So my little one has been battling with sore gums, fever, smelly nappies, drooling, a chronic runny nose and the worst one crankiness aka TEETHING. It's her canines that are surfacing and the last time she was like this was over a year ago. I had totally forgotten how the household turns upside down--her sleep pattern changed in the day, there was moodiness, and nights were broken due to dry throat and pain in her gums. Naturally her eating was affected as well. The only thing that comforted her was yoghurt and warm milk with a pinch of tumeric. Good thing was that she was having alot of water, juice and fruit but hardly a few mouthfuls of her meals.
But it looks like post weekend, she has turned a corner. Gobbled up a bowl of chicken curry with roti and potato with mustard seeds. Of course it was all submerged in yoghurt (just the way she likes it). And slowly but surely, she finished her bowl and I breathed a sigh of relief. My baby was getting better....
Parents--Any ideas there of what foods comfort your baby at this trying time?

ReplyDeleteAlso a tip - saute spinach with Indian spices, add a little water and freeze in to individual serving sizes for baby in ice cube trays. To reheat - just pop in microwave and feed to baby! You can do the same thing with mashed chickpeas :-)
Hi Farah, Thanks for the tip. This is great for busy moms :)
