Carrots!

We started carrots yesterday morning and again some funny looks to begin with but he warmed up to them in the end. At lunch time he was much more interested in the taste.

You will notice that we start our new food introductions in the morning. I read that this was the best time to introduce a new food so that if there were any allergies, or stomach upsets that baby wouldn't wake up through out the night.

So far we have done pretty well and there seems to be no intolerance.

I am pretty sure he was thinking that if I fed him carrots his curly little fuzz head was going to get more orange. He doesn't seem to approve.









My smiling little gummy bear. I have never met a more happy baby. I am the luckiest mom in the world. <3

I know that some parents aren't for the early introduction of solids and I was one of those before gummy bear came along. My original plan was to breastfeed until at least one year and do baby led weaning at around 8 or 9 months. Of course we had to divert from our plan and start formula and this has left me with a baby who seems more ready to start on purees. So we opted to start a couple weeks before the 6 month mark and I am following his lead in determining his readiness.
