AW: Rice Cereal [PIP]

quartz02 · January 2013

DD had her 4 month pedi appt today and he recommended we start rice cereal now. I was really surprised at how liquidy it was when I made it [1 tablespoon of rice cereal and 4 tablespoons of breast milk or formula if you want]. This made me more comfortable, as I was originally in the "wait for solids" camp.

I don't plan to rush into other solids yet but will stick with this soupy rice cereal for a while and then gradually thicken it.

I had planned to skip rice cereal in favor of oatmeal but the pedi recommended to wait until 5 mo for oatmeal or barley.

And now the pic...

She did really well for a first-timer! I think it was more of an exercise in getting used to eating from a spoon. It was funny to see the different ways she'd react- grab the spoon, lap at the spoon, suck on the spoon... as you can see a lot of it ended up on her bib or face. LOL!
