Picky Eater No More

After months of pureeing, mashing and carefully introducing new food to Calleigh, making her food now becomes a little easier for me. My "picky eater" now eats real table food... I have been able to identify what she likes and what she doesn't!

She likes:

Potatoes from Nilagang Baka - AMAZING!!! dati ayaw niya ng potato

Sopas

Sayote from Tinolang Manok - AMAZING!!! 

Chicken

Fish - Tilapia (she started eating tilapia at 8 months)

Sausage

HAM - GALORE!!!

French Fries

Ampalaya - tried once and she liked it

Carrots

Egg - her all time favorite

Cheese

Cereals without milk - serves as her chips while watching tv

Hates:

Beef - maybe she doesn't like the texture yet!

Oatmeal

Spaghetti

Hmmmm, my picky eater seems to be improving. Now she eats almost everything. But my main concern here... She seems to be eating less food than she was before. Hay!! "Praning mommy mode" they say NOT TO PANIC because.... 

Baby's appetite can vary from day to day and is influenced by such things as: a) Teething, b) temperature and humidity, c) how active he/she is, d) not feeling well, e) developmental stages. 

And a baby's growth naturally slows down at this time, so she may simply feel less hungry than before. Continue to offer a wide variety of foods and be patient, she'll let you know when she's hungry.

Okay fine, maybe I need to see her pediatrician just to make sure. Calleigh eats 4x a day plus her 6oz of milk per feeding for a total of 7-8 bottles a day. Ooops, plus (1) 4oz of milk at 3-4 am. ^^ She's more interested in what's going on around her, than what's on her plate. So along with her emerging personality comes strong OPINIONS ... and if she doesn't like it, she's not eating it!
