Starting solids question

She's 4 months and 1 wk old. What do I use to sit her up while feeding her baby cerealsince she can only sit unassisted for a few seconds. The booster seat says it's only for unassisted sitters

i used a bumbo until she was big enough for the high chair.

Well, my babies always ate while sitting in a high chair...

I think thats rule number 1, you shouldn't start solids until they can sit on their own.

i used to just sit my daughter on my lap

i started my son on rice cereal at 14 weeks (my desicion) and he still lays back to eat, when you make the cereal its usualy 1 table spoon of cereal to 4-5 tablespoons of breast milk or formula so its pretty soupy. He takes it from a spoon but it pretty much goes down as if hes drinking just formula

Ive used her bumbo sometimes, occassionally Ive used her bounc seat or just held her sitting up.

Ok thank you ladies!

we used a bouncer/rocker that had a kickstand that made him sit-up more.

it says the supported sitter stage is cereal and first foods...

I wouldnt think so aubrey is just now sitting on her own for about 10 minutes, then she gets wobbly... but she is clearly ready for solids

Oh, wow... if thats how you're supposed to make it then my kids have gotten it all wrong. I just eye it, but its not soupy and they could NEVER eat it laying back...

Ya I dont make mine that soupy I usually do 1 tbs rice ceralt to 1-1 1/2 tbsp formula so its kinda thick (not real thick though)

Me too... I dont think my baby would like it soupy like that, besides if they're starting solids, it really shouldnt be confused w/ drinking milk off of a spoon... JMO
