Day 30: eat! eat! eat!

as promised, Ivy can have her ceralac today... so were up earlier than the usual to prepare... i know we're kind of excited, this is her another big day! 

And also found a checklist online "How will I know when my baby's ready?"

  • Head control. Your baby needs to be able to keep his head in a steady, upright position. CHECK!
  • Losing the "extrusion reflex." To keep solid food in his mouth and then swallow it, your baby needs to stop using his tongue to push food out of his mouth. CHECK!
  • Sitting well when supported. Even if he's not quite ready for a highchair, your baby needs to be able to sit upright to swallow well.  CHECK!
  • Chewing motions. Your baby's mouth and tongue develop in sync with his digestive system. To start solids, he should be able to move food to the back of his mouth and swallow. As he learns to swallow efficiently, you may notice less drooling – though if your baby's teething, you might still see a lot of drool.  CHECK!
  • Significant weight gain. Most babies are ready to eat solids when they've doubled their birth weight (or weigh about 15 pounds) and are at least 4 months old.  CHECK!
  • Growing appetite. He seems hungry – even with eight to ten feedings of breast milk or formula a day.  CHECK!
  • Curiosity about what you're eating. Your baby may begin eyeing your bowl of rice.  CHECK!
watchutink? because I think Ivy is really ready to eat!
