On Weaning & Teething

Four more days and Haikal will turn 7 months old! Whaaaaaaa...ttt?! That fast?! *sobs*

So it has been a month since I started weaning him off. Talking about weaning, he's been a good and not-so-picky eater alhamdulillah. Be it porridge with carrots, sweet potatoes, purees (apple or pear) he has so far shown no specific preference. Basically yeah he just gobbles up everything, making it easy for us.

And I'm glad now we are doing everything ourselves, as in no more ready-to-mix porridges. We bought some beras merah at the weekly market and some veggies, voila!! Nana prefers cooking them in a big portion and put them in the fridge in batches so we don't have to make them everyday. Simple, I love! At the moment Haikal's taking the porridge as his breakfast & lunch, and fruit purees ( also homemade) for his lunch.

And have I mentioned that he is cutting his first 2 teeth?? Yeay! Well I thought they were going to come out a little bit later, but here they are! I'm thankful that we didn't have to go through the scary period of teething (I heard babies can get feverish and very very cranky). And soon we shall start on freshly cut fruits instead of just the mashed ones, but that also means dental hygiene and care is going to start early for him.

So, that is all so far, and too bad I haven't managed to take a clear pictures of his two teeth! Will try to snap one and post it up on his 7th months birthday insyaAllah.
