akif is the opposite, he is not a drinker but feeding him so far has been quite a pleasurable experience. After 4 years of feeding a girl whose favourite phrase is "dah kenyang, " I was beginning to feel that I must have done something wrong somewhere.
Well, I did try. After all, when I started out Iffah on semi-solids, I bought so many kinds. Nestle cereal, Gerber cereal, Heinz cereal, Frisocrem. I tried all .. She did eat, but little. I could never finish anyting before the expiration date.
So right now, I am hoping that my little Akif will be one who loves his food. I won't say that he eats everything. He hated the cauliflowers and vomitted the bananas I gave and the apples that were not blended fine enough. However, when he eats , he eats a lot. And that is enough to make mummy happy.
My philosophy on food has changed too. I am not too adventurous this time. My primary aim is to fatten him up :) So if he likes something, I will just give. And after he reacted to Nestle ( a surprise cos Iffah reacted to Heinz n Gerber but not Nestle ) , I began to be interested in Organic Food. I like Healthy Times cereals cos the brown rice cereal contained just that ..brown rice. and not a long list like other brands, making it hard to trace what the allergens could be. And as Iffah did not take well to Heinz , I opted for Heinz organic this time.
Right now, Akif's food are blended papayas ( his fave ) , pear , apples and blended carrots.
Healthy Times Brown rice cereal and Oatmeal cereal
Heinz Organic Golden Vegetables .. Yummy. Iffah could never finish anything in a bottle .. but Akif can .He has finished two and Im thinking of buying more .. so handy for day trips n travels.
Well, I can't wait to see how likes his porridge.
