lets talk solids!
i think lil miss morrighan is ready for solids she is almost sitting up by herself. she pulls away from the breast when she is done feeding. and we were playing with a teathing spoon thingy and she opend her mouth wide to put it in her mouth. from what i hae read and talked to my doc about she could be ready but it just seems so soon. lately she has been going through a huge growth spurt aswell and i think its comming to a close. so. i would like to hear what yall have to say on the matter.
"'Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky-y-y. Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colors burst Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe" KP

Re: lets talk solids!
I'm waiting until 6 months at least. There are so many different ideas on what to do that I'm just going with the research I've done and what my pedi says. We are skipping the cereal and moving on with fruit and veggies. I would talk to your pedi before doing anything. There is some research about digestive systems not being ready until a certain age (I'm not going to quote an age because I can't remember what it is for sure).

DD3 - 3.28.11
DS pedi had us trying the rice cereal but more liquidy than it should be when he was 2 months becuase of his bad reflux. she said that is the only time she would tell someone to do it. but when i do give it to him he will eat it right up but then about an hour later he is screamming! so i dont give it to him anymore. i waited a couple days and tried again but he did the same thing. so his next appt is coming up so ill just talk to her then and she was she says. but DS is def showing signs hes ready but im not sure since it makes his belly hurt.
sounds like your LO could be ready..
its crazyy how fast they are growing upp! i know everyone says it goes by so fast but sheeshh! its flyying by!
I am waiting until 6 months with this LO. I did it at 4 with the last one and it made our schedule a lot more difficult. We EBF, so I like the on the go convenience. As long as DD is thriving and still gaining, I will hold off.She has her whole life to eat solids. I am not gonna rush it!
(I am also hoping holding off to 6 months will help with texture issues down the road!)

I am willing to start earlier, probably around 4.5 months. There's new research that starting solids earlier than six months may decrease the potential for food allergies in EBF babies.
Umm, of course he loved it. It has a gram of processed sugar in it! Your 3 month old doesn't need "snacks"...especially those with sugar in them.
