Wow it's been 2 months since I started Le Xuan on solid food. I was thinking it might be good to pen this experience down since it's a major step in Le Xuan's development...
I could still remember that we started Le Xuan on rice cereal when she was 6 months old. It was quite interesting to see her expression back then when she first tasted something other than milk, hehe. Besides rice cereal, we also bought a few jars of ready made food like carrots, squash and broccoli. However, it was disastrous when she started having fever, diarrhea and vomiting, and was diagnosed with stomach flu. I was overwhelmed with guilt then and until now, we are not sure if it was due to the solid foods given. When Le Xuan recovered, we were very careful with her food and decided to prepare homemade food instead. However, my heart sank when Le Xuan fell sick again within a month's time, sigh... Her diarrhea was so serious that we had to visit the doctor twice and also consulted TCM. Le Xuan only recovered after 2 weeks. However, we were pretty sure that it's due to teething instead of the food given. Since then, I have been quite excited and reading up quite a bit on the new foods that we could introduce to Le Xuan :)

So far, our dear princess has tasted rice cereal, brown rice cereal, carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, porridge, tofu, green vegetable and apples! It feels wonderful to see Le Xuan enjoying her food and I'll be introducing her to something new tomorrow, i.e sweet corn and avocado!! Hope she'll like it! =P Hehe, can't wait to feed her other foods like spinach, pear, threadfin and codfish :)
