We are now a few more days in to our weaning experience with Indigo and things are going quite well. We have offered a variety of different things, all of which has been well received. The challenge at the moment is trying to figure out what shapes to make the food so it's easier to hold for her. Fruit seems to be particularly slippy and difficult to handle; we have offered her banana, mango and melon and each fruit seems easier to hold when we leave some skin on the end to create a handle. Though once the fruit has been dropped a few times and her hands are all wet and sticky it really doesn't make much difference anymore... I guess she will figure it out on her own eventually, in the meantime I really must resist helping her out too much!
Yesterday Simon cooked up an omelette with some veggies for lunch. We made sure that the eggs were well cooked and then cut it into finger shapes, these were really easy to hold and nice and soft to chew on. She absolutely loved eating the omelette and what a mess she made of it too! Despite the mess though, we are really enjoying having her at the table with us.
Here she is eating a very large piece of melon (left) and munching away on daddy's omelette (right).
Poo update:
We have had a few poopy nappy changes since we started (don't worry, no pictures to follow), and I think that I found some lettuce (well, it was green...) and a few seeds from the bread Simon made for her. How exciting, something is getting through. I wonder how accidental the swallowing is at this stage?
