DD hates rice cereal

I started rice cereal last Tuesday and DD hates it. She cry's every time. Once the cereal is in her mouth she doesn't know what to do with it. She usually let's it sit in there or spits it out. I thought after a week of trying she would start to figure it out. I've tried making it liquidy and thick, she hates both. I'm not sure if I should just stop for now and try it again later? I know she is def. into food bc she loves watching us eat. Is this kind of a normal reaction? She I just keep trying? I don't want to force it upon her if she's not ready yet.

  • DS responded much better after we added a little applesauce ... but if shes not ready shes not ready

  • My DD was the same way, we put it away for a couple of weeks and tried it again. She never did start liking it, so the pedi said to try oatmeal. She loves it and eats it twice a day now. So I'd say if she still doesn't like it after a couple of weeks, maybe try that. :)

  • Either she's not ready for solids in general or you just easily move on to oatmeal or something and try to reintroduce it later.
