The whole experience can be summed up by this expression...
What on earth is this stuff??
We were excited when Sophie's pediatrician gave us the go-ahead for rice cereal, but it didn't go over so well with her.
At first she wouldn't open her mouth, but after some time she finally did. But as soon as the cereal entered her mouth she would just spit it out. She didn't seem grossed out by it, more like she just didn't understand that she was supposed to swallow it. She seemed very confused by the whole thing.
She spits up a lot, and after she spits up she still has leftovers in her mouth (yum) which she has learned to spit out. So I'm thinking this might be why she would automatically spit out the cereal, but who knows, maybe she's just not ready.
After a while, she realized she would just rather eat her fingers...
It may not have been very successful, but we sure had fun trying!
And she managed to make quite the mess!
We'll try again in a week or so. Better luck next time, Soph!
