At first papyrus was only used in Egypt, but by about 1000 BC people all over West Asia began buying papyrus from Egypt and using it, since it was much more convenient than clay tablets (less breakable, and not as heavy!). People made papyrus in small sheets and then glued the sheets together to make big pieces.
Your baby's first poo is called meconium. This is sticky and greenish-black. Some babies may do this kind of poo during or after birth, or some time in the first 48 hours. After a few days the poo will change to a yellow or mustard colour.
O ne baby might seem to be ready for solids at 4 months, while another shows no signs of readiness until around 6 or 7 months. Just because your friendâs baby may have began eating solid foods at 3 or 4 months of age does not mean that your baby should. Donât be pushed into starting solids and donât feel like you are a âbad Mommyâ if you feel your baby is ready prior to 6 months of age.
