XP: Let's talk 1st solids

I am starting to give rice cereal by spoon today because they can't seem to get it out of the bottle even with an expanded y cut nipple.  I also have some pureed sweet potato and peaches that I would like to try for them.  It was also suggested to try avocado and YoBaby yogurt (for the soothing of reflux).  Do you have any other suggestions on how to go about introducing solids to preemies?  Give my your advice!!

TIA!

  • I would start with the cereal and then gradually add in a new things.  I think it's best to try on thing at a time.  I think their tiny little digestive tracts need some time to adjust to concept of real food.

  • i agree with pp. start with cereal for at least a week or two and then introduce veggies. I would wait as long as you can to do the fruit.....some babies like it too much and then won't eat the veggies.
  • we started with rice cereal, then barley, then oatmeal.  everything for 5 days to see if they had any reaction.

    we've done veggies and we just started pears...ds doesn't seem to care for them but dd loves them!
