So we started cereal today. Aly was
cranky and hungry, so I breastfed her a
little bit to take the edge off her
hunger, and also so that I could pump some
milk. (for some reason I have trouble
pumping - my breasts are pump-shy, I
guess? Aly has to get the milk flowing
before it really comes out.)
anyway, I mixed her cereal with my milk
like the directions said - 1 tablespoon of
cereal, 4 tablespoons of milk - so it was
pretty much just thick milk. I put her in
her bumbo and tried to feed her. She
seemed more interested in chewing on the
spoon than actually eating, and most of
the food came right back out again.
My question: how do I know if she got
enough down? She seems happy now, and
.I'm pretty sure she'd be fussy if she
were still hungry, but it seems like she
didn't keep much of the cereal in her
mouth. Is there a way you can tell?
