He is used to the banana taste. But he swallowed too fast and thus causing him to choke a little. I have to bring his body forward and pat his back to ensure that he will not be choked with the food.

Notes:
Today I have increase the rice cereal to 1 1/2 tablespoons instead of 1 tablespoon. I observed that he seems to want more. Increasing the amount of food depends on your baby's appetite. Just follow their cues.

Please always give baby cool boiled water during feeding and in between milk feeds. This is important for babies's kidneys since they are now on solid food. The kidney needs to work a little bit harder to process the food, thus they require water now.

Day 1 of Banana Puree

My grinder and grind banana

Today is the first day I am introducing my boy with banana. For banana, I don't have to steam or cook it. I just grind/mash the banana into puree and mixed it with the rice cereal and breastmilk. I will need to monitor if there is any allergy reaction later on. So far so good for now.
