Mum decided to start feeding Basil some mushed up food, even though he's only 4 months and they say you're supposed to wait until 6 months. But he was hungry all the time and drooling at the mouth a lot, and at his last weigh-in he was below average so mum decided to give it a try with a morsel of mashed banana.
At the first taste, he was uncertain as to what was going on, but after three seconds he seemed to decide he loved it and grabbed a hold of the spoon and wouldn't let it out his mouth. So we gave him a wee bit more and a wee bit more after that. He had a quarter banana that way.
He's been getting gradually more and more baby stuff over the last few days and now he's on three squares a day: creamed porridge for breakfast, spinach and potato bake for lunch, chicken and carrot supreme for tea. (I tried some and it was yucky, although I like the apple sauce he gets for dessert.) He's still getting plenty of milk too though.
He loves meal time and always gets stuff all over his face. He is also far better at sleeping through the night now too.
So it seems a love of a hearty meal runs in the family around here
