Update on Solid Foods

In October I wrote a post about how I fell to the pressure of introducing solids to Ava before I had planned. Now, 4.5 months after introducing solids, Ava is FINALLY into it! She is eating at least three meals a day. Yesterday at daycare she ate a big bowl of rice and meat AND an 8 ounce bottle of breastmilk in one sitting! Not sure where she is putting it! Since she started crawling she has really thinned out, but she is so busy I am sure she is burning all those solid food calories she taking in pretty fast! Next time around I am going to wait much longer to introduce solids. Unless the next child shows eagerness and readiness of course. I just think about how much time I spent trying to consistently offer her food, it was exhausting and not very fulfilling since she would always turn her nose up to it. Thats what parenting is all about, learning as you go.
