I want the banana!
On Monday, I was eating a banana and Emmy started grabbing for it. Since we are in the safe zone with the rice cereal, I let her pull it to her mouth. I actually mashed up a banana for her to eat but never gave it to her. There is much debate on "when" to introduce solids. The doctor definitely approved her for the cereal and just said to give 5-7 days between new foods. I am waiting a few more days to weeks before I introduce more than the cereal - just to give her little digestive track time to get used to the cereal. There is no rush, right?!

Our doctor says it was fine to introduce new foods with 4-5 days in between, just to check for allergies, which I'm sure you've heard too. Many baby cereals mix fruits in...like the mixed berry or banana flavors. Maybe Emmy would like them, if you haven't already tried it?
BTW, I love reading your blog, as I feel like I keep in touch with you so much better! :)
