Now that Emilia weighs 7.36 kg (16.2 lb) and is 5 months old corrected, I decided to start her on solids. When we saw her pediatrician a week ago, he said it seemed like a good idea to start her on solids in the next two weeks or so. Being Korean, rice is the main staple for us and steamed rice is always available in our dear rice cooker. I just took a teaspoon of cooked rice and mixed it with 5 teaspoons of breastmilk and then put it in the blender to make puree. I think it might have been too soupy though. In any case, Emilia took several spoons of the rice-milk mixture. Some of it was dripping out of her mouth, but for the most part, I think she took it really well and actually liked it. I will try again tomorrow with less milk and see how she likes it. I can't wait to give her mashed banana... but that's gotta be in 3-4 days as they say introduce only one food at a time : (
