Eating Baby Food


We have been trying to get Julia to eat baby food (or as books refer to it as solids) since 3 ½ months. We first started with cereal, then sweet potatoes, pears. She didn’t want to take anything in her mouth she would just spit it out. So we would try every couple of weeks and finally a couple of days before she turned 5 months she just took off. Our first clue that she was ready was that we were having problem with her sleeping. For 2 days she would be up and down all night long. I called the pediatrician and they said to give her breakfast, lunch and dinner. So that’s what we did, and for the past two days she has been sleeping well again. For breakfast she gets cereal with a fruit, for lunch she gets a fruit and a vegetable and then for dinner she gets a meat and a vegetable, and she also gets cereal in her night time bottle. She really likes sweet potatoes!!!
