Aidan is almost 5 months old--2 days away. We're not starting solids until he is at least 6 mos, but he is REALLY into mimicking us at meal times. I'm not going to be able to hold him while I eat much longer, because he is pulling food off my plate and trying to grab it off my fork every time I take a bite. I was eating a taco a couple of days ago, and I kept getting sauce on my fingers. Pardon the bad manners, but I would lick the sauce off, then Aidan would grab my fingers, lick them, and smile. He was so proud of himself
. His real obsession is with glasses of drink. He'll pull the glass to his mouth (while I'm holding it for him) and lick the rim. Yesterday, I expressed about a quarter of an ounce of breastmilk into a glass and let him have a sip. I seriously think it made his day.
Here's my question. Do you think it's time for a sippy cup (filled with breastmilk, of course)? He's so interested in what's going on at meal time that I feel bad just holding everything out of his reach. At the same time, I don't want to do anything that will interfere with breastfeeding right now, as he's EBF. What do you think?
