The Week We Ran Out of Cereal

Ok, last week was tough, very tough. Due to my lack of attention, we ran out of Gabe`s fave oatmeal & prune cereal...which translates to BIG TROUBLE. He is a fussy eater and that was his main food. So running out of it sent me into stress mode and he into difficult-picky-stubborn-wailing baby. He has other cereals like chicken n fruits, but it`s NOT oatmeal.

So, i substituted noodles into his diet...noodle for lunch n dinner, 6 days straight.He loves noodles by the way, Udon, flat noddles, etc. But i think it was a bit too much overdose of noodles. So to ensure he didn`t get sick of it too fast, i spent 2 days in the kitchen making the `liao` or rather the topping to go with the noddles. In the end, i made 5 types, also for future use with his cereal since he hates porridge topping:

1) Mined beef fried with onions and carrots and potato with a lil soya sauce.
2) Minced pork with carrots and mushrooms topped with bolognese sauce.
3) Butter fish with long beans and pumpkin
4) Minced chicken with carrots and beans topped with mushroom cream sauce
5) Cheese hamburg with pumpkin

Yup....all for His Majesty. No choice, i was NOT going to allow him to regress in his eating. Not when he has finally started to really eat. I told myself when it came to his eating there is no way i was going to take it easy and let him `just eat a few bites`...i know he can eat. And i will do anything to ensure he eats even if it means me doing all sorts of food for him. I tell myself it`ll pay off in the end when i see his weight gain.

So yeah he had his noodles and i have to say lots of it...think he likes the chewy texture. In the meantime, i got his Esther Gugu to send the cereal ASAP.

We got the cereal, thank u so much gugu and the yummy yummy biscuits too.

At first, he kinda rejected the cereal coz he got used to noodles, but he`s adjusting to it now. Phew!!!! I thought i was gonna suffer a meltdown.

I tried giving him rice on it`s own, but nope, not to his liking, so I`d better make sure i keep better track of his cereal stock.
