This girl? Loves her some rice cereal.
She is a huge fan of cereal mixed with green beans, peas, squash, bananas, apples, peaches, or sweet potatoes. And when it is all gone and you move away from her to wash out the bowl? Panic.
Also, she thinks she can run the spoon. But then she gags herself, gets mad, gives it back, and tries again. It’s a vicious cycle, I tell you.
With the introduction and absolute love for cereal, she has really diminished her feedings. She nurses first thing in the morning, around 1-2pm, and then around bedtime. I offer other times, but she is just NOT interested. I tried to give her a little formula in a sippy cup (because I don’t actually own bottles) and she wasn’t impressed. We’ll keep trying and see how long it takes. I would like to have her weaned by the end of the month, but we’ll just see. I certainly don’t think she is in any danger of blowing away!

I’m not sure if you have a pump or access to one, but maybe try pumping and then mixing breastmilk and formula in a bottle. When we started weaning, I did that and gradually increased the amount of formula until it was all formula. Might be worth a try?
I love her eyes!
