My dearest 16-month old son, Declan, is the inspiration for the creation of this website. Throughout his growing-up process, I learnt lots of things which I feel will benefit other mums and mums-to-be.

 

I breastfed Declan for his first six months. Almost exclusive breastfeeding supplemented with occasional formula feeds. Exclusive breastfeeding is not commonly seen in Asia and I still come across people who are sceptical about the benefits of breastfeeding. To my satisfaction, I managed to perservere somehow.

 

We started him on solid food at about 6 months old. Starting with plain porridge, then progressively add one ingredient at a time, to observe for allergies. At the same time, we still make sure he gets his regular formula feeds, as he started to get active and refused to be quietly breastfed. He would roam around the house with his bottle in hand, a very adorable sight.

 

He started tasting adult's food when the doctor gave the go-ahead past the one-year mark. He's a baby who's keen on food anytime.....
