I had planned on starting Lily on cereal around 6 months (even though we started the twins at 4 months), but this past week she's been looking like she's wanted a bit more (she's 5-1/2 so she's close to 6 months :-). So, yesterday I gave her a bit of rice cereal. I don't think she ate much, she doesn't really know how to yet. Her tongue pushed most of it out of her mouth, but she was very curious about this new stuff in her mouth. It doesn't appear that she has the texture issues that Abby had (at least yet :-). And I'm hoping she won't have the same issues to new stuff that Jake had (he would revolt and stop eating all together every time we tried something new, the second time we'd try something though he usually did great).
However, I think this time around I'm not going to push baby food like I did the twins. They did really good on food and since they were on formula they needed the extra nutrients, but since I'm BFing Lily, I'm just going to give it to her every now and then when she wants it and not worry about trying to get in 3 square meals every day. Who needs that!
