Ick!

We finally decided to give Drew some rice cereal this weekend.  The doctor told us at his four month appointment that we could start introducing new foods if we wanted to, but after doing some research, and because Drew has been so easy so far, we decided to wait.  Drew had a few restless nights (he was still sleeping pretty good, but I don’t think he was sleeping as soundly as normal), so we decided that we should maybe introduce some new food.  The doctor recommended starting with rice cereal, so Saturday night, we picked some up at Target.

Sunday morning, at the time of his second bottle, we decided to give it a go.  I had no idea what rice cereal was, but as far as I could tell, it’s really just slightly thicker milk.  We mixed some up and put Drew in the Bumbo to give it a go.  And………………….........................................

 

He HATED it!  I’m sure it was just because it’s new and he wasn’t used to it, but I could tell he didn’t love it.

We gave him a second helping later in the day, and it didn’t go much better. His faces kill me!  They are so cute.  I can just see him thinking, what in the world are you doing to me mom.  This stuff is gross! 

 

We’re hoping that he continues to try it and maybe even start to like it in the coming days and weeks.  We have his six month appointment today, so we will get some more information from the doctor and figure out how we are supposed to go about this whole “new foods” thing.  We definitely feel like rookies, but I guess that’s how all new parents feel, right?!
