I had been getting a lot of pressure to start Rat_boy on solids the day he turned 4months old and even before. Just because he was such a big boy born everyone I guess assumed I wouldn't be able to keep up breastfeeding him....Well news for them, I did and I do think I could possibly keep him fully exclusively breastfed for another month and a bit until he is 6months old. But I thought I'd just see what he did if I put a spoon infront of him...well he grabbed the spoong from me and stuck it in his mouth the looked at me as is to say ....UMMMMMM something is missing!
So i tried some rice cereal and he seemed to like it. Each day for the last week he's had just a little bit, like 2 teaspoons of cereal with either breastmilk or water just once a day. And in the last 3 days he's tried banana and pumpkin (not together) in his little mesh food feeder thingy. Basically it's a little mesh baggy thing you put food in and they can chew and suck and get the flavour and the juices without worrying about choking. THIS HE LURVES!
I'm trying to get a bit organised and doing up some food now so that once he is well and truly eating I'm prepared. So I've been boiling, pureeing and freezing. I use ice cube trays for portions, cover with a plastic bag and pop in freezer once frozen I then pop out the little ice cubes into ziplock bags.
Right so I've done the normal, pumpkin, apple, pear. What else to do, it's been so long I can't remember. I'm thinking some peas, carrot maybe even some zucchini and squash. It's no big deal if he doesn't like it, whatever purees he doesn't like I'll use the fronzen cubes to add to cooking.
I'm hoping it might be good for Rat_girl also, hoping she might want to try what he's trying and perhaps eat a little bit more...wishful thinking realy!
