Well, after months of telling my family that I am not gonna give Lennon solids until she's after 6 months, I have given in. She had been showing signs of wanting to eat [mainly grabbing anything I was eating and shoving it into her mouth], so I thought WTH and decided to go with it. I mixed 2 tbs of Sweet Potato [Beech Nut brand, just sweet potatoes and water] with some DHA fortified Rice Cereal mixed with Formula and loaded it up in our Boon Squirt, strapped her into the highchair and prepared for the mess of my life!
Most of it ended up in her mouth, but the rest ended up on her clothes, me, the highchair, the floor, and Emma [our dog]. Lennon chowed down and is now sleeping in a food coma in her swing. I'm not gonna feed her everyday, just sometimes. Until she's almost 7 months, then maybe daily. We'll see.
I feel as a mother sometimes you just know what is right for your baby.
