Lovin' the food

After some initial difficulties, Riley is now eating solids and loving it! A few weeks back, he became very unsettled through the nights, waking at least 5 times each night, which did my head in to say the least. He was up acting as if it was day time, thrashing around in his cot and generally being very hard to settle. After a week of it and suspecting teething again, I took him to the doctors to try and get to the bottom of it. Doc suggested starting food as he was just a few weeks short of 6 months and so that very day I started him on stewed apples mixed with rice cereal which he loved. Within three days he was on three meals a day, increasing each feed and sleeping very well again. He is eating like a champion and loving apples, pears, potato, pumpkin, carrots and cereal...and taking zucchini but only if its mixed with something else (must be like his mummy with greens!). He loves his feeds and enjoys playing with the spoon and smearing food everywhere!
