So, it turns out I have one baby that didn't want a thing to go in her mouth (
Carli) and for this reason didn't even attempt to try to eat cereal or fruits
until well into her 6
th month and even then, she wasn't too happy with a spoon in her mouth. Ava on the other hand, loves to watch people eat and loves to put things in her mouth. So, last week we gave cereal a shot - secretly hoping it would help with the hourly wakings at night. Didn't so much help there, but found out Ava loves to eat! :) She was champ, no bib needed as she ate it all the first time around!
A few days later, we figured out that the cereal caused Ava to get stopped up - so upon the advice of the doc we switched to just doing fruits. Not sure why, but I could swear the doc told me to use applesauce, but after comments from other
ppl and reading online apparently applesauce causes constipation too. Poor baby - so on to prunes and peaches!!
Prunes do require a bib as she has discovered blowing out when we put a spoon in front of her mouth makes stuff fly off of the spoon and amuses her!
