To Anyone Who Has A Baby Under 12months Old, When Did You Start Feeding Them Cereal Or Other Baby Foods?
my girl is 5 months old, i tried feeding her baby cereal like the doc told me too but she won’t eat it. she eats every hour and 15 minutes, any suggestions? and also what baby foods are you supposed to start them on first?
A: Try canned baby cereals Gerber makes them so does beechnut some babies doesn’t like the boxed cereal also with cereals you try rice cereal first then oatmeal then barely or mixed cereals . When starting babies off on solids you start with the cereals then you can move onto the fruits then the veggies or thats how I did when my daughter was starting out on it all and I feed her the same thing for about a week or 2 to be sure she wasn’t allergic .
I started my daughter on cereals at 4 months then at 5 months she was on fruits n veggies then at almost 6 months she was on stage 2 foods and eating meat dinners.
A: i started my baby around 5 or 5.5 months on cereal, because i could barely keep up with breastmilk. try to make it real watery and see if she will eat it then. try every few days until she will eat if, make sure you mix with either breastmilk or formula
i started sweetpotatoes when she was 6 months, start off with one new veggie for a week, and then move onto another. after you have given her a wide variety of veggies, start her off on meat, and then finally fruit.
if you start off on fruit, she may not ever want to eat anything else. right now, I give my daughter a little of everything, she is almost 8 months now.
A: I waited until six months and started with rice cereal also. Wait a few days until she gets used to that then start giving her vegetables. My pediatrician recommended that you only give one new food at a time, every two to three days. This gives your babys body some time to get used to the new food and helps you in case they have any allergic reaction so that you will be able to tell exactly what it is from. Don’t worry if she doesn’t want to eat any of it now, her body is doing fine with just formula. Wait a few weeks and try it again but don’t force it on her. She will let you know when she’s ready
A: i started my son on cereal at 3 1/2 months then at 5 months i was giving him stage one Gerber foods and he is not 10 months and is on stage 3 foods and is eating puffs, scrambled eggs etc. try mixing your daughters cereal with some grape jelly (not alot) good luck!
A: I started my little girl on cereal in her bottle at 2months old
Not alot just a bit to make her forulma a little thicker so she won’t go through bottles so much
A: rice cereal i started about 5 months then puree fruits and veggies…give her time if she doesnt want any now try in a week or so
A: i personally put the cereal in her formula… i would start off with orange vegetables… squash, carrots etc.. keep it consistent for a couple of weeks then switch to green vegetables like peas… you are doing fine.. mother instincts!!!
A: I started my daughter on rice cereal at 4 months once a day in the morning then at 6 months I started to mix fruits into her cereal. She seemed to like it more once I mixed the fruit in with it.
Rice baby cereal at 4 months.
Id say they are more than ready to start cereal at 5 months. Apple sauce and other fruits are good to start them out on!
6 months- try starting with vegetables, because it you feed them fruit first, they won’t take the veg. later because they aren’t as sweet. Try mixing the baby food and cereal if she won’t eat cereal alone.
At five months, she has been ready for solids for a month now – and she does NOT need to nurse every hour – that is ridiculous.
Try making her baby cereal using breast milk. My kids wouldn’t eat it plain so I used to mix jarred pears (for babies) in it or other fruit. Try one fruit at a time every 3 days (to make sure she’s not allergic)
hi and my youngest one is 5months aswell. and you are the mother right so you will know what your baby wants and the do0ctors and the health vistors im sorry to say that they are not living with you. and as my little one has been eating since she was 4 months, so please forget the idiots becuase half of them have no children at all. so if you need anything at all keep in touch thanks.when your child is getting hungery then its time to feed with food.
Put the baby cereal in the milk but not to thick so she can get adjusted to the taste. As my son got older, around 8 months I started putting the jars of food in his milk, like applesauce and peaches, etc. I didn’t really give him jar food til he was around 5 or 6 months. They are labeled with the levels you should start. I didn’t start with the actual glass jars though, I used the little plastic containers, they come either two or four. I only used organic baby foods and you can find them at Wal-Mart or any baby food aisle.
As per doctors orders, we began feeding our son cereal at 4 months.
Just keep trying. Be sure to make it more like soup consistency at first rather than oatmeal consistency.
If you are bottle feeding, try giving her more ounces per bottle and/or stepping up to the faster flow nipple.
Good Luck.
