NEW Family blog regular Nicky G suggested that Parents feed the Twins finger foods like small pieces of carrot to get them to eat. They've recently begun to decline spoon and bottle feeding and over-enjoying puffs, cookies, and crackers, anything they can feed themselves.
Nicky suggested what seems obvious in hindsight, cut up regular food into pea sized pieces and let them feed themselves. Dad's a disciple of the school of lazy parenting and welcomed the idea.
Carrots worked very well.
The Parents will experiement with other foods in the coming days. But now they have another problem, what to do with all of this pureed food?
Actually that is not as hard as it sounds. While they might not appreciate Dad's pureed beef, cauliflower, carrot, potato, and asper-grass, he likes it and will make several meals for himself out of it.
Well, maybe not the potato, but everything else.
Now the NF Parents are accepting advice on how to keep the Twins sticky, food covered hands, out of their hair.
Grandma suggested buying lots of shampoo. But that ounce of prevention outweighs the pound of cure.
The easiest meal ( and Danielle's favorite ) is frozen peas. Yep, frozen! She loves them. I think it feels good on the gums :)
