I decided that tonight was the night to begin feeding Rachel solid foods! I struggled with this. Do I wait until 6 months? Some things I read said to do breast milk exclusively for 6 months. Other info said to begin solids anytime between 4-6 mos. She's not sleeping through the night yet so that helped with my decision for sure! Last night, my Mom was holding her while she was eating. Every time my Mom would open her mouth to take a bite, Rachel would open her month and want a bite! That was enough for me! I figured she knows what food is and what to do with it. I can't NOT give her "real food" now! It would be like torture to eat in front of her!
I plan to make all of her baby food. Since it was a last minute thing, I was scrambling to find something to feed her. So, I mixed avocado with bananas. She has already had oatmeal cereal with bananas so I figured it was safe to add avocado to the mix. What a proud Mommy I was! She did wonderfully! But no more baby! And she even sits in a high chair now. My baby is growing up way to fast!! :(
