It's two weeks until baby James six month birthday, and today we gave him his first taste of solid food. And none too early - the babe is no longer sleeping sweetly through the night, seemed a bit more irritable than normal, and had been trying to reach for all my food.
I wanted to start with one of the lovely (relatively) looking veggie purees, but hubby insisted that we follow the common advice and start him on baby rice. There was one complication. The rice should be either mixed with formula, which he has yet to taste, or breast milk. I'm still enjoying breast feeding, but am utterly sick of ineffectual pumping, and couldn't manage to get any out after a feeding. So, we used water.
The resulting paste looked disgusting, but baby James adored it, and continually reached for more. He has entered the world of foodies! And if he loves this paste like substance, think how he'll react to pad thai?
