Starting solids!

Nom nom :P 

So, I'm well aware that Rian is only 4 months and 1 week old, but he is a very VERY hungry little (not so little) baby! He has been getting 8oz every 2-3 hours during the day and sleeping 12 hours every night! yaaay!
The 8oz bottles so often was a big sign that Rian needed to start on solids! He also has been able to hold his head up on his own for a long time now and he has been showing a lot of interest in the food we have been eating with a few weeks now! :) That apparently is a sign that he is ready!

Yesterday I bought him Milupa Organic Baby Rice  He wont be on this for very long however, as I have heard from many sorces that it makes babies bloat up big time! (yucky!)
Well, he took to it like a duck to water! :) He loved it! I dont think I'll ever have a problem with Rian not wanting to eat though! He is a big grubber! Loves his bottles! :)
When giving him the rice, first I gave him half of his bottle (4oz) then a few teaspoons of the rice, followed by the rest of his bottle (3-4oz)! He was delighted with himself! :) I plan to give him a bit more tomorrow and more again the next day! As this was just a taster for him! And he was looking for a bottle 3.5 hours later! haha!
I have a book that contains a lot of first recipes for your baby called First Year Planner by Annabel Karmel (a great book for pregnancy and baby) and plan to get started on making those myself after Rian gets used to the whole eating situation! I want to stay away from the store ready made jars of baby food as I believe myself that homemade would be better for him!
