Starting Solids

The Food Journey Begins

I eat my cereal without milk every morning. It's always one of my go-to fun facts for those "One interesting thing about me is.." icebreaker games bosses make you do in meetings. When I tell people this, they're either 100% in agreement or they're borderline offended.

There's only one way to eat cereal and it's WITH milk! 

For me, it's all about that CRUNCH you just don't get with soggy Cheerios.  Jam it packed with fruit or chocolate chips, but leave that milk in the fridge. Not to mention, dry cereal is there for you to enjoy after sitting on the kitchen table for hours while you feed, change, and enjoy your baby. Basically, it's a mommy friendly food choice.

All this to say it makes me wonder what kind of eater my baby will be. Will she explore new flavors or stick only to the classics? Will she prefer a crunch or a squish? Will she invent her own way of eating things?

Here we are at the start of month four, and my pediatrician has officially recommended introducing solids.

I am a mix of emotions.
