One rule that has stayed the same for all of my children but I have never adhered to is that they are to have no 'solid' food until they are six months old. This rule comes with the proviso that you watch for the signs that your child is ready to eat. I don't think any child would make it to six months under those circumstances. As such Kenny ate at two months, Alex at five months, and Hannah at four months.
About two weeks ago I started feeding Hannah. Every time we ate she wanted some too, so I got her some food. Of course she didn't know what to do with it the first couple of times I feed her so she decided to do her favorite thing... blow raspberries.
This is a new experience for me. The boys were both very tidy eaters. They still are. Sure they would spit out some food but it would stay on their chin or at worst their bib. Hannah sends food flying half way across the room. I wash the floor after washing here face. Thankfully she has now decided to eat most of the food, but that doesn't stop her from spraying the kitchen with at least one pea filled raspberry when she decides that she is finished with her meal.

Sweet baby. I thought you were feeding her raspberries but it's peas she's blowing across the room. My kids ate early too - it just seemed easier that way and they all survived.
No sleeping in the car seat? Sheesh. What side do they want them to sleep on now? With me it was front, with my first two, it was side, and with the last three it was back. I think they're just making this stuff up.
Pea-filled raspberries sounds like the worst snack ever.
They're okay to sleep in the car, but you have to take them out when you get home and disrupt their nap. case in China where a kid asphyxiated sleeping in his car seat.
