I get Kallo Organic Unsalted Brown Rice Cakes from Cold Storage, at the organic or baby cereal section. In Singapore, it’s found at Vivocity Cold Storage. In KL, it’s at The Gardens (Midvalley) Cold Storage.

Brown rice pastas are from Orgran. This brand has a wide range of gluten-free pasta and cereals. Vee also loves the Quinoa o-shaped cereal with his milk. Orgran can be found in several major supermarkets and even some pharmacies.

I simply cook the pasta, and serve them in replacement of rice. Vee’s happy to eat them without any pasta sauce. There are several recipes at Homemade Baby Food Recipes.

Wow seems like lil Vee is growing very well….. Yes indeed this is the age whereby he needs to be enpowered with autonomy to make choices…Vee would also want to exert his autonomy to practise his new skills…=) He would also try to test to see how far he can push his boundaries…. You can try to role play the kind of behaviour that you want him to display…E.g. Mama is going to do this…. or if he has a favourite toy character then you can use that as well e.g. Look…Mickey is sitting down quietly next to Mama… Could Vee like to sit quietly next to Mama? You got to be very patient and got to use a lot of imagination plus fun role playing to get him to comply…E.g. Wearing mashmallow shoes so we walk quietly if he is stamping and stomping his feet…Always say the behaviour you want to see e.g Please walk or use indoor voice and not “Don’t run, Don’t shout” coz he will only hear the “run” and “shout” words….This is my experience as a (ex) childcare teacher….Hope it helps….
