That's good progress! :celebrate:

The fancy cups can be bought at Tom & Stephanie, Kiddy Palace or any department stores.

Our family avoids wheat-based and corn-based cereal so it's quite hard to find alternatives. Once, the Shop N Save near my home held an atrium sale and I found Spelt cereal by Arrowhead Mills. Now, I can't find it anymore. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can find Arrowhead Mills products at Shop N Save and Cold Storage but I prefer Spelt, which I have difficulty finding.

Just to share :


Most Organic products are glutten-free (check the label). I bought mainly the organic food snacks for my 19 month - cereals, crackers, dried fruits and packet pear and apple juice for treats during long outings. But do note they have very short shelf life, buy as and when you need.

I think i've seen the spelt flakes at Jason's, Brown Rice Paradise, Supernature. Not regularly, but enough that i've noticed. They will entertain calls for inventory checks, so can just give them a ring if you crave for it

Thanks but I think I will make do with none for now cos these places are not cheap and nowhere near my home.

What kind of fruits and veggies should I introduce to my 12-month-old son? I am worried that his tummy might not be happy with the fruits and veggies I can think of and I wanted to ask experienced mothers here of their suggestions and experiences of the pros and cons of the fruits and veggies he can have. First-time mommy here!

By 12 mths, a child can eat all normal foods. Just introduce them in small amounts one at a time in case of allergies, but after eating a few times with no problems, then the food is OK. In fact, he should have been introduced to a range of common fruit and veg over the past 6 mths.

Agree with slmkhoo.

I avoided giving kids fruits like orange or grapes when they are very young due to personal belief that it is phlegm inducing. It does not happen to every kid as far as I know.

For the same reason, I avoided cooling vegetables as well. I stuck with neutral vegetables like pumpkin, asparagus, carrot, potatoes, spinach, ....

If my child is constipated, can I incorporate chia seeds to his food aside from letting him drink lots of water?
