amy - give him a few tries with the sippy - he may surprise u one of these times! the family doctor agreed with what u said and said if she likes and can handle fruits and veg's go - go to town - give her whatever she likes/wants..and if she can't handle cereal so be it! she said not to feel bad b/c there are moms who just bf for up to the first year and they don't get iron supplements - as someone had said before - if it's not long term don't sweat it!..am a little relieved now...anyway, dd sometimes squeals/moans/whimpers in her sleep and once in awhile lets out a loud wail like she's screaming bloody murder than just goes back to sleep after a min or two of fussing - must be a bad dream or something.
i first started dd on jarred baby food and she took to it really well. now that i'm settled and totally moved, i started making her some and the first time i introduced it she gagged and her face turned bright red lmao it was funny after i realize she wasn't actually choking!..new textures - a little thicker in consistancy probably threw her off, the next time i gave it to her she loved it tho! still haven't tried her on any finger foods tho.
jennifer - caedan and alecksandria are pretty much the same weight and exactly the same height - we should both be thankful that we don't have sore backs to complain about! :wink:
jordan's mom - just keep trying with the cereal but don't by any means force him, just give him a taste and if he doesn't want it try another day...or maybe try another food. i just got annabel karmel's cookbook for babies and toddlers and they have an awesome meal plan in it...for first foods, seconds and so on..wish i had it from the beginning.
well, finally dd got her shots and she didn't even cry! just a frown until she snatched the puppet from the nurse then it was all smiles again! waited 5 hours in the waiting room and another hour to see the doctor once we got inside and somehow she stayed happy the whole time and even napped for 45 min! she never ceases to amaze me these days....
