After a few nights of trying I just gave up until 6 months and went straight to the Gerber rice cereal w/ applesauce in the jar and it didn't take him long to get the hang of it. Let me know how the steamer works out-I've been thinking about making some of Lilla's food too!derek and brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054911194406323981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606492896761932729.post-38743884235491246352010-09-24T20:13:41.408-07:002010-09-24T20:13:41.408-07:00Addison only gets juice on occasion as a special t...Addison only gets juice on occasion as a special treat. Even then we water it down, it is way to full of sugar. We didn't start her on solids until she got interested in our food. Once she was eyeing foods and grabbing at our plates we started (around 5.5 months) and she gobbled it all right up. If Morgan doesn't seem to take to it, you can always hold off longer. No need to rush. Like someone else said, eating solids now is just practice, not for nutrition. I too breastfed her first so she was full of what she needed, then let her try some cereal. We started with fruits because breast milk is already so sweet the veggies can be a bit shocking to babies. I've always heard formula fed babies are better off starting with veggies though.<br /><br />Good luck! It is fun when they start new stuff, enjoy.Chrissynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606492896761932729.post-64876695272936089322010-09-24T13:54:53.136-07:002010-09-24T13:54:53.136-07:00When we were first starting out I didn't give ...When we were first starting out I didn't give the "solid" foods until Cooper had part of a bottle/breastfed for a while....that way he didn't get too frustrated with figuring out how to get the food down into his tummy. At this stage it's more like experimenting and getting used to it....not where she is getting the bulk of her nutrition so she doesn't have to get a lot in/down.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429796234084895439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606492896761932729.post-90673434137098899812010-09-24T06:06:03.539-07:002010-09-24T06:06:03.539-07:00I also water my kids juice down b/c it has so much...I also water my kids juice down b/c it has so much sugar in it. My kids are 5 & almost 2. I know the 5 yr old would be fine but habits...<br />I never gave juice to my babies before they were 1. Just me...<br /><br />And it does take time getting used to swallowing solids. The textures are so different, too. It took my daughter a long time to adjust to solids/cereal. :) She's just not a good eater!

It is fully empty calories and sugars. Wade still doesn't get it and he's 3.5. <br /><br />Sometimes it takes 10 tries before a child will like a food. So you have to keep on trying.Sarah's Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047458308747128010noreply@blogger.com
