Pediasure has been part of bb’s catching up milk since he was 1 year old. I thought of changing it to other brands, as IT has gotten more and more costly. I stopped by at one of those Chinese medicine shops in Old Klang road, they have better price in comparison to big hypermarket. I took a serious look around for OTHER brands, so many varieties, all claimed to have the best nutritional values. Eventually, I bought a Pediasure and one Dumex Mamil Gold step 3.
Before bedtime, I made him Dumex milk, handed the bottle to him and watched him quietly. He put the nipple in his mouth, sucked once, pulled it out, stick out his tongue while staring at the milk and shook his head with a “Dun Wan”, pushed the bottle back to me.
UH OH! die liao, he can tell the difference. What do I do with the big tin of Dumex? Scratched head, “Ting ting” an idea came across, I can coax him to drink. I pretended to cry like him and mumbled while crying..”Mommy make milk milk to bb, bb doesn’t want, mommy sad, urrrrrrrrrrrr……..”. He actually came to me and said some consoling words with stern expression, which meant “mommy you stop crying first, I drink”. That is how I talk to him when he cries, now he is doing it back to me.
He sucked 2 times, pushed it back to me again. I pretended again, and he obliged too, sucked additional 2 times. After that, he refused anymore. I think he must also have noticed the Dumex tin on the table, he shouted “Dolphine” while pointed to the tin. Yes, there is a Dolphine pic outside the tin. Arrgh…I should have bought a smaller tin, but there were none. Sobbed in my heart, now what do I do with the Dumex? Gosh! Plan 1 has failed terribly! Any ideas for plan 2?
