[blparent] new babies

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Anjelina.  Spoon feeding is a real challenge.  Since the main thing at 
this early stage is experience for Kloei with taste and texture, you might 
try just dipping her fingers in fruit or cereal and letting her put them in 
her mouth.  Also, it helps if you thicken the fruit a little with cereal, 
just enough so it stays on the spoon.

Good luck!
Jo Elizabeth
