Feeding the Lil Bug...Her first Food!!!

"She likes it, she likes it!!!"

Yup, I must say I was a bit surprised that Ladybug enjoyed her first food and actually ate most of what I had for her! Neither of my boys were too impressed when they were this age, although they both ate rice cereal (whole grain, organic) as their 1st food. They both made funny faces and spit it all out, but not my lil bug! She gobbled up her avocado and was super cute while doing it!

We all thought it was funny to see her stick her tongue out and down into the food on the spoon...
She wasn't a very efficient eater and is learning what to do with her tongue ;) but that's to be expected! She also thought it would be nice to get a little thumb sucking in while eating, which made for a nice mess!

Overall it was a very pleasant experience, and I look forward to many more food adventures with her!!!

For those wondering, she ate approx a tablespoon of mashed up avocado mixed with a tiny bit of water (I didn't have any breast milk available). I fed her around 11 am and then nursed her afterward for her "real feeding."

Feeding the Lil' Bug

So, it's almost that time. I can't believe it. Almost time to offer Ladybug her very first food...ahhh--how did she get this old?

She is exclusively breastfed and eats well. My boys were both BF also, and each had their first food around 5 1/2-6 months of age. I used the wonderful book, Super Baby Food with both of them and plan to with Ladybug also.


I am more confident when it comes to nutrition nowadays so feeding Bug will be easier for me. My plan is to start with ripe organic Avocado, mashed up and mixed with breastmilk until it's really runny.


We will eat only a little bit of this for about 4-7 days and then I will gradually add other healthy items to her diet. With Pac Man (my 7 yr old) I made all of his food, even his cereal-grinding the grains myself!!! I wasn't so dedicated with Krash (age 3), and plan to do it somewhere in the middle with Ladybug. She will eat entirely organic, everything. I plan to make most of her food myself, with the exception of some organic jars of things I don't usually have on hand, but that will come later.

I am not ready at ALL for her to be old enough to eat food, we still may wait a few weeks. But, I do know that my boys are good eaters, and I do believe in giving first foods between 5 1/2-6 1/2 months. Ladybug will be 6 months old on 10/14. I don't believe any eating plan is 100% right or wrong, that's just what I personally feel comfortable with for various reasons.

I hope to post about her feeding adventures, and resources I find to use on our journey! Anyone else who has posts on your blog about feeding your baby, please leave a link in the comments, I'd love to see!
