Yet another "ready for solids?"
I know people post questions like this all the time, but...
The plan is to start Bug on solids at 6 months, which will happen in 3 and a half weeks. However I'm really beginning to wonder if it may not make sense to start a bit sooner. Why I wonder: 1. I gave her a index card to gum and drool on while I was filing yesterday, and she actually ate bits of it (proof was in her diaper this morning). 2. She's been interestedly watching us eat for a while now, but I'd say lately she's watching us avidly. Of course she reaches for lots of things, but I swear she's more interested in trying to grab what I'm eating than other things in my hands. 3. She's also pretty interested in drinking -- often if she's nursing and I grab my water bottle she pulls off to watch it and watch me drink it. 4. She's become more spit-uppy. She used to virtually never spit up, but lately does more. I read somewhere that indicates that they're over-stuffing themselves on milk to satisfy their bellies. DH and I both have environmental allergies (dust, pollen) and a slight tendency to asthma, but no family history of food allergies that I'm aware of. Part of me is reluctant to start before 6 months, but I was in the supermarket today looking at the baby food and rice cereal, thinking about how much fun it will be...
