Although there was some spitting, the cereal incident was unsuccessful.
Any Mom knows that if you want to get some sleep at night, you put a little rice cereal in your baby's bottle so he/she will sleep longer between feedings. I've been doing this recently with my son. It works pretty well. It buys me a few more precious hours of MUCH NEEDED SLEEP.
Baby's usually start eating rice cereal around 4 months. DJ is 3 1/2 months so I figured I'd try it out. Hey, he has it in his bottle, so why wouldn't he like it in a bowl? Duane set up the video camera and I got everything ready. I sat DJ down on my lap. Duane did little voice over intro for the camera, then, ACTION. I fed DJ a little bit of cereal. He ate a little then frowned up his face and spit it out. I made it a little thinner and the same thing happened. Darn! I was hoping to be able to feed him some cereal for dinner, then he wouldn't need a bottle during the night. Oh well, we'll try again in a few weeks. This time with some fruit!!!
I'll let you know how it goes...

I didn't start solids with Gisela until she was 6 months! (strictly breastfed up until then) And she has slept through the night (8 hours) since 8 weeks. (don't hate me!)
Just a FYI that solids don't matter. I was told (by a nurse) it was all about brain maturity and babies do it when they are ready.
Sucks, but he will be there soon! GOOD LUCK!
