Kwame is the light of my soul and as such, getting him to settle hasn't been easy. I tried feeding him with breast milk for the first three months. In the fourth month, I tried giving him formula in addition to the breast milk since I needed to return to work but it wasn't easy, he will vomit everything and worse, get sick too. The look of pain and frustration on my face was enough to say oh my God, what do I do now? But I still had to keep on trying. So I had to try and try and try till now Kwame wouldn't throw up again. He started loving all the food I was feeding him. I would cook vegetables and purée them and sometimes feed him with bottled food from the stores.
I know most moms wouldn't like the idea but let's be sincere here, we are all interested in what our kids feed on and as hard as the try is, one cannot conclude on just one path so why not try until you find that perfect way to make your kids grow healthy and happy? No single rule works especially when it comes to kids.
Talk to your paediatricians and some experience moms because truth is, you're not the first mom in that situation. Always be patient and keep trying.
