I've made it successfully through two weanings without much scarring, however this time the initial stages have been giving me the heebies!
CC celebrated his half year birthday last Monday with a tablespoon of baby rice mixed with some of mummy's finest.
He was suitably impressed, but also suitablty curious about the utensil which was being waved around in a most tempting manner in front of his face. At every opportunity he tried to grab it and direct it towards his mouth (obviously not realising that was where it was headed anyway!) and with each grab came the squidge of grainy slop being squeezed through his fingers. This ends up all over his face and anything else he grabs before I can get in there with a cloth. I particularly don't like the feeling of this all over me!
Since then his menu has consisted of:
Tue - more baby rice & boobjuice
Wed - babyrice, boobjuice and pear
Thu - pear & apple
Fri - apple & purple carrot (looked like a massacre!)
Sat - Weetabix & cows milk (brekkie) apple & butternut squash (lunch)
Sun - same as sat!
He has his first banana on monday which went down a treat. I had to use some to convince him to eat his weetabix on tuesday (and today!) he has now had the magic combination of banana and avocado. Always a winner!
Admittedly he is now getting a bit better with the tongue motion although I am still having to restrain his arms whilst feeding. It has been duly noted that BFS cunningly shyed away from any feeding duties whilst home and has planned it, I'm sure, that by the time he's finished this stint at work CC will pretty much have sussed the whole thing and he'll pick up from there citing that he can't understand what all of the fuss was about......
Moi? Never......;-)
