Zoey is now experiencing new foods. She's 4 months old and very ready. When she was 3.5 months I gave her a taste of cereal for the first time and she did really well with it. We also did bananas mixed with breast milk. Last week, she tasted a bit of smashed avocado and after making a hilarious face, she tried to suck my finger off my hand. That's my girl. :)This weekend we spoiled her and gave her pear baby food in her cereal and she definitely liked it a lot more... but then we gave her straight pears. Big mistake because now she doesn't want cereal, she only wants the fruit. Oh well, I suppose that isn't a bad thing... they don't have to have cereal right? I'm guessing it's the first solid they're started on because it's mild...
This morning was the first "solid food" explosion. Zoey had the biggest oozy/drippy poop I've ever seen. It was dripping out of her onesie and was all over my arm. What did I do? Laugh hysterically. It was quite funny and it didn't really smell very bad... it was just oozy and gross looking. We pulled the onesie down instead of over her head to avoid it going in her hair. I just threw the onesie away. I couldn't bring myself to clean it. Zoey just smiled the whole time.
Looks like we're in a whole new world of feeding! She's getting a little bit of solids every night between her last 2 feeds as a snack until she's a pro at eating and we can replace a bottle with baby food. Four month check-up tomorrow!
