New parent tip #332: don't try new foods at night. Mom and Dad get approximately 2 1/2 hours sleep two nights in a row because Baby with the Congested Intestines is screaming all in pain. Rice is nice. Barley is not! Just got this email from a friend:

It's easily digestible, can be thinned to close to the consistency of breast milk or formula, and it's not allergenic (the way wheat is). We bought Gerber's single grain rice cereal (they also had barley and oat at our grocery store.) Once Sam takes to the rice cereal the doc recommended we add stage one foods (fruits, veggies) slowly and one at a time. We're planning on making our own versions of those with the food processor (pureed carrots, squash, etc.) I'm glad we waited til now to introduce solids. Sam is so focused on getting things in her mouth that she opened wide for each spoonful!

This blog will be a really interesting resource in 10 or 20 years (not that it isn't already). How did you choose what solid food to start with? How exciting.
