Hmm..something to share abt the weaning process that has gone on for the last few days.
Dre took to the bb rice quite well for the FIRST DAY ONLY. On the second day, she fussed quite a bit when offered the puree, so we gave her the banana...which she refused in mashed form but was willing to take the cubes and munch. Subsequently, I gave her a platter to choose from. Is this a mistake? She has a trio of bb rice, mashed pear and carrot sticks. While she has no prbs with the carrot sticks, she refuses to touch the mashed stuff. So we tried feeding her. Impossible. This is again, something like the bottle strike.
Today..I was shocked when she sulked and buried her head in her hands when she was put into her high chair. The moment we snapped on the bib, she went into a screaming fit. This time, I removed all veg sticks or stuff and offered only bb rice. Refused them. Don't even want to cooperate. So I let her be. Three hrs later, on a whim, I took an empty spoon to her to test her tongue...on sight of the spoon (sigh, this really sounds like the bottle nonsense eh?), she went ballistic. She was in bumbo this time and she managed to "hop" out of it and scampered away from me.
I brought out the arsenal of spoons I had to see if she would have preferred any..no luck..she is in a spoon strike right now.
Yesterday and today - the weaning programme for Dre is officially derailed.
I can't imagine having a battle with her...which sorta accounts for my terrible mood. But on a lighter note..she is most willing to drink from her MagMag cup..but only water. It doesn't work when ebm is offered. I find this so queer and vexing!
