1. do u guys mix mashed fruits and veggies with your milk/formula? 

DD never liked formula in her purees so I thinned them with water. 

2. do u ever feed mashed foods i.e. gerbers with a spoon from a container without adding milk/formula?

Yup, jarred foods don't need anything else mixed in. 

3. do u ever bottle feed solids? 

No, it's not a good idea, they can choke very easily this way. 

4. when did u introduce 3rd solid meal and what did u feed? 

Breakfast was our last meal to introduce and we didn't do it,  until she was eating all finger foods, she was never fond of baby cereal.

5. when did u introduce chicken soup?  

She's tried soup when I eat it, but I don't serve it to her, too much sodium.  If I cooked it myself I would. 

6. what do u do when your LO makes a face as if he hates the taste of the food? do u persist/trick play him or pass and feel milk?

Nope, try again another time.  It could take a few tries before LO likes something, but I don't think you should ever force them to eat.

1. do u guys mix mashed fruits and veggies with your milk/formula?  Never, the only time I use formula is for oatmeal. 

2. do u ever feed mashed foods i.e. gerbers with a spoon from a container without adding milk/formula? I've never used any of these.

3. do u ever bottle feed solids?  Never.

4. when did u introduce 3rd solid meal and what did u feed?  We vary between 2-3 meals per day. It's usually a veggie or fruit.. My LO is still not really feeling meats. 

5. when did u introduce chicken soup?  I haven't even thought about giving soups. 

6. what do u do when your LO makes a face as if he hates the taste of the food? do u persist/trick play him or pass and feel milk? I will try a few times, but lately she's been like this for everything that's not puffs.. So I usually just end up giving her the puffs.

1. do u guys mix mashed fruits and veggies with your milk/formula? No, never did this. He ate straight jarred foods. 2. do u ever feed mashed foods i.e. gerbers with a spoon from a container without adding milk/formula?Yes. 3. do u ever bottle feed solids? This is a no-no. 4. when did u introduce 3rd solid meal and what did u feed? We introduced breakfast last because we usually are in a morning rush. He eats fruit, pancakes, eggs, ham, french toast, cheerios. Pretty easy and basic things.5. when did u introduce chicken soup?  We have not introduced any type of soup. 6. what do u do when your LO makes a face as if he hates the taste of the food? do u persist/trick play him or pass and feel milk?If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it and we try something else. I never persist that he eats something.
