Today Alex is 4 months old. After talking to her pediatrician we decided to offer her rice cereal on her 4-month birthday. She had been watching us eat and mimicking us with her little mouth. Apparently that is one of the signs baby is ready to eat solids, they are also supposed to have doubled their birth-weight and be able to sit up with assistance. She has accomplished all of the above.
At first she was frustrated because she was hungry and her hunger wasn't being satisfied quick enough. So I offered her a bottle of breast milk and continued with the cereal. She made a mess but I think she enjoyed it. Her doctor said solid foods could cause constipation, here's hoping her bowels keep moving or we're in for a long night.
