My memories of introducing Finley to baby food is blurry but my blog posts are helpful to reminisce, however, I still find it to be starting at square one as I began to introduce Dagny to the world of solid foods. We brought up the high chair, wiped it down, and let her sit in it to play a couple times.
Then, it was time to get down to business. I mixed some breastmilk with some baby oatmeal flakes (dust) and guided the spoon in. Man, what a mess. Who knows what is getting ingested, dribbled out, wiped off, smudged on the bib, etc. She did tolerate the experience though, so I considered it a success.
We have tried to have one "meal" each day since and while I never have any clue how much she's "eating," I do see the occasional gulp and swallow amidst the tongue thrusting so that's positive.
This morning, we tried mixing in a little sweet potato to the oatmeal. I won't say she loved it, but liquid sweet potatoes don't sound all that appetizing, do they? I think she's getting the hang of things and from the look of her here, I'd say she's enjoying it!
