Solids and Vitamins

Baby J had his 4 month well baby check, weighing in at almost 19lbs, and 26 in. long he is more then healthy enough, his doctor however wants me to give him more iron. So that means one of 2 choices, the first being a vitamin drop, which looks and smells disgusting. Baby J was none to pleased about it the first time I gave it to him, so I went with option b, baby rice cereal. Here's how that went down.

He started out happy as a clam to be sitting in his brand new highchair. It all seemed to change quickly though, with each passing spoonful being shoveled, and at times forced, into his mouth.

I tried bananas a couple of days later, and got an even worse reaction of him screaming his head off like I was trying to kill him! I guess we will hold off on solids for a while longer and hope that the next time it goes over better.
