Adventures into human food

05/22/13

The transition into feeding my baby daughter real food is on.  Mila is 4 months, turns 5 months on the 29th. 
We have been doing rice cereal for nearly a month.  She likes it.  Maybe we should have just kept her on that for life!

We have a fabulous doctor who has advised us to begin transitioning Mila into real food.  We are supposed to do vegetables for two weeks at night and after that add fruits for two weeks in the morning.  By the end of six months the hope is she will be regularly eating fruits and veggies daily.
We are also supposed to give her the same vegetable for three days and then do a new one.  That way we find out if she has any allergies.
We are on board with the step-by-step plan the Doc gave us, but Mila is not.
Monday we started with peas.  We were told to go green veggies first then transition to carrots and sweet potatoes because they will like the sweeter veggies more and you'd rather her start bland.
