Maya was fighting her way through the transition from nursing to starting solids. Thanks to my girlfriend Annie, I decided to try mixing her cereal with something other than breast milk. Diluted juice was the winner! I decided to try tag teaming her. The sitter and Esteban were getting her in the morning with cereal and I was getting her at night with either cereal or baby food. And finally, today it started getting easier. She had a full 2 ounces of cereal this morning and tonight, she had a good 2 ounces of carrots. Of course, there was carrot everywhere, on me, on her, on her boppy, on the comforter, and even on her socks, but I couldn’t have been happier. Awesome! By no means is she sleeping through the night yet. I would have to go cold turkey and let her cry it out for 3-4 nights, which I have NO intention of doing, or wait until she outgrows it. Sadly, this is my choice.
By the way, little Maya is not so little anymore. She’s now weighing 17 lbs and 12 ozs. She’s doing really well and just recently had her 6 month visit with the pediatrician. Besides a little eczema, all is well. She got all her vaccinations and her flu shot. Ouch!

It sounds like the feedings are going so much better. Those first feedings always are so messy, but they are the best. Sounds like she is growing well.
So glad to hear that Maya has made some progress with solid food! I hope things are continuing to improve!
I didn't know they give flu shots that for babies that young! Poor Maya. Sounds like she's growing well though. I can't let my kids CIO either. Don't worry, Ky-An didn't sleep through the night until he was 7 or 8 months old..hehe.
