by mcjessica on July 14, 2006

I’ve decided to hold off on solid foods as long as possible. We did give him a tiny bit of mashed banana & breastmilk a few days before the 6-month mark but I doubt that any of it actually got swallowed. I guess we thought he was ready but, just because he wants to shove [...]
