Last Monday I gave in and decided to start Joshua on solid foods, they recommend waiting until babies are 6 months old, but I figured he was close enough! His first food adventure was with rice cereal. I initially made it with water, since he didn't seem to thrilled with it, I have been making it with breast milk since and he seems a bit better with it. I start with one tablespoon of cereal and then add enough milk to make it quite runny. I have finding that once he is about part way through then I can thicken it up a bit because he has gotten used to the taste but doesn't like the consistency, once I put a bit more cereal into the mix he seems much happier.
Here he is after his first taste, he was really unsure what to make of this new taste.
That is cute! We are trying to wait until the 6 month mark, but I so want to start now!! My freezer is stocked with so many fruit and veggies pureed, and I can't wait to use them!
