Today the Pediatrician gave us our lesson in sleep and food scheduling for our 4 1/2 month old baby. Up until now the protocol has been feed-on-demand (basically every 3 hours). But today we were given the green light to introduce solid foods into Harvey's diet via spoonfeeding. I felt a little threatened by the mention of rice cereal: "Isn't my milk good enough? I was hoping to breastfeed Harvey until the end of the first year." Dr. King reassured me that Harvey wouldn't give up on mother's milk; that the 3 times a day regimen of cereal, fruits and veggies would be in alternation with breastfeeding. Joe's question raised a different concern: "Will the diapers start to smell?" (For those who are curious, the answer was, "No.")
