It was an epic failure. :)
Her doctor has been saying that she can start cereal ever since she was 3 months. I thought that was nuts, but this past Sunday she was 20 weeks old (yet not 5 months...time is so weird). And for some reason I really wanted to try it. She maybe consumed one small spoonful. The rest hit her bib, her clothes, or the table. :)
She preferred to just chew on the spoon. It was very cute, but very messy.
In the end, I think we will wait a few more weeks before we attempt it again. She may be a little more inclined to actually eat some of it then.
She definitely doesn't need any more extra calories. We got her checked yesterday (she has a pretty nasty cold) and she was 15lbs 15oz. Her doc said, like he does every time we see him, that he can't believe she is just on breastmilk.
On other notes, she is getting more onto a regular schedule. She has developed her own routine, wake up, eat, take an hour or so morning nap, awake for awhile, takes another 2ish hour nap in the late afternoon, is awake for awhile and then takes a short evening nap before one last feeding and then goes down from about 9:30ish pm to 7:00ish am. It is fabulous. The day is also filled with feedings every 3ish hours and a whole lot of diapers and play time.
Here are a few pics from our attempt at cereal the other night. :)
