Xiao Bao Bei is having 2 times of porridge since last week. So now my schedule needs to include the porridge preparation & cooking, then feeding her.
It was a mess on the 1st day. I let her sit up and she sputtered on my face!!
And first time ever, I raised up my voice 2x “What are you doing?!!”
She paused for 2 seconds, then sputtered again!!
Well, I think I still haven’t break my record in yelling at her and scold her. Just the tone is higher 2x. It is also funny that I speak English with her when I am mad? =P
I called up my mum and she suggested me to lie her down when feeding time. (I was doing that for the past 2 months when feed her some vege puree.)
The situation got better and better. Now, she could finish 1 small bowl of porridge within 10-15 mins.
I am happy about it because I could see the improvement from day to day.
At first, she will turn over and crawl away even though I am still feeding her. Also, I have to remove her spoon from her mouth (this one is for her to grab in order to distract her from fighting to get my spoon) and feed.
Then, she will only turn over and crawl away when I go to get another few tablespoons of porridge.
Now, she will wait for me while I go get the porridge while she lying there playing with the spoon & plate. Also, she will remove her spoon and open her mouth when I say “mum mum”.
Ahh…. within 1 week time, everything turns out to be so well! Thanks to my gal for her cooperation. Of course, the feeding timing, position, mood etc are the keys too.
The next challenge will be, when to let her sit up and eat. =)
