Starting Solids

Euen's pedia gave us a go signal to start her on solids. I actually want to start on the fourth month, while Denden want to start on the sixth month. So we both compromised and set it on her fifth month. But when we went for her check-up, it was the pedia who said that we could start giving her solids if we want. Yey! :)

My bestfriend's recommendation is to start her on rice cereals for two weeks, mixing with water or breastmilk. First serving is just a tablespoon, increasing the serving gradually. We brought the rice cereal from Healthy Options, it was single grain, brown rice cereal. 

We made sure that she is hungry when we gave her the first spoon and she liked it! Funny at first she sucked the spoon as if she's breastfeeding. After more spoons, she learned to swallow a little. Success!
