We've been trying to decide when to start Rhett on solids for a few weeks now. I kept feeling "not quite ready" but when we were slicing some avocado for pizza recently, we couldn't resist giving him a little taste. Avocado is one of the best first foods for baby. So we mashed it up, mixed it with a little milk to make it tastes familiar and went to town.
Rhett really seemed to enjoy the flavor and having it in his mouth. He didn't quite know what to do with it and it seemed to me that he still had some tongue-thrush reflex going on. This is supposed to be one of the signs that babies aren't quite ready for solids yet, so we've decided to hold off a little while in making purees a regular part of Rhett's diet. It breaks my heart to continue to exclusively pump, but I want to wait until we're really sure that he's ready before we start. We'll be starting close to six months/when he can sit up a little better.
He's cute with the green goop all over his face though, huh?
