less for MORE

Suddenly Richie's appetite was back again since last monday, exactly after he passed 13th month.
When mommy gave him his meal during lunch and dinner, he ate very fast and never spitted out.
Well, mommy was so happy.

Previously, since he didn't want to sit still for more than  5 mins, mommy gave him half of his usual portion.
And when mommy gave him last monday, he seemed hungry and asked when mommy ate.

So, on Wednesday, mommy add to become 3/4 of his usual portion to see whether he finished it. And he did it.

Finally mommy found the solution if he didn't have enough appetite, mommy will give him less and let him ask for more. I guess it works for us.

The moral of the story :
If the desire of eating comes from the child, it will be easier to feed him instead of forcing him to eat
Always give less than what he wants, to make him wants more

On the other hand, the weaning is still in progress. It's kinda of up and down though.
But mommy always tries to be consistent at least giving him 135ml milk in the morning. The rest of the days depends on his meal and mood. Other alternatives, mommy gave him a tub of yoghurt everyday and a slice of milk pudding (made from his formula milk + agar agar powder)
