Kelly - we started rice cereal yesterday -Izzy was doing the same thing! She swallowed about a 1/4 of a teaspoon spat out and gagged heaps but had great fun!! I gave it to her after her feed and made it relaxed and fun! Videoed it for Al as he misses out poor boy She held the spoon shoved it in her mouth and spat out the rice cereal and chewed on the spoon! Today she didnt swallow any and didnt let me put hardly any in her mouth so I just stopped. I figure by 6 mths she will be ready to really eat!! Im going to give her the cereal once a day for the next week. Then will go to twice a day and Im not introducing anything else until she is 6 mths!
Hope that helps hun! Hard to know what to do really!
