Babies: 9 - 12 Months

mix new solids with cereal?

i just started my DS on solids when he was 6 months old.  We did one week of rice and one week of oatmeal.  This past weekend i started him on pears.  I am making his food so i pureed it quite thin.  He hasnt been too interested in solids from day one and he seems to really not like the pears, i mixed it with the cereal.  Should i just give him the pears straight or keep mixing it?  Do you always mix a new solid with the cereal when you introduce it?

Re: mix new solids with cereal?

  • I mix cereal with food just to mix it up a bit, and to use up my cereal.  I actually still feed him cereal alone, but not as thin as before.

  • i always added cereal..just to thicken it up and give the added iron.  if ds didnt like cereal i would say to try to leave it out..but if its the other way around you should be fine.  sometimes it can take a while for a baby to like a certain food.  if he doesnt seem to like it move on and experiment with something else.
