3rd solid food: Organic Cabbage

i found out Nijiya market sells organic vegetables and they have cabbage. Great news! i brought it for my baby and blended it with rice. i fed him 2 days and his face was ok. i can see a little bit of redness, but the rash didn't come out. I don't want to give him too much like carrot last time. overall, i think cabbage is the best one so far. :) 甘草水 did not work for my baby~  he had rash after 3rd day from drinking it... then i tried soy formula~ didn't work either.

2nd solid food: Organic Lettuce(過敏)

at 6 month and 2 wks, I got the organic lettuce from Trader Joe and hoped his tummy can tolerant it. since my baby is sensitive, i make sure not to give him to much solid food and only one at a time. but his lips and chin start to have rash again after i fed him the 1st day. so i stopped feeding him the 2nd day, but the rash continued for 1 week. The Chinese doctor suggest us to give him some 甘草水去胎火. so we will give it a try and see if it'll get better.

Chubby Cheek Cafe


3.5 ★★★ for the ambiance and the service
3.5 ★★★ for the food
$30 and below
since our baby is still small, there aren't many restaurant that are BABY friendly.  this place just opened recently and i am urged to try it!  since it's newly opened, the place is clean and spacious, but mostly are booth and only suitable for 4 people which is understandable b/c it's good for single family. But we came with friends and they don't have many seating for large group.  we asked the waiters if they can arrange 2 booths into a large table and they give us a face.  The waiter definitely need more training.  but the owner was nice enough to help us out. the owner is very thoughtful and know how to treat his customers! Thumbs up!  i do not expect their food to be good since we are not here to eat. so i ordered the waffle and it was edible. better than i expected.  i would probably come here again when our baby is old enough to play at the playground. but they do charge $10 per kid.
