First Solids

Gianna got the go ahead to eat her first solids at her appointment on Friday. Dr. Rocco said she's getting enough formula so we could try the solids. She's also hopeful that doing them now will help with Gianna's reflux. She offered to do medication again if we wanted. Last time she told me they try to avoid it now because there's research that children who take the reflux meds develop more upper respiratory problems. With my history of upper respiratory problems and allergies I felt like we didn't need to deal Gianna another strike. Dr. Rocco was supportive either way and thought doing the solids may help her anyway. This time we started Gianna on oatmeal. Apparently that has changed since Ava got her first solids of rice. She ate it like a champ with very little spitting. She also got to debut her big girl highchair. I think she liked sitting in that too!
