Introducing Solids--recommended resources??

LilMama7182 · September 2014

Does anyone have any suggested readings (books, websites, etc.) for introducing solids? At daycare, they suggested I mix apple juice or yogurt with my LO's rice cereal, but I don't feel comfortable doing that at this point. I am looking for a healthy guide that basically gives and outline of what can be introduced and when. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I'm reading the baby led weaning book. So fascinating.

The only good thing about the cereals for the babies is that they are fortified with iron, which if your baby isn't receiving an iron supplement that can be important. I prefer oatmeal or barley to rice.

My baby is almost 6.5 months and at just over 6 months we started her on sweet potatoes, then oatmeal (boxed organic oatmeal for babies) and then tonight we gave her peas.

Rather than adding juice to cereal I would steam some apples or other fruit and make a purée.

I read 'Child of Mine' and thought it was a great read. It is about nutrition in pregnancy to age 5 I believe ( I haven't read past 12 mo yet). The intro to solids chapter was well done with a lot if research incorporated into it.
