Look at this big boy!

As mentioned in the previous post, Carter was given the green light to start on some rice cereal. So, Wednesday night we tried it for the first time. He actually did extremely well- getting the bulk of it in his mouth. I did the "ping-go-hum" technique and he opened up his mouth first try. So far we have only fed him once a day as recommended by his doctor- so at 8:15pm we give him a tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with 2 tablespoons of breastmilk and he basically eats the whole dish, then at 9pm I breastfeed him and we put him down for the night. The process seems to be going well. We are now moving up to giving him the cereal twice a day for a few days and then we are supposed to do 3 times a day with breastmilk in between if needed- Dr. Heath said that his main source of calories still comes from me. We were also told that he will be more gassy and stinky!?!?!? Is that possible???

I can't believe that he's eatting big people food already, he's getting so big so fast!
