My Arya - May 14, 2008
Arya has been in kindergarten since 14 months of age and now his age is 18 months.
He is now learning to feed himself with a spoon and mostly he asks for green leafy foods. He is eating everything fine, but tries to depend only on breast milk whenever he's with me and refuses to eat anything else. Sometime it takes me more than hour to feed him other foods!
Nowadays he has stopped eating fruits but enjoys eating meals with us together.
NOTE FROM EDITOR: Breastfeeding is wonderful, but sometimes little ones can be very reluctant to give it up! However, it's great that he enjoys eating meals together - it's so important to include your baby at the family meal.
