First Solid Food

Sixth month is the right time to introduce solid food to babies. However, according to Mikhaila's pediatrician, there has been a study that solid food can already be introduced as early as the 4th month.

My baby has always been overweight. Her weight when she was a month old was equivalent to a 6 month old. Whenever she sees someone eating, she'll look intensely at the food as if she wants you to feed her.

I have always been excited to feed her solid food, so the day after her 4th birthmonthday, I bought for her these...

There were so many choices, but since her bottles and sterilizer are Pigeon, I decided to stick to the same brand for her first meal set. However, for the bowl, I wanted something stackable and can be sealed so I chose Evenflo. 

Now, its time to make her some delicious food. =)

Taddaaa.. Mikhaila's first solid food is mashed banana with milk. There is so many things you can do with bananas and this one is the simplest. 

At first, Khaila was eating as if she was sucking her bottle. So cute!!! She loved the taste of the banana, and kept smiling everytime I feed her. After some time, she got used to the spoon. Every time I put the spoon into her mouth, she would bite it, taking her time to get all the banana, and when she was done, she released the spoon and started chewing. She's such a fast learner.

Look how bloated and satisfied she was...

Before introducing solid food to your baby, you might want to do some research first. Remember, no babies are alike. 

I visit this site to know more about the type of food I can introduce to Khaila whenever she reaches a particular stage.  As a new mom, it really pays to read, there is so many things to learn. I learned the four day rule in introducing solid to Khaila.  Of course, whatever you learned through reading, it is advisable to consult your baby's Pediatrician about it, they know better.
