New Mum’s Food Adventures

Not much has changed. Except recently I bought Bellamy’s Organic Vanilla Rice Porridge and it smells amazing. Baby loves it. He is getting close to 9months old and is almost ready to try some very soft finger foods.

I serve this plain or with formula. I had to make the decision to get him on formula and he has bottle aversion so I’ve been battling that simultaneously with teething. He keeps teething rather than drinking his milk. But it’s ok. He still gets enough liquid. It’s just been hard to get him on the bottle. We will get there eventually. When he uses his sippy cup he knows he to teeth and not drink but when he wants to drink he does. He just will not drink from his bottle pinching it off with his fingers or tongue and chewing on it. Normal considering he just cut his two front buck teeth and he just wants relief. So I serve the milk cold and let him play with his bottle which has stopped him from screaming his lungs out at the sight of the bottle. He almost has a positive response now. He only likes a particular style of bottle so far and really hates a specific one. He is getting some formula in food here and there but mostly he’s dealing with his new teeth.

Since his two new teeth came in he has started gagging because when the food goes in it feels new and funny and he plays with his teeth. So I have for now gone back to ultra smooth purée until he gets used to the new feelings. When he is ready he will get to try some new things and I’ll start posting about it. Otherwise I have been doing much the same things and the recipes shared along with using store bought easy food pouches.
