First food

I agonized over what to do about Elsie's constipation issue. Changing formula brands actually worked but would have doubled the cost of feeding our youngest (from 70$/month to 140$. Insane!). So I introduced some solids instead. She actually did really well for such a young eater.  Here she is getting prunes for her 'first' feeding (we had tried earlier in the day but she was too cranky).

I decided to continue to roll with the solids once we got home. In addition to prunes she is getting sweet potatoes and applesauce (from Grandma B's apple tree!). Is it weird that I actually like making baby food?! Elsie is a great eater. I can see what Sharon said about her boys being 'vigirous' nursers.  Miss Elsie takes after her daddy!
