So, it turns out I have one baby that didn't want a thing to go in her mouth (Carli) and for this reason didn't even attempt to try to eat cereal or fruits until well into her 6th month and even then, she wasn't too happy with a spoon in her mouth. Ava on the other hand, loves to watch people eat and loves to put things in her mouth. So, last week we gave cereal a shot - secretly hoping it would help with the hourly wakings at night. Didn't so much help there, but found out Ava loves to eat! :) She was champ, no bib needed as she ate it all the first time around!
A few days later, we figured out that the cereal caused Ava to get stopped up - so upon the advice of the doc we switched to just doing fruits. Not sure why, but I could swear the doc told me to use applesauce, but after comments from other ppl and reading online apparently applesauce causes constipation too. Poor baby - so on to prunes and peaches!!
Prunes do require a bib as she has discovered blowing out when we put a spoon in front of her mouth makes stuff fly off of the spoon and amuses her!
