It’s no hidden fact–Jamayia’s been slow on the whole eating solids bit. She’s great when it comes to her cereals before bed time. She wolfs that bowlful down easy! But during the day, the fruit & veggies is a whole other story.
At nighttime, her dad usually bathes her and dresses her for bed, while I make her food. Then I vanish while he feeds her. That’s why she eats so well. Then I reappear for some breastmilk top up.
During the day, however, Daddy dearest is at work, leaving Mommy to tackle the feedings alone. So, this week, we’ve been trying the organic sweet corn casserole yumminess. The other day, she was open for a whole 4 spoonfuls! Better than the usual 1 spoon she permits. Then today, she quit after 2 spoonfuls. So I nursed her, then decided to try again. She said no to the spoon. But…
**ding** (lightbulb going off). I had a brainwave. I put some of the food on my finger, and she was happy to lick it off for me. I did it again…and again….and a few more times. She was actually eager for the solid food! I’ve never seen this before with her. Ever!
So, she’s not completely anti-food. Yippee!
