Black and White
Today has been interesting. Melita's gums/teeth have really been bothering her causing one meltdown after another. After some Tylenol, she napped for a bit and now she seems content playing in her stationary activity center. Her meltdowns consisted of her only wanting me and wanting to be held. Which I don't mind. But it makes me sad to see her that upset. Also, we had been trying to start her on rice cereal without any luck. She'll drink it from her bottle but will not cooperate with the spoon. Helpful suggestions are welcome. Ugh. Despite the meltdowns, she has been super cute this week. She is amazing.

Cute pics. As for the rice cereal from a spoon try waiting a few days or a week and try it again until she likes it. Her gums might hurt too much to chew??
Isla was slow starting to eat she would not eat 3 meals a day until she was gone 7 months. Even now, when her gums hurt she will only eat yogurts.
We just kept trying over and over. It was definitely super messy at first. I'm assuming you're not using a metal spoon, which might the gums more.
Thanks girls. I actually broke down after this post and called my mom and asked her to try today where success was had! She mixed sweet potatoes with the rice cereal which Melita gobbled up in between tastes of her bottle. YAY!
Maybe Melita just has refined taste buds...have you tasted rice cereal? It is digusting!! Glad she liked the sweet potatoes though.
Hey, if she'll eat the bigger stuff, go for it. The sooner you get her on table food, the sooner you'll have a lot less work to do!
Well, then they get really messy, but at least prep time takes less.
