Attempt #1- Solids

We'd wait for another couple of months, but she's waking up hungry in the middle of the night again, and the doc said that probably means she's ready. The first attempt was using formula at night, to make her nighttime meal a little more long-lasting. And it worked. We got about two weeks of 7-8 hour nights. Now we're doing 5 at best again. It could also be teething. Every time I look at her these days she's soaked her shirt with drool and is chewing on both hands. Anyone have suggestions on how to help her if she won't chew on teething toys?

But I digress... tonights experiment was 1 Tbsp. Rice Cereal mixed with 1.5 oz warm Mommy Milk. It did not go well.

It started with her chewing her hands.
She was in a good mood.

So we gave it a try.
She didn't know what to think.

She gave me the, "But why can't I just have a boob?" Look.

Her mood started to sour.

She was a mess, so we gave up.

It finished with her chewing her hands.
