Spoon Fed

Camille started practicing eating solids this past weekend.  Our pediatrician suggested that we give her the rice cereal at one of her feeding times and then follow it up with formula.  That way, she would be more willing to try it if she is hungry enough.

This was our first attempt....

Then, I did  a little experiment to see if it was the cereal itself or the spoon that was making her so upset.  I put a little cereal in her bottle, and she took it just fine.  So, that proved that the spoon was the issue.  We've been working at it this week, and she is adjusting to the spoon a little more.  I know that we will probably still have bumps in the road when it comes to solid feeding, but I am glad we are going ahead and exposing her to it.  I have noticed that it is helping her sleep a little more solidly at night.



Next, we are moving on to pureed veggies.
