So last week we started eating cereal from a spoon. We have been giving
him cereal in his bottle since he was about 3 months old because I felt
like he needed more. Plus it helped him sleep through the night!! A
few nights before we started cereal I was putting him in his highchair
to get used to sitting in it. I give him spoons to play with but they
usually end up in the floor. I mixed a few tablespoons of cereal with
some of my breastmilk. He did pretty well for his first time and he
seems to enjoy getting messy. He mostly wanted to just put his hands in
his mouth but he finally got the hint that if he took them out of his
mouth, he got more food. I fixed him cereal every night and made it
thicker every night. We got him a sippy cup for Easter so we put water
in it and give that to him when he eats. After, I either give him the
bottle or nurse him to top him off. Next week we are starting bananas!
