Oscar is four months old! At his four month appointment his doctor suggested we try solid food any time and for sure before his 6 month appointment. I've been more of an "only breastmilk till 6 months" kind of person but, eh, a few spoonfuls of applesauce at 4 months seems unlikely to cause permanent harm.
Plus, our feeding interactions with Oscar have been mostly unpleasant lately since he really doesn't like a bottle. Trying something new seemed fun and positive.
Feeding my baby sister her first bite of solid food felt like a very important thing when I was 8 so I wanted Biscuit to have this big sister responsibility as well. The kid has never taken a more efficient bath than when I told her after her bath she could trying giving Oscar his first bite of solid food.
Expressions captured to the contrary, he liked it alright. Minimal tongue thrust and he swallowed it so I guess the experiment was a success. Go, baby!
