Milestone Moment: Baby's First Solids!

Preemie babies are often ready to begin solids at some point between their real and corrected age. That being said, Tyson's paediatrician gave him the go ahead to start solid foods.

Preparation:
His OT came by earlier in the week to show us how to prop him up in his feeding booster, and shared some other feeding tips.

Stuffed in his seat (literally):


First attempt:
Yesterday was his first attempt at solids. We started off with some yummy rice cereal (gotta stick to his roots!) -- he didn't seem too impressed.

Okay mom, I'm ready... bring it on:

Looks pretty good...

What the heck was that??


Second attempt:
Today was much better... we even got some smiles :)





Before we know it, he'll be chowing down on prime rib, potatoes, and ice cream like his parents :)
