Today we started feeding Katie solids. (She is almost 5 months old. With Mike we started solids at 4 months.) She has shown a interest in eating (she tilts her head up at you when you eat or drink) recently, so we decided to give it a try.
We started with 1 tablespoon of whole grain rice cereal mixed with 1.5 tablespoons of breast milk. She downed it like a champ. Initially we leaned her back when feeding to help her swallow but noticed that she was trying to sit up, so now we have her fully upright and she will still lean forward to get the food into her mouth as soon as possible. Of course, half of it comes right back out of her mouth, but we are making progress!
