Milestone ahead! Maggie's had her first solid food. Well, "solid" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Rice cereal made with liberal amounts of breast milk is hardly chewing food, but enough so to put on a spoon. We started with just a half teaspoon of cereal, and look -- we don't even need Maggie to make a mess of things!
First bites were pretty darned successful. I'm sure it doesn't taste radically different from her regular meals. Just the spoon takes a bit of getting used to.
She didn't need a bath afterwards, and neither did we! Success!
Now we're having a teeny bowl of cereal every morning, and each day she improves her eye-tongue coordination. What a big girl! Next step: squash.
