Finally…after several days of mixing various foods with rice, oat, or barley cereals, I finally got Nicky to eat well without any cereal! I mixed mangoes and butternut squash, two foods that he previously liked a lot, and the result was INCREDIBLE! He gobbled it right up, and I had run out of squash, so I gave him seconds of mangoes, and he finished that up, too.
It makes my heart happy, even if I end up covered in spew.
