Second week into parenting all on our own proved to be a lifestyle change. We are still in the process of solidly establishing a routine but we are getting there. Last week was a challenge for both Liam and Jon as they were "forced" into liking each other! Now the bub is liking his dad's company.
I started Liam on solids after he pulled my plate to his mouth and licked the edge of it. The next night he had his first taste of porridge-like food of rice cereal and pureed apples. He loves his solids. That night he only woke up once for a bit of milk. I think he was thirsty because I didn't give him milk or water after his solids. Duh. I was the one waking up constantly that night instead of him! It was funny. :)
I'm not sure what it's like in other countries but here in NZ they strongly advise against solids until 6 months. The youngest is 4 months as stated in all the baby food sold in the market. A coworker from South Africa had her babies start at 3 months full on, with a bit of tasting before that.
My baby is really growing fast and is very very cute!
