Aunty Chew Poh advised Mama to buy me some baby biscuits that I can chew on so that I get to practise chewing my food and not miss the developmental milsestone in this area. Mama took her advice and bought me some baby biscuits. She was trying to decide between teething rusks and baby biscuits but decided to get the teething rusks later. She had read from the label of the teething rusks has a small amount of salt added to harden the rusks. This has made her somewhat resistant to buying the rusks for me.
When Mama first gave me the baby biscuit, I didn't quite like it as I frowned after licking it. A couple of days later, Mama decided to let me try again. She gave me the biscuits and taught me to hold it and place it in my mouth. She also demonstrated to me by eating a piece of it herself.
I decided I can accept it better and so took some of the biscuit but Mama only gave me a piece of it. Here are some photos that she took. You can decide for yourself if I like them but the biscuits are certainly a little messy to eat. Maybe Mama should buy me another bottle of the Gerbers puffed grains that are smaller in size and less messy to eat. Those can also help me learn to chew, Mama thinks. But that will cost Mama another $5-6 as it's that expensive.
The current puffed grains Mama bought for me has already lost their crunchiness. You see, Mama was not sure how much puffed grains to give me and so only gave me a few pieces each time so that I will not regurgitate them. She ended up eating more of them herself. When Mama told this to her good friend, Aunty Kar Tin, Aunty Kar Tin wondered who is the one teething, me or Mama? ;p
