Gonna bring Baby Z to PD again tonight as he is developing a phlegmy cough on-top of his dripping nose that comes and go all the time. Its hard to not have a cough with his daily diet. Thanks to his never-ending enthusiasm for 'mom-mom', he is fed with tasty bits every time his eyes rest on his bright green colored snack box or when he takes a trip down to our neighborhood mini-mart with MIL. Which practically means every day.
Its tempting to push the blame to my MIL for allowing Baby Z to eat that much snacks daily but i do remember myself enjoying the look on Baby Z's whenever he successfully gets 'rewarded' with a biscuit/sweet after he 'eh-eh' for awhile. A mental note to self, NOT to buy that much baby snacks in the first place.
But seriously Marketers out there are equally at fault, with the huge variety of shiny, bright delicious looking snack, tagging words like 'promotes self-feeding' 'organic' 'real fruits' 'no gluten' 'melts in mouth' , hey it makes even my mouth watered sometimes.
Whenever I grab a new baby snack off the shelf, i can't wait to rush home and pop it into Baby Z's mouth waiting to see his happy expression. So far I have fed him durian, mango, twisties(bbq curry), strawberry, kiwi, lemon and orange. All of which results in him wincing his mouth and gave a sour puss face cept for durian of course. He reject it immediately. Not very Singaporean. Gonna train his taste bud in future
Here are some of the baby snacks that Baby Z has tried so far, his favorite being Baby Bites and Teddy puffs.
Dread the long waiting time for paediatrician later, whenever i called, the appointment is always full, its like all these other parents have psychic powers and they can foretell that their child is gonna be sick. Of course, I do admit, i could have exude my 'psychic powers' last night and start calling to make appointment when Baby Z started coughing during evening.
Well parenthood is a never-ending learning journey. And so my journey continues.....
