September 27
Saturday the 24 was Kerstin’s first taste of real food. We started her with rice cereal. Ellie was super excited for her to start eating and was looking forward to getting to feed her. Kerstin was excited at the beginning and would move the cereal around in her mouth but would then push it out. More came out of the baby than stayed inside. Ellie was confused about why Kerstin didn’t eat “right”. After explaining that it was a new taste and eating is a skill babies have to practice (like bike riding), Ellie decided she wanted to taste rice cereal since she didn’t remember it. She also spit it right back out saying it tasted bad.
On day two of the great cereal experiment, every spoonful that went in came right back out. By day three and four Kerstin clamped her lips shut and turned away from the spoon. She is officially not a fan of rice cereal.
