My baby is not deprived

When I left from India for Doha, I took one Nan 2 can, one Ceralac and one Nestum. Ceralac and Nestum were almost empty cans, but I was really looking forward to exploring baby food available in the Gulf. I visited FFC (Family Food Center) and rushed to the baby food counter. I was very excited to find baby rusks. I grabbed a box. I thought my baby should have had access to this when he started teething. Nestum is not avaliable in the Gulf. My guess is that Nestum is specially packaged for India.

Ceralac was available and the flavors that were available were wheat and dates and wheat and fruits. I was very disappointed with what was available. In India, some of the options available are wheat with honey, wheat with orange, wheat with apple and cherry, and so on. Nestum also has several options, rice with fruits, rice with spinach, rice with dal, and rice with vegetables.

Guess what happened with the baby rusk, Vidur chewed on it for a few minutes and then threw it away. My doggie ate it. I have left befind the box of baby rusks in Doha for my dog. So, I declare that my baby is not deprived. He has access to so much, much more here.
