Because of Quincey's troubles staying asleep, we decided to introduce formula to her at night time to see if that would satiate her a little more and get her a better night's sleep. She has never spend time eating for comfort so my ability to feed her a little to calm her down, make sure she is full, and sooth her to sleep has never been an option and, quite frankly, she is too busy to spend much time eating. She has always been quick to get the job done and move onto the next order of business so. She quick quick slurps it down until she is full and then wants nothing to do with it. (Wouldn't it be nice if more of us were like that!) Because of this, I was leary that she wouldn't be interested in a bottle substituted with formula but, to my surprise. She loves her nightly bottle. She gulps it down with no problem.
So, we decided to introduce rice cereal to her. I actually had a bunch of food given to me and for her first solid food, she didn't get rice cereal although that's what I thought it was. She got oatmeal. Since then, she gets her baby cereal in the morning and is getting somewhat better at figuring out the spoon thing. It takes her a while but after a few bites of more food coming out of her mouth than staying in, she gets the hang of it.
Here is a video of her first ever time eating solids. She did better than the next video... Must have been beginners luck!
It's been so fun to make these transitions with her. It is just so hard to believe still that we had a baby and that, what seems like within a blink of an eye she is eating with a spoon!
