Week 26 - MMMM MMMMM.....YUK!!!!
(2/7/10 - 2/13/10)

This week we tried to give Andrew a little bit of rice cereal and like most babies the first meal was not exactly met with open arms.....I mean mouths!! There is no real reason as to why I started feeding a little bit of cereal, Andrew is still nursed and seems to be thriving on just that form of food. However we have still be plagued with bad nights of sleep and I thought that now that Andrew is almost 6 months old maybe a little bit of food right before bed could help him stay asleep longer.

It seemed to work the first night, although I probably only got about a 1/2 teaspoon into him tummy. We have worked our way up to maybe a teaspoon to a teaspoon and a half at each feeding, but hopefully he will start eating better soon. It is a chore to get him to even open his mouth and we have to sit and make funny faces and make weird noises just to get him to start laughing/smiling and then BAM!!!! We shove the food in his mouth and hope that a little bit of it actually makes it down his throat!

I think I might have to start on real food, like sweet potatoes or apples because this rice cereal just isn't cutting it in terms of taste for Andrew!
