Joshua will be 4 months old tomorrow and we have felt he has been ready for solid foods for some time now. Having succesfully given him formula milk for his dream feeds over the last week, we decided today was the day to try the baby rice. So he had his first helping around lunchtime and then a second lot for his evening meal. It was amazing how quickly he took to the new experience of A) eating from his high chair, B) eating from a spoon and C) the new textures/flavours. As you can see from the pictures and the video clips, Joshua seemed to thoroughly enjoy the rice and very quickly learned to open his mouth for the spoon. The mess wasn't too bad either, as you would expect he dribbled/spat some out, but the tongue action is there and he was gumming and swallowing no problems. Only a matter of time now before I get the lad eating my plain boiled rice with tuna in spring water! Fingers crossed now that he is eating something more substantial than just breast milk, he might start sleeping through the night a bit better.

Boy was he ready for the feed, he was so excited when you were both feeding him, I bet he will put on a steady weight gain now. Did he sleep any better? And he gained a few ounces this time at the clinic. You are both doing a grand job and Josh is defiately thriving. Keep up the good work all 3 of you luv nanny and grandad. xxxxxx
