We have tried it about 3-4 times now, and Brooke HATES it. Just wondering if she is the only one?!?

    All of my kids have had no issues with it.  This LO doesn't like the oatmeal so I went back to rice.

    We use oatmeal (DD has constipation problems so no rice) and she really seems to like it. She has to be in the mood though, it can't be when she is really really hungry or tired.

    No I did not.  I started with rice and her Pedi suggested trying oatmeal after 2 weeks.  I did and she is not a fan so I went back to rice.

    Jackson screamed in pain after eating rice, so we switched to oatmeal and he is doing great on it.

    Some of my mommy friends have told me to put just a tiny bit of applesauce into it. I am scared to do so because I don't want to start her on fruits before veggies.

    DD hated it too.  I just gave up and moved on to oatmeal which she VASTLY preferred.  She also liked barley.  I may just move to oatmeal with DS to start.

    ETA:  Oh and I just started the fruits and veggies soon after.  In no particular order after I tried squash and she hated it.  Think about it -- BM and formula are sweet to start so it's not going to make a huge difference.  I ended up using oatmeal to thicken her food because she liked a thick texture as opposed to the thin watery kind.

    DS has been eating it for about a week now and he LOVES it. It's his favorite part of the day and I usually can't get it into his mouth fast enough.
