I'm About to Go Boobnanas
So, I tried the boobnanas.
The faces were not as incredibly horrible yet deliciously hilarious as the po-tit-toes. And the boobnanas actually went down. For about 23 minutes.
And then they came up. After bouts of screaming, whining, and "hold me or I will die" shrieks.
I'm thinking I'm just going to lay off the food for a bit and focus on why he doesn't like to eat during the day.
Let me rephrase.
Why he doesn't like to eat except when I'm putting him down for a nap or after he's cried for a bit or when I win the lottery.
Right.
Seriously, a few days in a row we had nice happy eating during the day for naps. I've been packing a bottle and breastmilk for when I'm out since he refuses to nurse in any other position but laying down and as you might remember (or can imagine), that just looks ridiculous at the mall. I already think it's bad when people sit in those "massage" chairs that they try to charge you a dollar to use.
Ew.
So, while I tend to have no shame, I won't be laying down at Macy's on their beds trying to breastfeed my son. Although, that would make an interesting news article.
Hmmmm...
Levi cant keep anything down unless it is mixed with rice

Man, does that ever bring back memories! From the time she was three months up until six months, Cara would REFUSE to nurse in any other position than lying on the floor.
I can totally understand where you're coming from.
We dove right into the people food over here too and she eats like a champ. The first food that she really went crazy for was "baby guacamole" (ripe squished avocado, dash of garlic powder, dash of onion powder, pinch of salt and enough boob juice to get the consistency right). You might give it a try...couldn't hurt.

I see Dawn got to it first, but I had the same suggestion. My Pediatrician didn't have a problem with us starting rice cereal early, but she told us to wait on the fruits and veggies in case they had sensitive tummys.
They both LOVED the rice cereal and kept it down.
Good Luck!

Well, he has some opinions on food, huh?
A bed in Macy's. Now that would be something to talk about!

I'd still suggest starting off smaller with rice cereal and boobjuice. :)
I can just imagine the Macy's manager asking you to LEAVE THE STORE not because you're nursing your son, but because you've both fallen asleep LOL
