We started Lily on solids about a week ago. She's doing pretty good. Most of it ends up in her mouth. The first spoonful she'll make a face but then she will open her mouth for the next spoonful. So far she's only had rice and oatmeal. Next week we'll start barley and then veggies.
So I have a couple of questions.
1. What on earth is Barley?
2. When do you start making the rice, oatmeal, and barley thicker? (Right now, I'm following the Baby's first cereal feeding directions)

I've done the cereal feeding for Zeke in the evenings. I stir in enough milk/formula until it is runny.
At first Zeke had a hard time getting his tongue out of the way of the spoon, so I used a straw to get the cereal into one of his cavernous cheeks. I would suck up some cereal into the straw and then gently blow it into his mouth. Kristin wasn't a fan of this technique, but it did work well.
I'm impressed. Ellie never really liked the rice cereal so we just waited until she was a little older and started her off with vegetables.
