LO is 6 months, we’ve introduced a few foods already (including puréed beef liver and ground beef mixed w/ broccoli) but would love to know what other parents are doing.
We were looking into Earth’s Best Organic Oatmeal but I read terrible reviews, so we’ve decided against it.
Any other ideas? We’d like to avoid any synthetically enriched grains.
Plate vs Ate for 6.5 month old featuring: homemade applesauce with cinnamon, oatmeal with egg crumbles mixed in, and egg strips!
Solid Starts recommended we try egg strips and I was so nervous 🫣 but she did great! She chowed down on the egg strips, demolished the apple sauce (always a favorite), and barely touched the oatmeal. She is apparently not a fan as this is her third time completely rejecting oatmeal lol
Up until this point my 9 month old has been amazing with food - trying anything we put in front of him, demolishing everything we put on his plate. For the last few days he’s just been throwing everything on the floor. We’ve tried the whole don’t react, we’ve just picked it up off the floor and put it back on his plate (within reason) or just waited before giving him another piece to eat. Because he has eaten so well until this point we are really struggling to understand why he’s doing it so suddenly and how we can actually make sure he’s eating enough. We can spoon feed him to a point but then he just gets frustrated that he can’t do it himself.
He had some peanut butter on toast this morning and he probably ate 4 bites before everything we gave him was on the floor.
I’ve seen that it’s likely some sort of developmental/attention seeking stage, but going from having such a good eater to now throwing everything - it’s a big jump!
Hi, everyone! I need some advice and suggestions from you all. ❤️
My baby turned 6 months old two weeks ago. On our doctor’s advice, I started introducing solids when she was around 5.5 months old. However, she hasn’t been eating anything so far. Whenever I offer her a spoonful, she tastes it, makes a funny face, and spits it right out!
This has become a regular thing, and I’m starting to worry about whether she’s getting enough nutrition. 🥺
Experienced moms, please share any tips, tricks, or things you tried that helped your babies accept solids. I’d love to hear what worked for you!
So far, I’ve tried apple, banana, sweet potato, egg, and ragi porridge, but she still refuses to eat.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ❤️
My baby turns one and will be switching to whole milk from formula. He has zero interest in solid foods but does purées really well.
I need help with what to pack him for daycare and how much?
Also how do y’all send milk? I say daycare, but he’s kept by a woman who stays home with her 2 kids.
Not looking for medical advice, just your experiences! I already have an email into the doctor and just waiting for her call.
Weds 11:00 AM - gave his third trial of sesame, went fine, monitored for 2 hours and no reaction
Weds 5:30/6:00 PM - gave small amount of egg/pumpkin/apple bake (small amount because he hated the recipe), he has had egg 8-9 or so times already with no reaction. Bedtime at 7 but seemed fine til then. Didn’t notice any rash but I guess that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
Thurs 8:00 AM changing him for the day, notice spotty rash all over belly and a little bit on back and neck. Not so much his face.
Thurs 12:00 noon still apparent.

Could it be from the egg? I don't think it'd be from sesame as that was early in the day due to being a new allergen. Could it have been egg and we just didn't notice the previous night? There were no hives, swelling, face reaction, etc.
