I was in NO WAY complaining, but wanted to ask him if we should possibly try giving her some cereal to help her increased daytime appetite.<\/p>\n<p>He recommended that we start putting some rice cereal in her bottles twice a day. We currently give her\u00a0 a teaspoon of cereal with some extra water in her bottle twice a day.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago, her appetite seemed to be back with a vengeance. I was at our doctor last week for a follow up on a few things, but he was away and some other doctor was filling in. She didn&#8217;t really want to talk about the current cereal intake of my daughter and instead was fixated on the fact that breastfeeding didn&#8217;t work out for us. A disastrous appointment that left me feeling crappy and full of guilt. I doubt she meant to cause my final feelings, but it happened. <strong>Lets move on shall we?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last Monday, I decided to give Missy Moo cereal from a bowl and with a spoon. An interesting attempt by us both! I did a lot of laughing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NzaBo2rYMI8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the following day I gave it another attempt in the morning.
