Hunter, Uncategorized HUNTER’S 1ST TIME EATING FROM A SPOON 2 July 2011


NOMNOMNOM…

So Hunter doesn’t begin weaning until at least 6 months old.. which is in a couple of weeks. But I heard that exclusively breastfed babies often refuse the spoon and/or take ages to eat from a spoon because it’s just so so different to breastfeeding. That was news to me! So I thought we might as well get him used to what a spoon is and having it in it’s mouth…

I bought the Combi baby spoon and squeezed some breastmilk onto it (maybe 2 drops at a time), and stuck it in his mouth. Gave him the spoon with breastmilk about 5 times and he took to it OK (though his expressions were kinda hilarious) – I think it gave Chris and I a way bigger kick than it did to him πŸ˜‰ I figure we’ll do that every day or so to get him used to the whole idea.. so that in a couple a weeks we can transition to his Organic baby rice cereal (from Australia!) and hopefully he’ll handle that well. Errrr.. fingers crossed!

I love my 6mo BabyBoss to bits and beyond and think he’s just the best. But I am stressing him because I keep saying to him, “See what Hunter can do – Why aren’t you doing it yet…?” Hehehe, what a terrible Mum I am. But Hunter is just too cute.

aww so cute.

i like that pointy hair bit sticking out on top of his head.

he reminds me of a rug rat, with bread roll limbs!!

There’s so much information now on the different ages to wean, what you should wean with etc etc. It’s overwhelming! Thanks for this link – it’s good to keep informed and Hunter’s already 5-and-a-bit months so I think we can basically start anytime, heh

Thanks for the link! It’s always good reading up lots. The baby-led starts at 6 months which is the time I plan to start anyhow!
