Bailey is 4 months old now. She is able to start taking solid foods. We are starting with single grain rice cereal, like most parents seem to do. We mix a little with each bottle now to thicken it up (hopefully to slow down the "squirts"), and we give her some by spoon. The pictures are of her first time with thickened rice cereal from a spoon. She seemed really into it but also a bit confused. Most of it came back out as soon as I dished it in. And a lot of it ended up on her bib and hands. I think that she got 2 or 3 swallows down. It was funny when she did swallow, because she would get a surprised look on her face as if she was thinking, "what did I just swallow?" This very new to her, but she is taking it in stride. Hopefully this will keep her little belly full longer so that she can space out her feedings from every 2 hours during the day, and also allow her to sleep through the night. So far so good. Last night she slept for a full 8 hours, then another 2 after a bottle! That was great!
