Solids at 6 mths

Most paediatricians recommend waiting until your baby is sitting with minimal support before starting on solid foods.
At his 6th month, We could tell that nathan is gaining more neck muscular control and he displays a strong interest in food, making the occasional mouth opening and closing actions. He also appears to be hungry all the time, well it has been every hour since birth and though volume of milk feeds went up, it didn't seem sufficient for him. He would wake up in the middle of the night screaming for food.
Nathan would also stare and wave his arms frantically as he watches me having my dinner. He would reach out and grab my plate or cutlery or simply try reaching for food in his own ways.
With all the various hints, i have decided to start him on solids! And yesterday he had his first scoop of organic rice cereal with milk! According to popo he finished his meal greedily and was all smiles as he licked on the spoon! Too bad there was no photo of this candid moment! How i wish i was there to feed him...
