After two resounding failures (Attempts #2 and #3), finally success – true eating! No clamped lips, no spitting out. Isla simply welcomed the spoon with an open mouth and swallowed her lovely mix of light green goop, again and again. And I think I know why. It wasn’t because I used freshly-cut avocado or freshly-pumped breastmilk (I didn’t in either case), but rather because she was – wait for it – hungry!
I had read that I should breastfeed Isla a bit before feeding her solids so she isn't starving and/or grouchy. But this time I went straight to the "real" food and voila! A successful Attempt #4. Live and learn...
