Food for thought! (I mean Danika)
I am very happy! I finally solved Danika's food issue! I have have been searching for something that she can feed herself, so I can have a few minutes here and there to do stuff, or I can actually sit down and eat a meal with the family, instead of eating by myself after feeding the baby!We gave her a biter biscuit, which is a rock hard biscuit that babies are supposed to chew/suck on and it turns to mush little by little- she bit it in half and choked so bad we were grabbing the phone to call and ambulance when it finally went on down. We tried cheerios, she couldn't chew them. We tried little pieces of bread, they got gummed up and she'd choke on them. Finally mom told me to try Ritz crackers because they mostly just crumble, and it wasn't likely she'd choke on them- we gave her one and she promtply stuffed the ENITRE thing into her mouth. Well tonight I was sitting here and happened to glance over to the groceries i'd just bought and solved my own problem- FRUITY PEBBLES!!!!! I dumped a handful on the high chair tray and she loves them! They are tiny enough that she can eat them without me worrying about her choking. Also, they're so thin that they turn to mush before she needs to chew them! It's so funny- she picks them up one tiny piece at a time and carefully puts them in her mouth! I will upload pictures as soon as my computer cooperates with my camera. (it's having a breakdown)
