The basics of weaning (Part 4)- How long

BabyS started on solids at 5.5 months old and I continued giving her cereal and puree for two months.. Here's what she has had and what she likes/ hates. (not in order of consumption)

Made by mummy:
Apple- likes (of course, she got me on a apple frenzy when i was pregnant with her cos my constant food craving was for Fuji apples. )
Pear- ok..
carrots- likes
pumpkin- likes
sweet potato (local and japanese)- likes
brocoli- ok (but it stinks man.. oh the smell when i pureed it.. but we gave it to her with other purees so mask the smell)
Australian blue pumpkin (no special reason y i bought this.. i just bought it cos only this was available- it doesnt taste as nice as local ones..next time will buy local one.)- ok
cauliflower- Dunno, never tried cauliflowe puree cos mummy cannot accept the smell so never given to her.
 Plums (sweet b4 steaming but dunno why it became sour after steaming. She didnt quite like it. i guess it was too sour)
Tofu- like.. with sweet cereal it tasted like tau huay.. (give plain silken tofu and not egg tofu, unless your child has taken egg already and is ok with it)

Bottled stuff (Step 1)

Squash (gerbers)- likes
apricot (gerbers)- likes
peach (gerbers)- ok.. maybe a bit too sour for her
Prunes (gerbers)- LOVES!!!!! (but causes her to poo poo alot also haha)
Parsnip/ carrot/ sweet potato
broccoli (i think they do a better job pureeing than me)

Cereal:
Frisocrem- likes..
Brown rice powder- likes! (makes her frisocrem smell nice too!)

I bought healthy times brown rice but didnt give to her in the end..

Snacks
Baby bites biscuit (original)- LOVES! She tried her first biscuit on (22/3/2010) and she finished it in 5 mins! previously tried a heinz teething rusk, about 2 weeks back but she didnt seem to know what to do with the melted biscuit pieces... this baby bites one, she ate it without any fuss.... DaddyS put her in the high chair and put her in the kitchen where i was doing puree... she bit off one piece at first.. when daddy and mummy were worrying if she'll get choked, our dear friend was there happily sucking on the piece of biscuit in her mouth like how u would suck on a sweet...
