Madeline is 18 weeks old now. Our pediatrician told us we could start her on solid foods. Taking the advice of Maddy's Aunt Missy, I purhased 2 different kinds of rice ceral to see what Maddy likes. Yesterday was our first go at rice cereal. I tried to get Maddy to eat the Organic kind. As you can see from the pictures, all she did was spit it right out. I tried putting just a little bit of cereal in her mouth at a time but each time, it came right back out.
Today was our second attempt. I gave her Gerber original rice cereal. This time was a little different. I put a little bit on the spoon and put it in her mouth. Maddy played with the spoon for a second with her tongue, rolled the cereal around ten spit it out! I could tell she was thinking she needed to do something with the cereal but just wasnt quite sure what.
We will try again in a few days.
How cute! Both Gabe and Bella wore more of the cereal than they ate the first few times. Lots of extra laundry! They both liked the Earth's Best Organic Cereal. We also used their baby food later on and made our own too. The homemade stuff is pretty easy when you get to that point. If you want, I can send you the name of the cookbook I used and the storage system we used so that we didn't have to make it every meal. Have fun! She's getting so big!
