Don't judge me! Yes, the boys are one week shy of 5 months old and I gave them sweet potatoes today! Guess what.....they LOVED them! They were definitely ready for them. Most people start their babies on solids at 6 months. Well, I'm not most people! You have to go by their cues/signs, not necessarily by the calendar. The calendar isn't always right! My boys were eating every 2 - 2 1/2 hours. They weren't getting full off their formula. This has been going on for the past couple of weeks, so I know it's not just a growth spurt. I decided that since they can hold their head up, they were making chewing motions, were never full off formula, and they no longer have the tongue thrust reflex, that maybe we could try solids.
we love their reactions to the sweet potatoes.
