As the title suggests, we’ve finally found a foodstuff that R and G absolutely love. In fact, they lap up big bowlfuls of it. Having tried it myself, I can see why. It is delicious! One of the more interesting aspects of the weaning saga is trying out baby food. Most of it is absolutely disgusting so I’m not surprised they’ve been rejecting it!
From despairing about weaning and wondering if they will still be drinking formula when they are 18, the girls are suddenly on two meals a day, a third to be added at the weekend. R seems to have a sweeter tooth, while G prefers veg (strange child!). They will at least try most things now, although a pasta, tomato and cheese mush jar didn’t sit too well with R the other day (don’t blame her, it tasted horrible!) and she spent most of the afternoon throwing bits of it back up. Nice! Won’t be trying that again for a while.
Once the third meal is established, I need to have a rethink on timings of food and milk. At the moment, they still have their milk feeds at 7, 11, 3 and 6-6.30 and food at 10 and 2. This means that I spend most of the day (or so it feels like) feeding them. From Saturday I’m going to try giving them food at 7am followed by their milk and see how it goes.
