Right, have been a lazy Mummy Bear again and have not been posting. So started weaning at 17 weeks as I said I would, started on baby rice, which he gobbled up, then a bit of carrot.
The carrot massacre started at home, then I went to Southampton to go shopping... but I carried LO... wearing a white t-shirt. And the jiggling on my hip meant plenty of orange vomit over mummy. yum.
So I gave him an ice cube of carrot for a few days, then sweet potato, then butternut squash. He was really showing and interest in food and rather upset when it was gone! So I gave him two cubes, either two types of root veg or a root veg and pear (Butternut squash and pear have been his favorite so far)
When this had been going well for a few days, I started on breakfast too as I'd only been giving lunch. I tried mashed banana. And had it spat back in my face. So I added a little baby rice. Still not keen but ate some of it before grabbing the bowl out of my hands and smearing it every where. I ended up having to bath him after the banana massacre, as it was in his eyebrows and everything. So I'll give banana a miss for a few days!
Today he's had pear and baby rice for breakfast, then he's going to my mum's for a bit so he can have some kind of orange goo when he gets back. I was surprised at how well he has been with food, he's really keen to try things and really enjoys some of them! I make sure not to give him to much (as I don't want to make him fat) and not too close to his bottles (as I don't want to put him off his milk) but he's still taking the milk well, he's sleep is getting better and he's happy!
Baby Bear has also learnt to roll back to front. Which is great. Sort of.
He now constantly rolls onto his tummy, for a few minutes before whinging to be moved. As soon as I flip him over, he rolls again. He can roll the other way, he simply chooses not to!
N.B to self, four month old babies move faster and further than originally thought. Leaving drinks on the floor does result in them being spilt!!
