I’ve been back and forth between when to give my little girl solid food. I know most research and people say to wait until 4 months but if they are able to hold their head up, act interested in food and such then start. Well, we are almost at 16 weeks (4 months on November 8th). Recently when I feed myself yogurt in the morning, she is all about my spoon coming to my mouth. Today was the day I decided to give it a shot!

  
I told myself if she didn’t seem interested then I’d wait a few days and I’d try again. As you can see, she loved it! She would grab my hand to bring it closer to her mouth. We had so much fun trying rice cereal. I gave her 1/2 tbsp of rice cereal and about 2 oz of breast milk (warmed). I love this stage where she is so interactive and is interested in the world around her. However, I’m not ready for her to get even bigger!

She ate all of her cereal and I could have probably given her more! =)

Stay tuned for making our own baby food next…
