Another first today. Feeding from a spoon! We mixed some applesauce with his Elecare feeding today, and it was....well, a first. That's about it. We wanted it to stay short & ending positive. I think he liked the taste of it, but wasn't sure quite what to do once he realized it was staying on his tongue. His gag reflex is pretty extreme....and he choked around the 4th bite, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? I think he did a great job!
Keri, we had a hard time with Isabelle when we first starting feeding her, she had that gag reflex too. We were persistent and soon, you could see the joy in her face at each feeding, she got it down without a problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :) I hope it gets better soon...who wouldn't like applesauce, right? I'll keep at it!
