Solids II

Day 3 Wednesday

Slightly more cerealy with soy milk- worked well as bubba's aversion to soy was cleverly thwarted! I think it's the apple that did the trick. Made an apple puree and stirred that into the cereal. He seems to like considering the amount consumed.

Day 4 Thursday

I think he can now sense the soy cause I failed miserably at today's lunch save for a few forced spoonfuls.


Day 5 Friday

Success! I chose to start earlier because at lunch time, he is almost always sleepy after his bath so about 10ish when he just woke up from morning nap, we read his favourite Milly Moo and Wheels on the Bus, sang a few songs and he lapped up his rice cereal.

Yeay.

Next week, I am going to lay off solids because I have a feeling that his reflux has improved, so am going to do away with thickened feed and try the soy. Its going to be a real battle as he HATES soy. I don't know what it is. Just a whiff and he goes berserk. So must brace self for the trial. The only way I am going to beat the milk allergy and the doctors who seem to think Neocate is the answer.

Solids

Day 1, 7.7.08 Monday

24 Weeks.

One of those lovely, dreamy sun dappled days for S's solids.

Slightly early for lunch today but at around 11.10am, he had two spoons of very soupy rice cereal! In his own grown up cup and spoon. The momentous moment however missed my little star who after that turned away firmly. But mummy is over the moon. Her bubba boy is on solids. Happy days!

Day 2 Tuesday

12.30pm

Mixed cereal with less milk today.

However, not too good today as he got too hungry after I stopped his bottle mid-feed and decided that since he looked satiatied, will quikly chomp down my lunch first. By the time I was done, he was screaming and had to let him finish his milk first. The first spoon after that was greeted with distaste. I waited for half an hour and managed to give him another 3 spoons. Hopefully, fare a bit better tmrw.
