First Cereal Feeding

We got the okay and big push from the pediatrician to start cereal.  When I told the pediatrician how much he ate on a daily basis, her eyes got wide, and she said he really needed to start cereal.  I was more than happy to start him on cereal, because I've heard babies sleep longer once they start solids...  I am all for that.

Yesterday evening we had our first go at it.  Click here to see a video of his very first bites of cereal.  

He doesn't seem to like the taste of the cereal.  I haven't tasted it myself, but Jason said it smelled like urine.  Poor Huxley.  

I was surprised to see how well he did eating.  He didn't push the spoon out with his tongue, although he did push most of the cereal out.  Today he even made nasty faces after pushing the cereal out.  He also does a good job of opening his mouth for the spoon.  

Hopefully tomorrow the cereal will taste better, but probably not.

Christa-
Try putting applesauce or other baby fruits in the cereal. My nephews really liked the cereal that way.
