Eya got her 3rd jab of the triple dose vaccine last Saturday. I asked Dr Mary if it is normal for Eya not to turn yet. Until now, she doesn't even make a half-turn. At first, we thought it was due to her weight but all of my frens' tot has turned. Dr Mary said it is normal for a baby to skip some stages and straight go to crawling phases or sit on their own. When she tested Eya, she said that Eya is stabile and balanced. She can carry her own weight without any problem. She even told us about a patient of hers, Afiq who is 6 mths, 9 kg that don't turn and straight sitting on his own. Maybe Eya is just like him.I also asked whether Eya can start to be weaned. She told us don't start yet as Eya has a very healthy weight gain. At 4 1/2 mths, she is 7.4 kg. She should start eating solid by 6 months old. Dr Mary advised us to start by giving her rice porridge, and add new ingredients after 4-7 days. This is to let her to be familiar with the taste before introducing a new taste to her. Then, add some carrot, and maybe potatoes after that. The carrot should not be cooked together with the rice as the nutrients will be lost during the cooking process. Vegetables should be steamed and mashed before added to the rice porridge.I really couldn't wait for Eya to be 6 mths old. I want to buy all the cute plate, fork and spoon so she can enjoy her food. Buying Farley Rusks, Nestum, Gerber baby food, all that stuff. p/s: By the way, she is 1st on the waiting list for the nursery.
