First Foods

When considering starting solid foods, the EC mommy has an additional issue with which to deal. Tommy's primary potty place is the sink. Breast milk poopy that is watery is very easy to wash down the sink drain.

Once solids are introduced, the poop begins to not only take on an odor, but to become solid as well. The beginning of solid bowel movements usually means the beginning of transitioning to the toilet or potty chair.

That being said, today Tommy had his first solid food. (Actually, he had about 1/4 t. of plain, home made yogurt last week) TM took one thin slice of banana and smashed it on a plate. It looked like less than a teaspoon of mashed banana. Tommy opened his mouth and easily took the spoon with just a tad of banana on the tip. He ate about 3 of these bites.

Now TM waits and watches to see what passes...
