Basti had his first taste of non-breastmilk food yesterday... we started with oatmeal cereal. I'd read and heard that rice cereal can be constipating, so we went straight for the oatmeal which has more fiber. Mixed 1 Tbs cereal + 3 Tbs cold breastmilk. Basti very eagerly awaited his first taste... and then made a face of confusion. Wait a minute... this isn't what you guys eat! Not sure he swallowed any, although his tummy was rumbly afterwards. And I thought his poop today smelled a bit of oatmeal... HA HA.
Today we had oatmeal cereal attempt #2. This time mixed 1/2 Tbs cereal + 2 Tbs warm breastmilk, and it went down much better. Tomorrow will increase the cereal amount, keep same ratio.
This morning had a meet-up with the mommies from my birthing class! We had a good turnout, considering... 6 out of 8 mommies!
- 3 girls and 4 boys, including a set of twins (interesting fact: one of the twins has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes).
- All born between mid July to mid August.
- Only one C-sec, baby breached (had same doctor as me!).
- Only one baby is on a set nap schedule... he likes his nap at 10, sharp. All others on variable nap schedules.
- One baby can sit up on his own.
- One baby had 2 teeth.
- One baby can blow raspberries.
- Basti has the most hair. =P
We will attempt to meet twice a month for various activities.

Wrapping Basti like a "tamal," ready for him to go to bed?
