Unlike Josha and Elisha who were weaned to solid food when they were 6 months old, Izayah had his first taste of solids when he was seven and a half months old. Reason being he was thriving well on breast milk, thus there was no reason to start him on solids any earlier.

As a tradition with all my babies, his first solid was rice cereal. He seems to like rice cereal as well as oats, apples and banana. He also loves to chew on his home-made oat biscuits.

Two months into weaning, Izayah has also tried carrots and sweet potatoes. Next he will be venturing to the wonderful world of green veggies. It is so much fun giving him new foods to try. Mummy is enjoying it as much as he is! My favorite part about giving my babies solids is watching their expression whenever they try something new… it’s priceless!
