All about Food



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.
