Macey eating brown rice cereal for the first time!






So we decided to start feeding Macey "real" food at 6 months, and start with avocado...but then we were also afraid she would be disgusted and not want to eat again so then we decided to do rice cereal for the first week because it's more like breast milk and she wouldn't be shocked by it! So almost 6 months old Macey got to eat some made by baby bullet blender brown rice mixed with breast milk yay! She loved it :) There was debate at first about how long we should wait to give her food because Macey's cousin who is the same age started at around 4 months but im SO happy we waited because it seemed like she was a lot more eager and wanting it rather than making her eat it because "you're old enough now". We could both tell she felt like a big girl, she was very excited and happy. I'm also glad we got a baby bullet blender! It ground up the rice then we had to put it in a pot of water to boil then and cook it then we added about one spoon full of rice to 1/2 ounce of breast milk! It was really easy and i know how much better it is than store bought baby food. Now we are excited to give her avocados next week!
