We started Candra on rice cereal a few days back cos we thought it might be time for her to get started. We started thinking about solids when she started to wake up really early in the morning at about 4am EVERYDAY. She would wake up and play all the way up till 10am before going down for her first nap. She did that for about 2 weeks before we decided to try solids. Initially, we thought the super early wakings might be due to an increasing awareness and alertness to her surroundings...but it lasted for far too long. Since she looked like she really wanted to start having our food..we thought it's probably fine to start her at 5 months.
Ever since we started giving her rice cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, she's been sleeping till 7am in the morning...back to normal. I'm wondering whether her early wakings were really due to her need for solids :). Anyway, she's been feeding fine.. enjoying each meal. Thankfully she finishes her milk before taking the solids so that ensures that she takes in the essential nutrients from milk.
Lately, she's been rather cranky on some days...we started her playpen time (20-30mins, twice a day)...on some days she would really enjoy playing on her own in there..on some days, she would be crying off and on, even when she's carried. She wouldn't want to play with anything sometimes. Maybe she's teething? But we've been waiting and we don't see any tooth coming out yet....hmm....cranky cranky.
As I spend time with her...I understand why people say that mothers will very quickly forget the labour pains and look forward to having a next one :) hehe.
