Weaning – week 5

19/04/201624/06/2016

weaning week 5

Food this week consisted of three meals again for each day, and we also had our first attempt at finger food by giving Clara a mango stone to gnaw at for a little while. It was pretty slippery for her to keep in her hands so I have since purchased some wheatgerm that we can sprinkle on any other slippery foods in order to make them easier for her to hold, but in general she seemed to have fun with it! She did manage to break quite a large bit of fruit off from the stone at one point which scared us a bit as it could have been a choking hazard, so we called an end to it for the day, but I know that at some point we are going to have to learn to trust her to eat chunkier bits of food so hopefully the fear factor will ease off as time goes on!

Weaning – week 4

12/04/201607/06/2016

weaning week 4

Food this week has been fun, and we have begun to introduce some common allergens to Clara’s diet to see how she gets on with them. She had baby rice and yoghurt with no sign of a reaction, but we introduced egg for the first time with more mixed success. On the plus side, Clara seemed to enjoy it, however, she threw up quite a bit afterwards so she may have an allergy – we will need to test this again at a later point. I read somewhere that yolks have a lower allergy risk than whites, so maybe next time we try egg we will just do the yolks and then reintroduce the whites again a bit later on.

Weaning – week 3

Our cheeky little sausage

Moving onto our third week of weaning and we upped it to both lunch and dinner each day this week as Clara had started to get the hang of mealtimes and we felt she could handle an extra session. We also had our first potential allergic reaction as she came out in some hives on her face soon after eating aubergine for the first time so I think we will avoid repeating that one again in the near future and maybe give it a couple of months before we give it another try.

Trying out the new buggy seat

Today is Good Friday and Jamie has booked the whole of next week off work so that we are able to have a bit of family time over the next few days which will be lovely. When we woke up this morning the weather was absolutely gorgeous so we decided to make the most of it and go for a little walk with Clara as we have been dying to try out the new seat on her Uppababy Cruz buggy for a couple of weeks now.
