I gave my bb the 米糊 (bean stalk brand and mix with milk powder) when he was 5 month old. Sometimes he likes it sometime not. MOst of the time he dislike it. When he turned 7 mth old, i started to give him 粥仔 and he did not like it at all and he had few spoons and he stopped and cried. Now he is 11 mth old, he loves 米糊粥仔 so much, whatever flavour the 米糊粥仔 he can have 3.4 adult bowl in 5-10min time.
What I am trying to say is, when the baby is ready to accept the food, they tend to like it. Just that when they first have it they feel strange and resist to it. Be patience and give them everyday so that they get use to it then they will like it. When they turn older, they will be more interested in adult/solid food, then they will like it. I find my son started to move his mouth when he sees me eating and that's the time he started to like his 糊仔粥仔. I believe that's the time he really ready for 糊仔粥仔. In the begining, since he does not like it so much and eat not much, you can save your time and go buy those beanstalk rice powder with ingredient (think there have four types - with potato, with vegy, cheese, pumpkin etc etc). When they start to accept 糊仔粥仔and start to eat more than 1/3bowl, then you can cook for them the natural 粥仔with fish, meat, vegy, carrotetc etc. It will be very upsetting and discouraging by spending time making the soup base, get pready with ingredient and cooking 粥仔 but yet the baby just take few spoon and sometimes does not even want it. Dont waste your time, in the begining stage can let them have baby food first for few spoons and when they start to eat more, then you can start to cook the natural one.
Be patience. for my baby he turns 7mth old, I started to give him variety of food and fruits. And i bought the Kewpie brand of fruit pudding, cheese pudding...being his dessert. Besides, i give him adult food that he is interested plus i think he can swallow (I am a naughty mummy). Some ppl says dont let me try many food, otherwise he will stop drinking milk. So far my son behaves and he still can do 600-700ml milk a day + two meals of solid food + a fruit + a dessert (pudding) a day. He accepts many kind of flavour. Food that i think "yuks" he also likes it...hahah!
I used to be very nervous and worry when my bb resisted to 糊仔粥仔..but just take it easy..baby needs time. just like sitting, crawling, walking. Diff baby takes diff length of time to develop those skills..so be patience.
Try give the baby not the 甜 geh 糊仔. Check out the beanstalk one..with potato, cheese, apple, pumpkin...the flovour is just nice. I started to give my bb this and he loves it espcially the potato and the cheese one. this is not the sweet type and after this my baby start to like the 粥仔 i cook. 粥仔 you can put my pork to make soup so that it has flavour. http://www.re-on.com.hk/cat.php?c=19&lang=tw
