Hi ladies!
I'm a bit confused with starting solids. So I started LO on solids this weekend, starting with rice cereal. I did 1 tbsp of cereal with 5 tbsp of breast milk, but it seemed too soupy? Is that right? How did you feed LO? She likes to grab the spoon (even if I give her one to play with), and likes to make a mess, cereal/milk all over her hands...everywhere lol
Re: Rice cereal consistency
When we started I made it pretty runny, then went to sort of a 'yogurt' consistancy, & now go between the 'yogurt' consistancy & a 'pudding' consistancy. -- I think you can sort of mix it however you think is best for your LO. If you found it too runny the first time just slowly reduce the amount of liquid you added for the next time.
HTH
Thanks! This whole solids thing is a whole new world lol
We started off very runny and worked our way up. Now I make it so that it's just thick enough to stick to the spoon.
