More food questions bc I am a FTM!

Ahhh this food thing! My dr did not give us a lot of info!!

So we tried pears today for LOs new food. He hated them! Cried! So do I have to wait another three says to introduce a new food? We are doing oatmeal and bananas but his poop is hard. What's a good next new fruit? Prune?
Thank you and happy Mother's Day mamas!!

Prunes are good if you are having pooping issues. I'd use your judgment on introducing something else new. Did LO actually ingest much of the pears? If you don't feel comfortable giving another new food I would back off the oatmeal and bananas.

If that was the first time you'd tried them and he doesn't show signs if an allergy, I would try them again. It's a new thing, so it's not uncommon for babies to not like them at first.

Too much bananas could make him constipated.

I would try it again for the 3 or 4 days. Then a good fruit for poop would be prunes or apples.

I thought apples constipated too? (BRAT foods?) try green beans or peas too if looking for something else to try

Thread jack: when we first introduce solids (oatmeal) will they more than likely get constipated? We can't mix fruit right off the bat to combat that, right?

They say one new food at a time...then 3-5 days at another. This way you can tell if there is an allergy- you know what caused it.

I did mix the pears with BM....maybe I shouldn't have...I'll try again tomorrow!

ooh, maybe you're right. It's been awhile since I've done the single foods! Sorry for the bad advice.

I've read the P foods help with poop: pears, prunes, peas, etc. I would probably wait the 3 days but if allergies don't run in your family, it may be tempting to just try something new.

We did avocado first - Loved it. Then the baby rice cereal. pumpkin (butternut squash) love. Pear, not a huge fan, pulls faces. I've mixed it with the baby rice and he seems to like that better. Then we tried banana yesterday for the first time. Love. No poo issues so far

We started with veggies first, not fruit.

Pears are sour so I can see why that wouldn't be a good first food. I think you should try avocado, peas, green beans or carrots. Something mild. Mixing with oatmeal is a good idea too. When I give DS fruit, I usually mix it with oatmeal so it isn't too sour. Carrots were DS's first food and he loved them!

I wouldn't wait 3 days but that's me.
