Adam and Mommy
We have been gradually introducing Adam to solid foods. We started with rice cereal and originally planned to wait on other solids until he reached 6 months. Good plan, but Adam doesn't like cereal at this time. He frowns and gags when we try to feed it to him. We decided to try carrots to see if he just wasn't ready for solids. He did just fine with carrots. We tried applesauce: frowns and gagging. We tried feeding him his normal formula by spoon: no problem. We tried the cereal ourselves. Nothing wrong with it. It actually tastes pretty good. So, the cereal will be put aside for a couple of weeks and we'll continue with the carrots being the only solid supplement for now.
Adam has gotten in the habit of trying to sit upright and look around while he is feeding from his bottle. This has made feedings a little frustrating for whoever is trying to get Adam to eat and frustrating for Adam, because he wants to sit up, move around, look around, play and still suck from his bottle. It also makes for a messy feeding.
What a LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteI heard this from some other moms, and it was also true in our case...babies seem to prefer the "orange" foods first. Carrots, sweet potatoes, squash (though that one's more yellow I think). Maybe they're more sweet than the rest? I don't know.
How much cuter can he get?? I can't handle much more!! Love the pictures!!
