Food from a spoon!

Oliver has been regularly waking up to feed five or six times a night for the last month!!! After trying as many solutions as I can think of, last week I gave in and he experienced a wonderful thing: food from a spoon!

Unfortunately there hasn't been a huge amount of improvement on the sleep front, but he is only having a few spoonfuls once a day, in the early evening. I will be introducing more in a week or so. Apparently the motto for weaning is "Food is fun!" and so far it is true... if not a little messy!
