Tonight was our first attempt at rice cereal with our girl! She's 4.5 months exactly, and her voracious appetite is consuming all of us. So we're trying to satisfy her hunger by adding in some watered down rice cereal.
The canister says that it's 4 or 5 tablespoons of formula (or breastmilk) and one tablespoon of rice cereal. Stir together and you have a delicious meal of watered down cereal! Mmmm. My husband describes the taste as "a dead skunk's anal cavity." What a delicious visual he is placing for us. But in all honesty, it does taste pretty gross. Like rotten oatmeal and mashed potatoes all together. Bleh.
But this is the first somewhat solid food that our Nylabear is getting! Hooray! At first, she tried to suck the spoon like it was a bottle nipple. Actually, she tried to do that the whole time. I think we're using the wrong type of spoon. Tomorrow I will go to the store and buy every single type of spoon there is so we can find the one she likes. Once we find the one she likes, we will proceed to buy out every store within a 10 mile radius of that exact baby spoon. I've learned that that is what you do; when you find something your baby likes, buy 10 million of it.
All in all, Nylabear ate about half of the rice cereal. Then we gave her a four ounce bottle and added in the leftover cereal. You would think that she would slowly drink her bottle. No. She sucked it down like a vacuum. I'm telling you, our girl is a hungry monkey!
See the video below for a sample of her feeding.
