We introduced Katie to pureed carrots two weeks ago tomorrow...2 wks before she was 6mo. We were at the point where we felt like we needed to try something else, praying it would make her sleep. Well it didn't, but anyway...
It wasn't instant, but she does appear to like eating! SCORE! Katie likes something! Whooo Hooo and it's a total switch from Kelton, who was my sleeper, yet a terrible eater.
Recall the suggestion of the miracle of rice cereal? Makes them sleep right through the night, right? WRONG. It constipated her and instead she was awake and crying more. I'm kind of smug about it, I just want to tell everyone, "I told you so."
She has enjoyed carrots and prunes with great delight. She's had green beans with a bit less delight. Her absolute favorite is a bug chunk of banana squished into a mesh feeder. We've also done frozen peaches which I imagine feel really good on her gums and aren't nearly as messy. Next up is mango. I'll probably also continue to offer prunes on a regular basis just to keep things moving as it's obvious we're going still going to be battling her tummy for awhile.
We're totally digging her high chair. I like it so much better than a regular big old high chair.
On the sleeping front... we're not sleeping what I would define as "good", but have been managing a few 2hr stretches a night and that's an improvement. We'll take what we can get. It'll get better eventually.
