The Week of Rice Cereal 101

Lucien is now into Week 15.  He is almost four months old and we couldn't wait any longer.  It's time to introduce the rice cereal to get him on his way to eating solid foods and hopefully sleeping better.  Lucien has still been waking up through the night 1-2 times or about every 3 hours.  We started by mixing some rice cereal into his milk and then we tried spoon feeding him about 1 tbsp of rice cereal mixed with his milk.  He used his tongue thrusting technique to eat which caused him to wear most of his first rice cereal meal.  But all in all it was a success!  The sleeping hasn't changed though.  I guess I have to wait until he's eating the prime rib before he's sleeping through the night again.
