Veggie Update

I am proud to announce that Aubrey has had a change of heart and is eating her carrots! After my last post I spoke to several of my Mommy friends and they gave me lots of suggestions on how to introduce solids. I added about a teaspoon of the carrots to her rice cereal/breastmilk combination to help slowly introduce the new flavor. After the first bite she gave a puzzled look but kept opening for more. Over the last few days I have added more carrots to the mixture at each feeding and today she ate carrots straight up! Nate and I were so happy. I hope this continues because one thing I have learned about babies is that they change daily. This is a helpful link a friends suggested about introducing solid foods.

My doctor did not discuss any of the suggestions my friends told me about. I guess that's why I was so shocked when she wouldn't eat the solid foods. I didn't do any research other than what the doctor told me and just fed her stage one baby food and thought it was going to be easy as that. I was clueless. Well now I will know for our next child, Nate you are going to have to wait for awhile (he is ready for number 2 already:)

I have a baby food maker so I am going to start having fun with that after our Thanksgiving travels!
