Solids trials and tribulations

I nursed her for five minutes first thing this morning, and then I tried feeding her a tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with four tablespoons of warm breastmilk, as the box instructs. I put her in her Bumbo seat at the dining room table and put a bib on her. Her daddy came and ate his own cereal with us, which I think was good because then she saw how this was supposed to work. I even had A feed me a couple of bites of Bryleigh’s cereal to see if that would help. Not so much. She still kept spitting it out. After about 20 minutes, she was starting to get upset and was turning her face away, so we stopped. I nursed her. Her teachers at daycare want to try. I can tell that they think that they will be able to get her to eat it, but they also showed me how thick they want to make the cereal, but I’d rather follow the instructions first!
