So I tried giving Laila rice cereal for the first time today! My husband got the camera ready, we were both so excited, and then ... she cried! I mean, she really cried. So, that didn't work out. I had fed her some breast milk not that long before, and she was a bit tired, so we were thinking that perhaps that was why she wasn't into it. So, after her nap we thought we would try again. Nope. She did immediately fall back to sleep again, so perhaps she was just tired ... but perhaps being so upset about getting fed the cereal is what made her tired. Since there is no way to know, I'm going to take it as a sign that Laila just isn't ready for rice cereal yet.
The other reason she might not be that into it is that she is still a bit sick. She slept until 10am and then woke up grumpy, which isn't her normal way at all. It is not 2:40 and she is on her third nap of the day (though the first one was only about 20 minutes long)... I was thinking that maybe it was because we are now starting to ween her off of being swaddled, but she is still stuffed up and has a little cough, so I'm thinking that she might just be feeling crappy and is not wanting to deal with anything new. I am going to wait until she is all cleared up and sleeping well to try again, and hopefully she will actually enjoy it then!
