Solids

At Kayden's 4 month appointment the pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start solid foods. He wanted us to start with rice cereal and then move to orange vegetables then yellow, then green veggies before starting fruits. I am planning on making Kayden's baby food so I was really excited that we got the go ahead to start solids so that I could start making baby food! We still waited a couple weeks before starting the cereal.

About 2 weeks ago we decided to try giving Kayden rice cereal from a spoon. We had been putting just a little bit in his bottle a week before that. The cereal from a spoon didn't work out too well for us. Kayden just kept making an awful face and spitting it right back out. We tried several times but it was clear he was not going to eat it.






We tried it again the next night, but the same thing happened. I have had people suggest trying to mix bananas into it so we may do that this weekend. I still think we are going to wait a little bit to start the full out baby food though. Kayden turns 5 months this week so we will probably wait a couple more weeks and start the veggies. Hopefully he will like those!! :)
