my lil guy watches me eat & tonight he started whining like he wanted a bite! he was making what I guess is his chewing face and sticking his lips forward like kisses ,,, so I gave him BM from a spoon...
my dr says to wait for cereal unless he were eating like 40 oz of BM... but he takes 6 6 oz bottles a day & nurses 2x at night... so I'm not quite sure but I guess he might be up to 40... don't know why that matters,,,
btw, he's 28 inches & 18 lbs! big eater since day 1 !
Re: 4 month old wants to eat ,,,, I think !
My DS eats veggies and rice mixed together with formula in it to make it more of a pureed texture so he doesn't choke. He's had sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, peas, pumpkin, bananas, pears, and carrots.
He ate plain cereal for only about a week (once a day) before I went on to sweet potatoes. He loves eating :-D
I may buy some yams tomorrow to make them for him.
