Ano na naman kaya next time?
Amber is a very picky eater. She tries naman tasting everything we give her but she just doesn't eat much. Kaya if ever she eats something more than the usual, we just indulge her by giving that same food as long as she likes it. Lately, she loves eating mangoes. Since we give this to her most of the time, I just have to know how good (or bad) this fruit is for her.
