At Lily's 4-month checkup last week, our pediatrician said that we could start her on solid foods any time we wanted. They recommend babies start out with rice cereal, which consists of these light flakes (they look like fish food) that you water down to the consistency of a thin soup. We mixed up a batch (like 5 tablespoons) for her and you can see the results.
I think she did very well for her first time eating from a spoon. She seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly and most of it actually stayed in her mouth. We'll probably stick with the rice cereal for a couple of weeks before we move on to something more adventurous like peas or carrots.
It's so exciting seeing her trying something new!
