Piglet

This week, we started to take solid foods to school with baby J to attempt to get him on a schedule and getting more nutrition. He has only been eating solids at night, so this was going to be another experiment with him. Since we are still introducing new flavors/types, we could only bring in something he has eaten before - so sweet potatoes is the breakfast food for the week. We started off having them feed him 1/2 jar at the first feeding, since it would be incremental food to his diet and we didnt know how much he would eat. He was eating all of the 1/2 jar on Mon and Tues, so on Wed we told them to try to feed him the whole jar and see what happens. So, our little piglet ate the entire jar of Sweet Potatoes today, plus all of his 2 bottles for the day. When we got home, he ate an entire jar of Peaches, plus his bedtime feeding. He is only eating about 4.5 - 5 oz in his bottles, but that is huge for him. Other moms have laughed when we talk about J's growing appetite, but it is a big deal for us. He had been eating anywhere from 2 - 4 ozs for 2 bottles during school. He is a pretty finicky eater - just like me. He eats when he is hungry and he doesn't when he is not. We really need to get him eating the cereals that he should be eating for the nutrition, but we are well on our way!
