Our pediatrician gave us the okay to start Eleanor on solids when we saw him for her four month check-up so that weekend we started her on rice cereal. I tried to feed her first, with little success. She didn’t seem to care much for it.
Josh tried next and was slightly more successful.
In all she ended up with much more cereal on her face and bib than she did in her stomach.
Most spoonfuls went in the mouth, but were immediately spit back out again.
Since then she has had one meal a day of rice cereal. She has been doing much better with it and at the last few meals she has been opening wide for the spoon and spitting very little back out. We are going to add a second meal a day of rice cereal next week, and then start her on veggies a few weeks after that.
