We started feeding Cade rice cereal last week. Our plan has always been to breastfeed exclusively until Cade was 6 months old and then start him on solids so we figured being a week and a half early wasn't too bad! Cade has really been showing an interest in our food and using the spoon, all signs of being ready to eat so we also didn't want to pass up the opportunity while he was interested.
We decided to feed in the evenings because that is when my milk supply is the lowest. Cade also still wakes up around 4am for a feeding so we are hoping that feeding in the evenings will help him to sleep till about 6-7am!
Getting ready!
First taste
getting the hang of it
More! More!
YUMMY!!!
We had a little bit of a hard time finding the right consistency of rice cereal and breast milk during the first feeding but have worked that out since. Cade has really taken to the cereal so much so that we have even given him sweet potatoes a few times this week which he is just LOVING! We got to the doctor next week for Cade's 6 month check-up and so I am anxious to see what all advice our pedi has for us about feeding.
