Broccoli-Eating Like A Pro

Baby Way has passed motion 3 times normally since starting on egg yolk custard. Instead of waiting 4 days for the second sample, we're starting today!

Initially I wanted to try oatmeal cereal, but changed my mind to broccoli! It was Ning's favourite when she was starting on solids.

The first spoonful of puree didn't go very well, it was gritty instead of smooth like the custard. And it wasn't as sweet. So it was a challenge to feed him. I had reserved some florets for Ning, but decided to give him one to hold and see what a broccoli looked like, before it was pureed.

Lo, and behold, he held it like a drumstick and chomps away without any prompting! He devoured half the floret before dumping the limp stalk and remaining branches on the table. I will cut the stalk longer next time for him to hold again! What a treat!

Am still worried he wouldn't be able to digest those as well as the purees. Will check stool to see if I should continue with the pureed version, or florets! If no difference, will let him enjoy drumstick style next time!
