Rice Cereal

Madelyn’s doctor said we could/should start her on rice cereal as she is growing so fast and breastmilk isn’t enough to keep her full all night long.

On 8/20 she got her first taste and it went well! She didn’t spit it out and actually wanted more. She wants to help hold the spoon and feed herself. Very independent already!

Before my 1st bite

It's good!

The night of 8/25 Madelyn slept for 9 hours straight….from 8:30 to 5:30 and I got 8 hours of sleep. I felt like a new person! Madelyn’s sleep has been pretty insistent – there are nights she only gets up 1x and others where she is up 4x. She hasn’t had another night (so far) where she has slept this long but since we have started the rice cereal she has only been up 1x/night which is much easier to handle!
