Since I am exclusively breastfeeding, I wanted Jonah to try different textures. We are about to start solids since he just turned 6 months and I wanted to prepare him!

 

A momsickle is breast milk frozen in an ice tray. Since he doesn't have teeth yet, it is safe to put the momsickle in a feeder (if he had teeth he could tear the feeder and choke on the ice). So this works great for us. As an added bonus, it helps with teething. He likes the cold on his gums while getting some calories. Win-Win!

I didn't start this until he was about 5 months old. He loves it!
