Starting your child on solid foods seems simple. Mix a little breast milk or formula with some rice cereal in a thin consistency. Place on rubber tipped spoon. Place into baby's mouth. But that's where it all gets a little hairy.
Our son was not exactly receptive to the idea. It would hit his mouth and he'd push it out with his tongue. It would have been annoying if it weren't so funny to watch. This went on for a while. We actually gave up and put it off a week. Then when we started again, it wasn't much easier. He's slowly eased his way into it.
And to be completely honest, I only wrote this to post his picture. He's much, much better now. He doesn't fuss except when the spoon's not moving fast enough for his hunger. We went with the cereal a little bit thicker than was suggested. He likes to smack his gums and eat it that way. One more task tackled by the Super Parents.
