We were given the green light by Dr. Berry to begin Ava on bananas and rice cereal. We decided to begin with Earth's Best Bananas for 4 months and up. She was reluctant to try at first, but then seemed to enjoy the taste.
As many of you know, Ava has been teething like crazy and giving Mommy a big workout and Daddy a headache. Sometimes she sleeps only while being held, with Mommy walking back and forth. By 3-4 pm, twenty pounds feels like forty:) The good news is that Simon found Hiland teething tablets that are working to relieve her pain, resulting in a happy baby. It kills us both to see her in pain. Looking forward to the farmer's market tomorrow and Sunday Brunch with friends.
P.S. I broke down and purchased a baptism gown in size 18-24mo or 22-28lbs, just in case the family dress that I wore is too small, better to be safe than to be stuck on a Sunday morning without a dress to put her in:)
Not to be a bug...but I would not use those tablets. They contain Belladonna a very serious herb....used to treat migranes. They can cause constipation, neurological problems, and affect the kidneys. Thay also contain caffine which can make it even hard for her to settle into sleeping.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris:)She also likes to suck on a frozen washcloth. What do you think of oragel? I'd hate to give her tylenol. What worked for Carter and Lilah?
