We tried rice cereal for the first time today. I think it was successful. She acted like she liked it, but she had a hard time figuring out how to get it off the spoon and swallow it. She wanted to suck on the spoon and then her tongue would push it all back out. I think she probably got one or two spoonfuls actually down her throat. When I would hold the spoon in front of her for Jon to take a picture, she would lean towards it with her mouth open so I'm guessing she liked it. We will probably try again tomorrow. The instructions on the box say that for baby's first feeding, you should mix 1 tbs of cereal with 4 tbs of breast milk, so it was very runny.

She's doing a great job on her first try! She is such a sweetheart!! I love 'watching" her grow.

what a cutie!! Just precious as ever! Its takes a bit of practice to get rid of the "sucking" reflex when food is brought to their mouth. ;) Just keep trying, she will get it. It may help too once the rice is thicker. Yay Miss Adeline!!
ReplyDeleteThat was sooo very cute!!! She looks so pretty in the pics, even with food on her face! I am so excited to try with Roman. I read about the tongue thrust thing too so maybe waiting I wont have to deal with that big of a mess. Sometimes I stick an empty spoon in his mouth to see what he does. Its funny.
