Emily's Weaning Diary - Week 2
19-APR-2010:
In week 2, she tried carrots and potatoes, and I think she preferred the potatoes over the carrots. Here's a summary of week 2 weaning progress (at precisely 6 months old).
Monday - Two teaspoons of rice cereal with about 5 teaspoons of cooked pureed carrots, mixed with water. Didn't finished everything, obviously. It was more than double the amount previously, but ate quite a lot nonetheless.
Tuesday - Same thing as the day before. Again, didn't finish and didn't seem to be in a very good appetite. Noticed that she has done a poo when I picked her up from the high chair. Not sure when she pooped - was it before she started eating or while she was eating? Noticed bits of carrots in her poo. Haha!
Wednesday - Carrots and rice cereal again (I'm doing a 4-day rotation). MIL said she pooped in the afternoon. She didn't notice any carrot bits in it.
Thursday - Goodie, goodie! Mashed potatoes for dinner tonight, mixed with formula milk (this was the "emergency" formula that her daddy bought during the early days and it wasn't opened until now). The expiry date is next year or something but MIL said it has been on the shelf for so long and should be thrown away. Irks me ... ever so slightly. Anyway, she loved it. Cooked one whole tiny potato and she almost finished it.
Friday - Mashed potatoes for dinner again. One whole tiny potato again. Didn't finish everything, but had a good amount. Didn't poo today.
Saturday - Rice cereal with milk for breakfast. Mashed potatoes for dinner. Didn't poo yet.
Sunday - No breakfast today as mummy went to church and daddy didn't bother. Mashed potatoes for dinner. Still no poo. Is she constipated? Haven't done one since Tuesday.
