Feeding Solids

Liam had his first taste of solid food last night starting with rice cereal. I was pleasantly suprised that he didn't spit the food back out at me, instead settling for a dirty look before swolling. He ate about 15 to 20 bites before I saw signs that he was tired and done. I fed him again around 11 am this morning. He took about the same amount that he took last night and still giving me dirty looks. Tonight I tried again. He only made it through 10 to 15 bites before he became severely aggitated and started yelling at me. I also noticed tonight that he wasn't immediately swollowing the food. He just held it in his mouth while he jabbered for awhile before swolling, but eventually did swollow. It seems like he is already starting to regress. I could feel the dissapointment in myself and the failure that I was doing something wrong. I know that it is entirely stupid for me to be feeling this way since these CDH babies just have these issues. No one know exactly why they refuse to eat or have difficulties or if they do I haven't been privy of the answers. I know I just need to keep trying and not give up. Liam will do better as long as I keep trying but if I give up now he'll never have a chance to prove himself and he he deserves the chance. My love for him hasn't lessoned, if anything my love only grows with every challenge we face. This is an amazing journey we have found ourselves on.
