Yum, nutella, havent had that for years... although we have safeway select belgium chocolate spread that we used on on pancakes ages ago -.. hum might have to try that.
MJ is loving Tuna ATM, i am just wondering how often i should let her have it though due to mercury levels?
sorry in advance, but I have a TMI question regarding poos....
We gave DS a few tries of some foods on teh weekend. Just for a taste. He loves oranges! He also (accidentally I think) ate some banana. What I mean is he broke off a bit in his mouth, tried to spit it out but evidently swallowed some bits. I know cause.... I found them in his nappy this morning (i know, ewwwww, what am I doing going through his poos..?, but I don't see what else it could be.) Anyway, is that normal? or a sign that he's not ready yet, since it was (i guess) not digested? Or was that just cause he didn't chew...?
Anyway, he's very interested in trying things in his mouth, but after the weekend I'm not sure he's really ready to eat just yet, so will probably leave it for a couple more weeks and see.
Oh, and SJ I used your hommus recipe at a bbq on the weekend. it was a big hit - thanks!
Hi guys,
it's been awhile & I have some news but no time for that, just wanted to answer Marcellus.
Banana was one of the first foods we gave DS & I found the same thing. When they get a 'chunk' in his mouth he wasn't used to the weight so would try to spit it out, most of it was spat out but I also found some in his poos. I also regularly give DS brocoli & zuchini & still find the brocoli bits & zuchini skin in his poos. The thing is they aren't getting a lot in & it more about them picking up the food, getting it into their mouths & guming it. For instance we might give DS 1/4 banana but never expect him to eat all of it or anything. When DS was your boys age I was only give himing something once a day but that would be bits of a few different things or just the one thing. If he didn't want it he wouldn't be eating it. JMO HTH
I agree with njd, if he didnt want it it would come out... MJ will spit out what ever she doesnt want and yeah most of it comes out in the poo's...
I dont think that its weird that your looking either, MJ is in cloth so i have to clean the poo of the nappies as soon as they come off, so i always am looking. Also im a nurse so these things matter to me sad i know
Broccoli was my biggest clue that she was actually consuming, its hard to miss the green bits!
I dont think that its is that they are not ready to digest yet, its just new and an adaption for the body... not that i study my poo, but we dont break things down entirely either
Glad the hommus was a hit.
Does everyone feed at the same time each day?
Sometimes if i am rushed, she misses a meal, she is not bothered by it, but i feel a it bad.... Maybe i should prepare in advance.
She doesnt eat dinner with us as she is usually in bed, but if we eat early she will sit up with us and be offered food again, i tend to give her dinner at 4.30ish.
AH, well that makes sense. I'm not sure that he really wanted to eat it - he had a really weird look on his face and tried to spit it out - but then again that's probably just cause he'd never had a lump like that in his mouth before.
In cloth here too, so that's my excuse for looking at his poos.
Thanks,
