She's gotten lots of fruits/veggies/meat. We just started rice cereal a few days ago because people swore it would be different than other foods and help her sleep longer, not our little girl. But rice cereal is probably the 10th thing she's tried. Like last night she had half a tablespoon of rice cereal in and ounce of breastmilk and then maybe 1/2 ounce of blueberry/pear mixture. And she also nursed before and after. She's just an eater.

@Andrea: So far she's had pumpkin, peas, blueberry/pear, pear, banana, apple, turkey, avacado, rice cereal. Besides for the blueberry/pear we've stuck to single ingredient at a time while she gets the hang of solids. She usually eats 1/2 ounce at a time, sometimes an ounce and no more than twice a day but usualy once a day.

She'd been a really good sleeper and usually would go 6-8 hours before waking up to nurse. If she hit a growth spurt or when she had a stufy nose there'd usually be a couple days of waking up after 4 hours.

The past week and a half she'd been waking up more like every 2 hours. She's never done that even when she was a newborn.

@Andrea: Before last week it was more tastes of food. If I was having an apple I'd scrape a little off and let her try some or squish a bit of banana between my fingers. We've been doing that since 4 months but most days she didnt even have a taste of solid so probably a week or so between foods. Around 5 months she started getting a bit more but only about once or twice a week. Its only been this week where she's gotten a bit of solids everyday. Maybe I should back off, I just feel like she's really hungry when she wakes up, I'm not sure whether to give her less or give her more.
