Oskar's first solid feed!

The last couple of weeks Oskar's has been demonstrating some obvious signs that milk just might not be enough for him anymore. He's been excessively chewing his fingers, screams when his milk feed finishes and is always staring at Felix and me when we're eating. He used to have 200 to 240 ml of milk per feed but now he manages up to 300ml! As Oskar is only 19 weeks old (4 months and something...) he isn't really allowed to have solids until he reaches 6 months of age. At least this is what the World Health Organization voted in 2003.  They say however that if your baby shows signs that he needs more food and is not satisfied on milk alone then you can very gently start weaning him. So, 3 days ago we started by giving him a teaspoon of baby rice - i must say i was prepared for the worst - food flying all over the place and Oskar having a fit. It turned out that i didn't need to worry as Oskar is a natural, he made some very funny faces but overall he seemed 

to enjoy this new way of feeding.   

From the video you can see how interested he is looking on his right at me preparing his feed.  Our baby is adorable!
