Weaning baby kaile?

Personally, I find that Asians are very stubborn. I realised many parents start weaning once baby turns 4months. It's very common to see baby eating cereal and by 5months, porridge and vege is a norm. I stand on neither side as I think it depends on parents. Well, bb kaile is not the typical baby. He doesn't know how to swallow food at 4+ months and I took it slow. At 5months, he's practically 'drinking' the cereal when fed with a weaning spoon.
So now, at 6 months, I've decided to try again because now the nurses say I have to start. Haha. 
We've got so many cereals!! Millet, brown rice, rice cereal and the sishen cereal from euyanseng. So all got to try!
Millet- doesnt like the texture
Brown five-star slight watery poo
Sishen-slight hard poo
Rice- normal (I'm using nestle but I find it a little 'sweet')
So sticking to normal cereal with a scoop of brown rice cereal for lunch now :)

Anyway, I'm going to start the mashed food soon! Up a level! Stay tuned!

Working VS SAHM

It's been so long since I blogged but I think my son makes me feel like blogging. Blogging this important chapter of my life before I slowly forget. I think most mothers will have lousy memory since the start of pregnancy. He's now 6 months and it seems the first few months of his growth is flying way faster then I could remember.
Watching him grow, to be honest, is bittersweet and contradictive. Waking in the middle of the night with he's loud cry is never fun but looking him smile at you when he wakes in the morning can be the happiest thing in the world! Everything is worth it!!
Now that he's older and knows more, the more I cant bear to leave him off my sight. I'm considered lucky among many others ,of course not comparing the rich taitais. I work at home as a freelance nail technician aka manicurist. I get to take care of him when I'm not working and to bring him over to my mil's place. But!!! Now I really find it so hard to part with him. To earn money so as to provide him with a better life or to spend time with him before he grow up and no longer wants me to hug him?? 

I think I choose to earn less. What's life if I earn money and he only need ne for material need right?? 
Again,I think I'm blessed with a very good job. :)
