So even though today is supposed to be the beginning of a new allergen we’re doing one more try of the peanut allergen since Malina’s been eating only a little. Plus more exposure is good.
So today’s breakfast consisted of banana pancakes with peanut butter, watermelon, and bacon.
Malina hasn’t been acting up with the throwing so we gave her the whole plate. There was also less food incase she started throwing and I was on high alert for signs of destruction.
Malina was more focused on her food and went for the watermelon first.
She was enjoying the piece but it kept slipping from her grasp and she was getting frustrated. Then I had a good idea and got her one of her forks to use as a handle.
It was a great success as she was able to easily eat the watermelon and proceeded to enjoy her chunk of it for the next ten minutes.
When she’d eaten bites off of both pieces of her watermelon and discarded her fork she moved on to the pancakes.
She seemed to like them and ate three small bites before she was through.
So remember, even if baby wants to spend most of the meal eating one thing, you are doing great and you’ve got this!
