I had originally planned to wait until closer to 6 mos to start Leah on cereal, but I have a stash of frozen breastmilk that needs to be used before it expires, and she doesn't take a bottle. So... I figured I'd slowly start mixing it with cereal and see how she did. We tried it today for the first time. She didn't take much of it, but I think it was a success! I really had my doubts because the girls freaks out when you try to put ANYTHING in her mouth other than a boob (pacifier, teething toy, washcloth, finger etc.). She was cautious at first, but once she tasted that sweet milky goodness, she was ok with it!
And for fun, a stroll down memory lane...
Natalie's first cereal at *almost* 4 mos old
Erica's first cereal at *almost* 5 mos old
Graham's first cereal at *almost* 6 mos old
and Leah again, at 4 1/2 mos old
eta: I just realized after looking at these pics, that they were each in a different house!
