Feeding Sage

I thought he was ready for his first taste of solid food!. He showed great interest whenever we were eating our meals. I was excited to buy the rice cereal. Plus he was 5 going on to 6 months in age.

Our first attempt was on April 10 after getting the O.K. from our family doctor. I had his baby bowl and spoon ready, multiple hand towels at hand and a bib just in case it turned into a really messy feeding session. It was messy but all because he willingly did not want to eat. He cried and fussed. He clenched his jaw when we put the spoon to his lips and turns his head away. I even added puréed banana to the cereal for some sweet taste but no luck either. All of our attempts so far have been met with pursed lips and frustrated cries...

I guess he has his own idea about feeding...still prefers to be breastfed only!
