Earlier while Travis was on my lap, I was eating a piece of banana (a small piece, peeled). All of a sudden, Travis grabbed some (little mashed up pieces) and stuck it in his mouth! He seemed to like it! So I placed him on his exersaucer and let him take a “bite” again, which he did. Every time the banana came towards him, he would open his mouth trying to take a bite. It was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!
We haven’t fully started him on solids yet. We did give him rice cereal about three times now. The first time was when Joseph and I were thinking, “Maybe breastmilk isn’t hitting the spot anymore (when he started regressing in sleep),” so we gave him some and his extrusion reflex was still strongly intact. So we stopped and waited about a week and half and tried giving him some again, same results as the first time. So we tried again about in a week and he’s gotten better. He was swallowing most of it and only pushing a little bit out.
Travis will be turning 5 months on Monday. When Monday comes, I’ll slowly start integrating solids into his diet. I’m so excited! :)
