First Foods

We tried her First foods this week and she likes them... She started with Bananas and she had a hard time keeping them in her mouth....

Yeah, they have a lot of trouble eating solids that young. They still have the tounge thrusting reflex that helps with nursing. Back in the old days they recommended rice cereal as young as 6 weeks. Now they recommend waiting until 5-6 months old.Try super watered down rice cereal. Ronan didn't try rice cereal until five months. Sometimes starting solids too early can increase the chances of developing certain allergies. Ask the ol' pediatrician. Have fun with that beautiful baby!
You both are so cute.

you can even make rice cereal and then mix the bananas with it so it has some flavor and its so so strong for them. Then they are just not eating it straight.
