A Sweet Intro

This blog is dedicated to our darling boy, born prematurely at 29 weeks and miraculously survived all odds during his 57 days in the ICU. We named him Reagan, which means our "Little King", strong and brave enough to fight any battles. He is also our little king whom we worship with a lifetime of our love and kisses. Baby Reagan continues to amaze us with his awesome strength, big personality, joyful laughter and lovely smiles. This is where we share both our learning journeys and all the fun bonding time together.

My 16 mths old food diary

Finally as promised, here is the  food diary of my 16 mths old (14 mths adjusted) from any particular week. Sorry for taking so long to post mine up.

Usually my boy wakes up at between 6-7am for a milk feeding, then his first meal (lunch) will begin at around 10-10.30am. He will take some snacks after his lunch or/and after he woke up from his nap which is usually around 2-3pm. His dinner starts at 6pm, follow by a fruit feeding. His 3 hours milk feedings still continues.
Everyday routine-

I add vitamin C and DHA liquid supplements catered for babies, into one of his milk feedings (usually his morning feeds) and a dash of flaxseeds and chia seeds into his lunch. Alternate days I introduce juice to him, either I dilute prune juice and put them in his bottle/sippy cup or let him drink from the straw of the Bert & Ernie (Apple & Eve brand) or Hansen's Junior juice box  ,which is organic, 100% juice and vitamin C and no sugar added. On some days I give my boy a little juice together with his meal as I read that vitamin C helps the body to absorb more iron from the meal he eats. As long as you make sure he does not take in too much juice that fills up his tummy completely!
