We started noticing (at 4:00 in the morning) that maybe Jack was not getting enough to eat each day. We consulted the doctor and she suggested starting him on rice cereal. We had already planned to do it when he was five and a half months, so we are starting it just a little early. The first time I made it I followed the difections on the box. BIG mistake! It was way too soupy and Jack hated it. He cried and screamed while I tried to feed it to him.
Today I tried again and ignored the directions. By the time I was done it was probably a little like watery applesauce. He was a little timid at first but then really started chowing down and opening his mouth each time he saw the spoon coming towards him. And of course, anything that gets near Jack's mouth has to be chewed on so he enjoyed chomping a bit on the spoon each time too. All in all I would say it was a successful adventure in babyland.
