Ingrid’s taken to eating (as opposed to drinking milk) like a duck to water. It’s as if this is what she had been looking forward to all her life. We started last weekend with one meal a day (the afternoon meal), but this Friday she was visibly disappointed when she wasn’t offered “real food” for the late-morning meal so we switched that one to solids as well.

She likes cauliflower and parsnip well enough, accepts small amounts of potato and broccoli but isn’t particularly fond of them, and adores carrots, apples and banana. Her mouth opens wide like the beak of a hungry little bird and if I’m too slow for her taste she starts chasing the spoon with her head. Definitely not a food refuser.
