Yesterday we fed Claire her first food, pureed avocado! She has been showing some signs of signs of interest and her pediatrician encouraged us to start sooner than later as there is new research showing starting babies around 4 months results in them less likely to develop allergies and asthma when they are older. I was planning on waiting until she was 6 months until her doctor told me all of this, and she will be 5 months next week so we decided to go ahead and see how she did with solids. We had a lot of fun feeding Claire, but I don't think she was quite so sure about it :).
We're planning on introducing her to solids slowly until she gets the hang of it. She hasn't quite figured out the swallowing concept so it mostly just ended up all over her face. I'm excited to keep practicing with her and see which foods she likes best!
