Waving the white flag.......

...........on solids for awhile. Joshua acts as if we are torturing him just by sitting him in the highchair. I am getting so frustrated and I know that our attitude can directly affect how our babies approach eating. So after talking with the pedi we are throwing up the white flag for two weeks. Joshua will sit in the high chair only if he doesn't fuss but we won't try to feed him. We got some mesh feeders that we can fill with goodies & put on his tray but we will let him decide if he wants to try them. No pushing from us & no frustration if he chooses to ignore them.

Sleep has improved dramatically. He goes 5-6 hours before getting up for a feeding now. Next step is to get him to get himself back to sleep after a feeding without waking up his brother. One battle at a time, right?
