If I had to take a guess.
I would guess that Logan doesn't like rice cereal. He eats it, but not willingly. There are bouts of crying (where I worry that he's going to inhale & choke), but a crying open mouth is the only way it's getting in him too. Fortunately, Buddha & Kitty hang out to lend a helping paw, keeping Logan entertained & yet a little distracted.
I've mixed with water & apple juice & as of this morning breast milk too. I was able to pump about an ounce when it was time for him to eat. I mixed it up & it wasn't much better than yesterday. He did eat all of it, which is an improvement from the last few days. But, still. I think I made need to try a different type of grain or something.
I gave him some banana yesterday. He seemed to like that a little better. Not as much crying as with the cereal. I might try & mix the banana in the cereal & see what happens. I'm also going to get avocado & some other veggies & we'll start on those this next week.
Our Roots
- Kristin
- Colorado
- I married my soul mate 10 years ago. We got married very young & we are very thankful that we did despite what other opinions may have been. It gave us a chance to grow up together & learn how to ride life's roller coaster ups & downs as a team. We had some good friends & adventures in Vegas when we started out. Then we hit a fork in the road & moved to Portland, OR so I could go to school & pursue a career in chiropractic. That's where we learned that sometimes life has plans for us other than our "perfectly mapped out" one. Bill got a promotion that moved us out to Colorado, somewhere he's always wanted to live, but a place where my thoughts of chiropractic school would die. Marriage is all about compromise, so we made the move to bigger & better things. As we continued to be successful at work, it felt like there was something missing. That's when I started to think about having a baby. As a stay at home mom to Logan, life was everything we wanted it to be. Then we were crazy enough to do it again & soon added Carter to the family. This is our adventure raising two boys in the Rocky Mountains.

When we first started feeding Kira, we had to wait til she was screaming too since that's the only time her mouth was open. I think (or at least with Kira) it's because they're pretty hungry and spoon-food doesn't come as quickly as milk. LOL. Kira's now mostly very patient, and waits mostly silently for her food. (She didn't like the rice cereal either and it ended up really giving her hell)
We haven't given her banana by itself yet, though I'm looking forward to trying it. Did you end up buying those almost "over ripe" ones to mash up?
I had a banana in the house that was a little spotted. Not too brown, but not too yellow either.
Oatmeal solved our cereal issues. D HATED rice, would never eat it, but dude, you couldn't give the kid enough baby oatmeal.
With the new foods being introduced, remember the "poop fruits" rules: fruits that start with P help the kiddo poop (prunes, peaches, pears, plums) and apples and bananas tend to have more of the opposite effect. This was really helpful to me as the only time D has EVER been stopped up was when he was on rice cereal, so peaches and plums became our best friends last summer! :)
