Eating

So Maddy has not been very excited about learning to eat. On Thanksgiving we started trying rice cereal, but Maddy hated it. Our doctor suggested trying oatmeal because it tastes better. She didn't really want that either. When she turned 5 months, we were told that we could try veggies- green ones- with her. We thought because these had a stronger taste, they might go over better. They didn't. Maddy was at this point getting very stressed out and upset just by putting her in her high chair. So we backed off majorly. (We did this about a week after Thanksgiving too.)

Well, over the last several days, we've tried oatmeal (with bananas, cough, we're not supposed to do that, cough) and she is actually starting to get into it. I will be so glad when she's eating regularly and food is not a worry! Hopefully she continues to want food and we can start reintroducing things again!
