First Food

THESE days babies start eating their first foods between 4-6 months of age. There is no specific time to start, basically you look for signs from your child such as: beng able to sit assisted, good head control, loosing the tongue thrust reflex, showing interest in your food, waking to eat at night, etc.

Cannon only has a few of these but we decided to give him some cereal on Sunday night. Here are a few pictures.



His tongue thrust reflex is still very present. So I think he is not quite ready. He did enjoy slurping the milky, cereal soup off the spoon.

Cereal is fun! If you feed him a little each day, he'll be a pro in no time and it won't be half the mess! :o)
