Ridhima has not yet accepted anything apart from her mother's milk. Our trials have received a dismal response so far, we have not given up as yet but now understand it is not easy. The reason we have been pushing ourselves to feed her milk from outside is, Rinku has been anxious thinking that her nutrition requirements must have increased and she should be fed something that can stay longer. I am not sure if mother's milk start to become watery or something and that hardly fulfill the needs of a rapidly growing infant. The discussion is still on and we have been inviting opinions from neighbors and ofcourse visiting relatives.

I did not have an idea as in how tough it would be to feed a child the ready made milk through a spoon. All you need is a little attention of her and there you go! Take it from me it is not at all simple, children these days already come with a developed brain- talk evolution- and they know what you are up to. I have seen my baby clinching anything she comes across and put it into her ready mouth. This has been the only way she loves or hate things. The moment I sit with milk bowl and a spoon reaching her mouth, she just zips her tiny mouth with all the strength she has got. Nothing doing! And the trials go in vain.

The new development is, she is growing her first tooth and chews on it all the time. I do not know if loose motions have something to do with it? The way she cries has also changed now, she now knows how to use it tactfully to get things done her way. It goes without saying that she keeps her grandma, grand pa and everyone occupied. We have missed the deadline of her next dose of vaccination and planning it get this done this weekend. Will keep you updated. Stay tuned!
