Eating

A typical breakfast

(l - r) barley cereal, pureed pear mixed with yoghurt, water
ellis' breakfast

A typical dinner

(l - r) brown rice porridge (in chicken stock) with pureed carrots added, water
ellis' dinner

Here she is, mouth opened WIDE in anticipation. Feeding her is an art - there must be enough food on the spoon and the feeder must keep a steady pace, or be rewarded by drool blowing or a shriek. If all the above is met and she really likes whatever she's eating, she goes Ammm...mum...mum....loudly throughout the meal.

But after the food is gone and water is given the bub is NOT happy. She bats at the water container and snatches at the spoon. As you can see she has lifted her bum off her high chair in protest.

Hey! Aidan has the same BB bib! I'm not sure if Ellis does this, but Aidan tugs at it hard enough to rip it from his neck...yikes!

Where can I find the BB bib? How much does it cost?

saz - thankfully ellis hasn't picked up that little skill yet!
anon - i've seen it at many places - mothercare & motherswork come to mind. it's less than $20 if i recall correctly.

Mabbe u try dipping the porridge in water a bit before feeding Ellis. In a way, she drinks a bit of water. :)
