What were your LOs first foods?

And how long were you on oatmeals or rice cereal before moving to more "real" foods?

I know this question has been asked before so thank you for taking the time to respond again.  I cant rememeber the responses

I waiteda  week to two weeks.. and then I mixed in sweet peas into the cereal.  She had that for a few days... today we will be introducing carrots into her cereal.

We did rice cereal for a week.  Then, we added real bananas to his rice cereal.  He loves it!  We tried peas the following week, and he didn't really like that.  He had sweet potatoes last week and couldn't get enough.  Yesterday, we tried avocados and he didn't really like it.  But it could have been because I mixed BM into the avocados.  I'm going to try water or maybe mix it with some rice cereal.  I didn't mix rice cereal into the peas or sweet potatoes because we usually do rice cereal and bananas in the morning and then a veggie at night.

We did rice cereal for about a week and then oatmeal for about 2 weeks.  Then we moved onto peas, carrots and sweet potatoes.  Then we tried pears, apples, bananas.  Now we do fruit in the morning and a veggie at night.

After cereal we started veggies at about 5 months.  After we tried all those we moved onto fruit.

We never did rice cereal/oatmeal.  We started with bananas for a week and then cycled through avocado, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, carrots, peaches, applesauce and pears.  She gets puffs and yogurt melts now, too.  We're trying to move away from the pureed vegetables and fruits and have been giving her a lot of diced stuff.  She does great with it.  We'll be starting pureed meat combos in a couple of weeks (when we get back from traveling with our CDs - meat poop stinks!).  HTH!

We only did rice cereal alone for about a week. He didn't like it that much until we started mixing it with purees. The first foods he had were sweet potatoes, avocado, banana, squash, apples, pears....not in that order exactly, I can't remember, it's been so long!

Maggie did each cereal (rice, then oatmeal, then barley) for a week each. So a total of 3 weeks and at 5 months we started with sweet potato, avacado, peas, apples, pears, peaches, banana, green beans, squash, spinach.  She's liked everything except for avacado, and she didn't really like bananas too much either.

I just wrote this in mrsdanigirl's post...  her it is copied and pasted!

We did things a little different.  We started oatmeal, 2 times a day for 3 days.  Then switched to a veggie, 2 times a day, for 3 days.  Went through all the veggies, then fruits.  Same thing.  We sometimes do it for 2 days only...  However long it takes her to get through 1 container, then we switch.  Going really well so far... only 2 more fruits.  She did all 5 veggies and 3 fruits so far!!
