The first time I started Jayna on rice cereal at dinnertime, I was taken aback by her reaction. Joash was very eager to eat when I begun feeding him back then so I wasn't expecting Jayna's response.
She cried!
I tried 4 times and each time the spoon got close to her mouth, she protested violently. I gave up after that, not wanting to traumatize her.
Thus, for the next few days, I tried giving her very little cereal and let her chew on the spoon for a while whenever she's in a good mood throughout the day so as to get her used to it. Thankfully, after a week, she is now able to eat about 2 tablespoon of cereal before she gets upset. I hope that as time goes by, she'll come to love eating as much as her big brother. :)
