Its recommended that you wait until 6 months before you feed babies something other than formula or milk, but what do doctors know anyway? Riley has been watching us eat for a couple of weeks now and we figured that nothing magical happens at 6 months where she can suddenly deal with food that was undigestible only two weeks before. So, at 5 and a half months, we mixed up some rice cereal - only the most benign substance know to man - and decided to give it a try. To our surprise, Riley opened her mouth at the sight of incoming food and took to the new substance with no problem. In fact, she ate the whole bowl we had mixed up. In no time her face was covered in ricey goodness and the whole thing was gone. Next up, a cheese burger.
