Introducing Solids

Sadie is just about 5 & 1/2 months old now, so we decided to introduce her to rice cereal (by 6 months, supplementation is necessary as breast milk no longer provides all the iron that babies need).  It seemed she was ready for it, and as the video shows, she was very eager to eat from the spoon....daddy called her a "natural."  Overall, it was a success!....(although just a few tablespoons of milk takes forever to spoon feed!!!)






After a few days of cereal in the evening, I've noticed it does a great job at keeping Sadie's tummy full at night!  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that she is done for good with the 2 nighttime feedings, and down to just 1 feeding between 2-3am.  :)

  2. This is a big step for Sadie...eating her first solid food. She will sleep longer now. She is growing so fast. She is a cutie!
