We have been forcibly feeding Cito rice cereal mixed with formula for over a month now.
Everyday.
Religiously.
Last night I read that he may still have a tongue-thrust reflex that is preventing him from eating solid foods.
Fine.
It should disappear by 6 months but in the mean time continue to offer food weekly.
We drove to the wrong side on Elkhart to pick up "baby crack" and jar food for mere pennies.
I lined my pantry with all of the tiny little jars containing unsalted, unprocessed, untasty, pureed food and decided to pop open an unlabeled jar from my baby shower games to give Cito- his first taste of carrots (or sweet potatoes?).
HE COULDN'T STOP EATING.
LITERALLY.
His little fingers wrapped so tight around the rubbery purple and yellow spoon that we had a hard time getting more out of the jar.
SUCCESS.
He still has the tinted color of carrots around his mouth and cheeks which gives him the cutest "sun-kissed" glow - as if we had applied a fresh coat of baby bronzer.
