The hangover has ceased, and I'm back to normal. Well, as normal as I get. :)
The Critter food diaries continue, and this week will be broccoli. And chicken too! She's already had broccoli a few times, and it went well. I mixed it with sweet taters and/or apples, so it tasted less vegetal, and she liked it. Gobbled it down in fact.
At our peds visit last week, the doc encouraged us to begin upping the amount of food per feeding, and begin to add feedings. We had been doing 2-3 oz once a day. Now she is taking 4 oz twice a day. We'll work up to 3 feedings a day.
We'll begin adding protein this week too - chicken breast! I poached a chicken breast in water, then into the food processor with some of the poaching liquid, and viola! I plan to mix it with apples. I'll let you know how it goes.
I was saying to Mr. P last night, I'm really liking the ice cube tray food - I can serve her more like a real meal, with different flavors as opposed to opening a jar of one thing. Each cube is 1 oz, so she can have mixes, which I do a lot of, or 2 courses - veg then fruit dessert.
I'll let you know how chicken goes.

ReplyDeleteHi Pie! Critter is such a good eater! I just bought sweet potatoes for Wy. Hopefully he loves them. I have a question regarding broccoli: When making it in the food processor, did you find it was not a smooth consistency? If so, did you use water to make it smoother (because of the florets)? The reason I'm asking is because I'm always looking for new veggies/fruits to try with Wyatt. Any tips or ideas would be awesome! You're the best!
