Solids are around the corner for LO! She has only had breast milk and I am debating what I want to start with. What did you start with or plan to start with?
I'm still researching blw to see if I want to do that full on or kind of do a hybrid. Anyway, I voted other because it might be poi (a starchy Hawaiian food made from the taro plant) or avacado. I still have a while to decide tho.
I tried a tiny bit of avocado just to see how he'd take it. He looked grossed out. I gave him a 4th of a banana with some of the peel still on as a handle and he grabbed that and sucked on it for a good while. But it's only been a one time thing so far.
We started with a little bit of Organic Rice cereal because of his constant spitting up. He only ate that for two days though. I have been making all of his baby food and so far he has had Sweet Potato, squash, apples, pumpkin, and pears. Sometimes I mix one of those with rice cereal. I planned to wait until he was much older to introduce any food, but sometimes baby has other plans! It's really helped his spitting up.
I guess I'm the only one who did butternut squash! And Mr. Baby loved it, and still does. He had some mixed with fresh banana for breakfast today.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

We will do a hybrid of blw. I think I'm too "old school" to just give my 6 month old a piece of broccoli lol. And we will start with oatmeal and then avocado.
Pumpkin puree. I was making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and put some on my finger for her to taste, she loved it and swallowed it instead of pushing it out. That's how I knew she was ready for other stuff too.

For those giving oatmeal- just curious- is it the oatmeal baby cereal or actual oatmeal?
We do the gerber oatmeal mixed with pumped breastmilk. It took him a couple tries but last night he ate the whole little container! It was cute. And I swear it's helping him sleep longer (we feed it to him around 7)
