No peanut butter, pass the cheese please!

Sera getting ready for food battle

Apparently, Sera is allergic to peanut butter. Well it is no big surprise since nuts are a very common allergy with babies. I noticed a rash, a few weeks ago, on her back and it just got more nasty, spreading persistently on her little back. I had a suspicion it was the peanut butter so just to make sure, I visited the doctor yesterday. Yeap, the doctor said peanut butter was the likely culprit. I did let out a sigh because that meant Sera's diet would now consist of only cheese!

Yes, Sera has become, over the last few weeks, a cheese maniac. She has stubbornly refused my feeble attempts to feed her anything else. I consulted some baby cookbooks for some fresh ideas, made little flower and star shapes out of her food, even let her feed herself into a big, horrible mess. With no success, I have slowly conceded to a cheese-only diet.

So for breakfast, she has soft cheese with bread. For lunch, it's fromage frie (I can't even pronounce it correctly). Sometimes I try to slip in some mashed fruit but she'd eat it only if the mood suits her. For dinner, I still try to add some variety but usually the food is left to go cold or tossed over unto the floor. Johan simply says, "She is my daughter afterall!" Ha ha, her love of cheese must come from her Dutch genes!

So I'm wondering if cheese for her every meal is actually all right?

Anyway, I've stocked up the fridge with a good variety of cheese. From light cheese (cottage, ricotta, feta) to hard cheeses (edam, gouda, parmesan), you name it, I have it. Add to the selection are yoghurts of all sorts. Now that should keep Sera happy till she is passed this cheese phase ... or is it here to stay?

Not too pleased with the taste of orange ...


Give me cheese ... anytime!
