Lydia eats Enfamil Gentle Ease through her Mic-Key button. That's all well and good when you are a baby, but what happens when you grow up and you're still getting all your nutrients from processed liquid stuff? Well, maybe nothing bad, but can't you imagine how much better it would be if you were eating sweet potatoes, kale and cauliflower? Healthiest baby on the block!
Most babies have begun the transition to real food by one year of age and it's just a normal thing. Lydia has only had tastes, not that we wouldn't give her more, it's just she doesn't know she is supposed to eat it. When she tastes baby food she maybe plays with a couple tablespoons of food and doesn't consume that much. We'll continue to work on oral stimulation and feeding, she'll get there.
For now, we learn things. In a couple of weeks the nutritionist from Infant and Toddler Services of Johnson County will come meet with us. We'll probably start with adding one food to her formula feeds. Then we'll see what she tolerates and increase and add variety from there.
Oh and a pretty cool kitchen guru perk...a vitamix or blendtec is a necessity. Crazy! I will thoroughly wash the jar/pitcher after making margaritas, I promise, I promise.
