Introducing Solids...

Papa and I have been discussing whether to introduce solid foods to Leinna or not. She's been eating rice cereal at bedtime for almost three weeks now and so we thought she might be ready for something new. Most research recommends waiting until 6 months of age, but then the articles would also quote that some babies are ready at 4 months of age. Each article did mention key things to look for to see if your baby is ready, and it seemed that Leinna met these things. So, today I had planned to make some banana muffins and so I mashed a little extra banana. The pictures below document Leinna's first experience with bananas.

In goes the first taste...







Hmmm... not sure what to think



Okay- let me try it again



Maybe not!


We actually tried the bananas again later, and she took a few more bites than the first time, but was soon ready for a bottle. I'm not quite sure she's ready for solids just yet, but it was fun to introduce bananas to her today.
