spoon feeding- Is there some sort of trick to it?
My DD is 4 1/2 mts old and the Dr. said to start feeding her the rice cereal with a spoon, not in a bottle. We have been trying and she won't take it. Any suggestions? Did this happen to anyone else?
TIA!

It is tough in the beginning. What we found with Sydney was that we couldnt try it if she was hungry. We'd have to give her the bottle and then maybe wait an hour or so and then try. She would only really take a teaspoon or so and most wound up on her face or her bib but eventually she got it. She also likes when she can hold a spoon herself. I also would let her put some on her fingers and then she would bring her fingers to her mouth to taste it.

Give her the spoon so that she can familiarize herself with it (she'll play with it but it's okay).. it takes some practice. Good luck!

Did you try giving her a spoon? I would give them a spoon & then have my own spoon and then choo-choo train or fly the food in.
