I planned to start Dawn on cereals when she turns 6 months old. However, I decided to start earlier as she is already showing signs that she is ready for weaning. The signs are :
1. Holding her head up and controlling head movements
2. Sitting well when supported
3. Making chewing motions
4. Doubling her birth weight
5. Being unsatisfied after a full milk feed
6. Demanding increasing and more frequent milk feeds
7. Attempting to put things in her mouth
8. After a period of sleeping through the night waking in the night with hunger
9. Displaying curiosity about what you are eating
After lunch, I went to make the Healthy Times brown rice cereal for her. I mixed 1 tablespoon of cereal with 10ml of breastmilk & let her eat. She liked it so much that she kept leaning forward to eat it. She looks so cute when she does that. Pity that we forgot to take pics as we were too engrossed in feeding her. :p
