12 weeks!

Our little man is growing on up, eating rice cereal at bed time now!

I was able to pump enough breast-milk to make him the cereal. 

We were rather fortunate that my sister got us the Baby Bullet back in December. For this instance we just used the little cup to shake the mixture vigorously but we can't wait to puree and milled meals.

He took to the spoon like a champ! At first we discussed putting it in his bottle because the cereal was so thin but he did a fantastic job.

With the first spoon we tried it was easiest to feed him with the side of the spoon because it had the traditional shape. As you can see I also held him because it seemed the easiest to see how he ate with the spoon and it wasn't too back aching to be closer to his level.

After he gobbled his 4oz of milk with a tablespoon of rice cereal he snoozZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZed for the entire night.

HUGE relief! Although I have read that infants don't eat cereals until 4 months.

But most of the mothers and family I've talked to have suggested to follow your instincts when the baby won't sleep through the night. 

We have been getting peaceful nights of sleep from 11pm to 7am.
