rice cereal

After we fed Elijah a jar of baby bananas (which I consider not worth the money - mashing an organic banana with a fork will do just fine from now on), I decided to do some research online (better late than never). Turns out, it is recommended you feed your child rice cereal for a while before introducing fruits and vegetables. Who would have thought! While I don't think it's that big of a deal, Elijah will be eating rice cereal for a little bit. We mix it with yummy Mommy's milk that has been sitting in the freezer for a few months for just such an occasion. It's perfect! It's not good enough to be eaten by itself as it won't fill him up (turns out the makeup of the milk changes as the baby grows, becoming more filling for them), but it's great to be mixed with cereal for a little (or a large) afternoon snack!
