5 Months Old Today!

So, we have one more month to go before Haikal gets to taste foods other than umm's milk. And one more month to 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding. Where has all the time gone?! I recall the mini post-partum depression I experienced during Haikal's first few months and the struggle in trying not to formula-feed him, and can't believe I've successfully passed the terrifying stages.

And now Haikal is 5 months old, I should start planning what to give him as his first foods. Plain porridge is definitely on the menu, but I'm also thinking of other alternatives incase he refuses the porridge. I still have BLW on my mind, but I'm unsure if I can cope with the extra mess.

Anyway, DH got a Bumbo seat for our 5 month old boy as a present. He went shopping on his own and I believed he had bought it on impulse. First-time ever but at least now he understands why I have those stacks of kains. He was so excited when he got home and couldn't wait to put Haikal in it that he woke him up from his nap. And of course this is what you get. A not-so-excited baby.


LOL! At least smile at the camera lah baby! Anyway, I am not really sure if this is a good thing to get or not. I am pro- natural-development, as in no bumbo seat, no walker etc. I personally think putting Haikal in the seat is a hindrance to his development in terms of sitting on his own, so I might have to limit the usage of the seat. Anyway, we'll wait and see what's going to happen next.
