I have been preparing baby food for when Av starts eating more than cereal. So far she has one serving of rice cereal in the morning and we attend the breastfeeding "introducing solids" class next wed. So far I have pureed Strawberries, pears, apples, carrots and sweet potatos. I boiled them to soften, purreed, put in ice cube trays, froze them and then pop them out and put in individual bags in the freezer with dates. I am hoping to get a good supply ready for when she starts to eat. We are also going to try a bit of baby led weaning but I want to do purees as well to ensure she gets enough :)
We also had Avarie's ears pierced this past weekend. I know that it is a subject of debate as of course their are those who agree and those who don't. I had my ears done at 4 months so had first had experience as well as checked with my family Dr who advised to go ahead once she had her first two sets of needles to prevent infection. We also required that the hair dresser we took her too, used gloves, had two women do at the same time, 14k baby studs with backs that lock in place and researched proper cleaning of them. We were told to use lubricant (KY) as peroxides/rubbing alcohol will cause ear to dry out. Our girl was sa trooper and was more upset about me holding her still. Also for those of you who know our dragonfly story, one of the women was wearing a dragonfly neclace with geen (may) birthstones <3
Here are a few photos from the past week:
