Rice Cereal

We started Swe-Cha on his first solid food today and on the menu was Earth's best whole grain rice cereal (organic) mixed in with a little bit of breastmilk.

We've been preparing for this big day for a while now, I wanted to have everything on hand when we start on our first solids:

- high chair - we got a Fisher Price healthy care high chair from Babies R Us

- Earth's best organic whole grain rice cereal

- Munchkin infant spoons (the ones that change color if the food is too hot)

- a ramekin that we have at home (hubby sterilized this too)

Swe-cha loved his cereal, we started with around 2 teaspoon of cereal mixed in with 0.5 oz of breastmilk. He looked like he still wanted more when we were done but I didn't want to give him too much on his first day.

Also, Mommy is very thankful that adding the solids to his daily diet does not seem to have diminished his milk intake - in fact, he is drinking a few more ounces per day more than he used to. Yay!
