I first tried cereal a week ago, while on vacation - Logan cried and spit most of it out. He got some in his mouth, but the tongue reflex was really working. :) I decided to wait until we were in our own environment to try again.
I tried 2 nights ago and this time a little more got in, but again, he cried a little...so I gave him some bottle and then tried again, but to no avail. I didn't want to give up, but didn't want to push it especially since it wasn't 'recommended' for another couple weeks. But the last 2 nights he has woken up in the middle of the night to eat, which is very unlikely for him.
So I tried again tonight...voila! He was so happy. The first spoonfuls actually went down the hatch and not much leaked out the sides of his mouth. Then he actually opened his mouth and leaned forward to signal that he wanted more! I was so excited..and so was he! His legs were kicking like crazy. Sure some spoonfuls leaked out, but I expect that is bound to happen - even when he gets the full hang of it. So I think this will become part of our nightly routine.
What a big boy!
