Rice Cereal

I was so excited that Dr. Mouton told us we could start adding in a little cereal to Tristan's diet! Most excited that it might help with his reflux, but also just excited just for the next "step." I can't believe he's old enough to start trying to eat from a spoon. So I got all set, got the cereal, mixed it just right, grabbed the camera, the baby, the husband, the bib and...
Tristan was not so much a fan! He actually gags now when we try to give it to him, poor thing. We'll keep trying though, slow and steady. Hopefully he'll come around soon. Any suggestions?!?

We tried cereal at four months with Ian and he didn't take it well. Waited until six months, and I guess he was ready by then. Every baby is different, though!

my tristan just never likes rice cereal...never took to it! he was a bigger fan of the oatmeal. he did not really start to love solids until we gave him veggies!
