For the first 12 months of Gray’s life I produced every
ounce of nutrition that boy had (other than IV nutrients and 15cc’s of formula
on day one). Gray had 100% breast milk and at 8 months when we started solid
food, I made every bite. I made the oatmeal, the squash, the chicken,
everything.
When Gray reached a year corrected (a year after his due
date) we had transitioned to cow’s milk, but Brian and I were making everything
else.
The last few weeks of life has been a bit crazy, and to be
honest Gray has been driving me a bit crazy in the food department. He does not
want to eat from a spoon at all! He only wants to feed himself. Which is not as
easy when he’s not able to eat everything, only has 4 teeth, and they don’t
even match up, and we have to be oh so careful about what he does eat.
So I’ve given up the good a bit, just a bit. And the past
little bit, Grayson has fallen in love with hotdogs. All white meat chicken hotdogs. But to be
honest it has lifted a bit of stress during mealtimes. So as much as I love
making all his food, I am so happy that once in a while I don’t have to fight
Gray to have him eat something.
I’m linking up with Jessi and Hayley today about giving up the good. Giving up on something for the greater good. Go check out the girls
stories and realizations.
Good for you mama!!! That's a long first year, keep up the good work
