They say there are certain cues for when your baby is ready to try solid foods. He may try to grab your food or watch you intently as you eat. Since Gunner was sort of showing these signs, we thought we'd give rice cereal a try.
A couple of things to note: Rice cereal does not mean Rice Krispies. It sort of looks like instant mashed potato flakes. And "solid" foods is pretty misleading. You are supposed to add formula until it becomes a soupy consistency.
Anyway, we tried to give it to G. He didn't really know what to do with it, so he sort of pushed it out of his mouth. Dr. Nash said he might do that. I think he managed to get a little bit of it down, but we'll just have to keep trying until he gets it. Seems like he may not be totally ready yet. But we're sure it will be pretty soon!
