Today Amanda had her first official taste of solid food. It was just some rice cereal mixed with mommy’s milk, but she seemed to enjoy it. At first she screwed up her little face at the strange texture, then looked somewhat quizzical, and finally smiled and waved her arms as we offered her more. I’ve been meaning to do it for weeks, but I didn’t want Dave to miss it, so I waited until a weekend when we could get pictures and video like we did with Eva. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively for at least 6 months before introducing solids. Eva started eating solids at 5 months because she hit a growth spurt that made her so hungry, but with Amanda, it just worked out better to wait.
