Yona is like any other kid – she babbles a lot, throws a fit sometimes, super sweet, bolera and a picky eater. I find it very hard to feed her and most of the time I am putting the blame on Gerber. I was told before that I shouldn’t be feeding her Gerber because she’d be a picky eater when she gets older, I didn’t listen.

I couldn’t even believe myself why I forced her into eating a bottle of 50% fruit and 50% fillers (water, sugar and modified starch) when she can have it in an all-natural, 100% fruit. I remember she loves the banana variety. Should I have known that each bottle only has 50% banana, I should have given her mashed banana na lang.

Gerber’s taste is very strong, really strong that I feel like eating a spoonful of MSG when I tasted it. Instead of acquiring the said taste and loving food with strong flavors, Yona now prefers food with bland taste. She seldom eats rice but prefers pasta without sauce. Yes, without red or white sauce – just the noodles. This is how she eats her pasta.

Yes, that’s pasta with CHEESE. She loves both to bits!

and the sauce should be on a separate container…

She also eats macaroni without sauce and I cook it without adding salt on it. It’s just plain, boiled macaroni. She can have it all day, every single day. No wonder she’s not on the heavy side, but she’s not malnourished naman. Just right. With her built, I wonder if she would ever step on a treadmill when she gets older.
