For the last couple of weeks, at least, Porter has refused to eat his baby cereal! We tried everything to try and make him eat... adding different fruits and vegies, making it more runny, making it with juice, etc. Nothing seemed to work. At every meal, he would take maybe 2 bites and he was done. Most of the time he just closed his mouth and would turn his head, totally refusing to eat at all. We even bought different brands of rice and oatmeal baby cereal..but nothing seemed to help. During the night he started waking up about every 2-3 hours and would sometimes drink up to 3 bottles a night which let us know that he was STARVED!! We guessed that it was just because he was teething and his mouth hurt and so he didn't want to eat. We even called the pediatrician who suggested to just keep trying and start over on just the cereal without the vegies and fruit. FINALLY today I went to the store and found some baby cereal with yogurt for him to try and guess what? HE LOVED IT!!! He ate 2 bowls for breakfast and 2 bowls for dinner..YES! So hopefully this will fill him up and he will start sleeping through the nights again..poor kid!!

I'm so glad you found something that works! Ryan went through a phase where he wouldn't eat. It's so hard to deal with. He has been doing better with rice, meat, veggie, and lots of fruit. I don't know if it's good to do all at once, but he'll eat it. If we run into problems again, I'll have to try that yogurt stuff out! That's great!
Emily!!! Porter is adorable and I am so happy you found something he will eat. I will definitely be needing advice when Ben and I start having kids from someone who has been through it all! He is so cute Emily! Such a happy baby and you are doing such an excellent job. Love ya!
Cooper really likes that one too
