When Emilee went for her three month weight check appointment we asked about foods. Normally they say four month old, but because of the weight issues we have, her pediatrician is all for her starting cereal early (becuase that means more calories) at the recommendations of her palate surgeon. I called them and they said it's ok if she likes it. So we tried it out on Saturday night. We ran into two major problems. Problem #1 - She is trying REALLY hard to sit up right now... so... if she is sitting at any amount of an incline she is pushing her head forward trying to sit up straight. This is part of the reason that she doens't like her car seat, she is constantly trying to sit up further. I'm going to have to fix her high chair strap before she sits in it because we can't tighten if enough to hold her in. Problem #2 is a going to be a little more difficult. because of her PRS, her tongue is further back in her mouth, so getting the cereal onto her tongue and not in front of it is going to be a huge learning curve. But we are going to try it about every other evening, so we'll see how it goes. The first attempt... not very well. but here are a few pictures.
