Milna Rusk

We actually found out that Heinz bought over Farley’s a long time ago… more than 10 years but they only did the re-packaging a few years back. Heh… I just know this now.

Anyways, little jj seems to really love them. I have fed her along with my milk but she also enjoys them even when mixed with plain boiled water.

And she seems to get hungry easily since she usually only finishes less than half of the ice-cube portion of them carrots/potato + cauliflower/apples/pears/etc. As a mommy, my motherly instincts kinda tell me that her night cries may not only be due to her teething, but probably also due to some craving for food before her early bedtime.

As of last 3 nights, I started adding those rusks to her diet, pinching only 1/3 of the digestives and mixing them with water. The one saw how much it changed her moods at night. She’d always go cranky before bedtime but once she was feeling full, she either slept easily or she could just play on her own quietly, not bothering any of us for us to pick her up.

I actually bought the rusks as finger food since she’s already picking up things and stuffing every little things into her mouth. But then again, I really shouldn’t encourage feeding her everytime she stuffs her face because I am a little paranoid when I see photos of slightly overweight little girls posted on albums in facebook.

How does one really control food intake in infants?

I’ve googled on the net on how many times I should really feed my baby but there is no right or wrong answers found.

When I reviewed what I give little jj, I would like to believe that I’ve been feeding her a healthy diet. I mean half an ice-cube portion of carrots or potatoes or apples, etc. at every meal time does sound pretty healthy to me. But instead of 2 meals a day, I’m feeding her 3 meals a day… but they are still healthy food, I think.
