I wanted to start feeding Jeralyn solids when she was 6 months, but there were certain hints that made me wonder if she was ready for the bowl & spoon. First, we noticed her watching us eat, like she was real curious. And when we would playfully put a spoon or cup toward her mouth, she would open wide. It's like she knew! I also felt that she was needing more, so we started solids a couple of weeks shy of 5 months. I asked the pediatrician about solids and she said that it varies for each child. Then she told us that she knows of a family who has fed moose heart to a baby the same age as Jeralyn. Whoa!
She did super great with the first feeding! I had read in some books that they might not "get it" right away and it might take a long time for the first feeding. I also read that they might not be interested, but to keep trying. But not this baby! She. was. ready!!
Of course because it was so liquidity, she had a pretty messy face!
We were having fun!
I think she had a little spitting action in this one. Haha!
So far she's had baby cereal, carrots, pears, and prunes. I am making the baby food, which I enjoy! Next food to try is avocado!
