Madeleine's First Food

The doctor told us at Mady's 2 month appt that we could begin giving her cereal whenever we wanted. I was not ready to do it and still am leary, but I gave her some today for the first time. I mixed it with a little apple juice. She loved it.


She is still eating right at every 2 hours during the day and sleeping all night. It seems by now (she will be 3 months tomorrow) she should be able to go a little longer than two hours between feedings. At two hours she starts screaming....no warning that it is coming, other than the fact it has been two hours! We will see how she does before we decide if we will continue feeding it to her.

She ate it off a spoon and did a great job. She would laugh after every bite, so about half of each bite would come out when she smiled. She picked up eating off the spoon rather quick and really seemed to enjoy it.
