Plus, we were pretty eager to see if a more traditional first food would better suit her palate, since the avocado was such a bust. (Spoiler alert: It didn't.)
So food number two was Gerber's Organic Baby Oatmeal mixed with breastmilk. Lucy had a variety of reactions to this concoction, including:
"What you talking 'bout, Oatmeal?"
"We don't need no stinkin' oatmeal!"
"Et tu, oatmeal?"
The box of oatmeal was careful to warn us that it can take a baby 10 to 15 tries to warm up to certain foods, so we'll keep going with this oatmeal thing for the next couple of days, and if she still makes these faces we might try a box of rice cereal.
How did you get past the "e tu" face? What a melter. I hope she makes the "whatchu' talkin' 'bout" face more and more and more.
ReplyDeleteEmma's first food was rice cereal mixed with breast milk, and maybe some mashed banana. Did you know that mashed banana turns clothes BLACK if you don't wash it out thoroughly? Hug that girl from one of her biggest East Coast fans! -- Aunt Anne Claire
ReplyDeleteOh Lubag, oatmeal is so good! You will grow to love it, promise.
ReplyDeleteShe did grow to love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I did not know that about bananas, but I think that is going to be next on the list once we get to our favorite grocery store, so I'll remember the tip. I hope the black does eventually wash out?
