Feeding a baby cereal is just a whole different ball park when you have a preemie child

Well today Nathan's speech therapist gave the clear to introduce cereal. I am one nervous momma. I don't want him to aspirateis food or choke. He already has a lot of saliva he chokes on anyway I just don't want to add another factor. We'll we tried the cereal, and he was so unsure about it! But what do expect when he had a tube down his mouth for three months when he was first born; it prolly is scary for him. The pictures say it all :) We will be trying the cereal at least once a day.
