Starting foods!

Who has started foods yet, and when did your baby like them? We have offered baby food 5 times and he HATES it! He will gag, cry, and lock his lips shut. Won't even want to chew on the spoon himself and he chews on EVERYTHING. I want to give him time so he doesn't have a bad association with it but do I keep trying every once in a while? We have done cereal, banana, and sweet potatoes all mixed with fresh breast milk. So far sweet potatoes he didn't cry about at least 🤷🏼‍♀️ He breast feeds every 2 hours still, so I feel like he is needing more substance. Also is so interested in our food and other babies food.

Picky eater 🥲. My nephew was this way. Put everything on his lip and let him lick it off. Just a small dab

Also, try the little sucker with holes!

You could try waiting a little longer before offering purees. As far as him still eating every two hours, you could try increasing the amount of fat that is in your milk. Or you can try what I did. My son is aggressive when it comes to eating. I had a slice of pizza and he immediately grabbed it so I gave him the crust to gnaw on. You’d be surprised at how it satisfied him without him actually eating it

I've let him try butternut squash, and i let him just taste flavors of my food sometimes but not really giving him solids like that yet. He would love to though lol

@Keisha this!!! It works wonders. We put fruit inside and she can entertain herself for more than 5 minutes 🤣

I gave my son carrots and apple purees. Apple he is fond of. Steamed, softened and pureed. At this age, its' just an introduction to different flavors and textures . I started a week ago, he is almost 6 months and when he began to stare at us eating and tried to show interest.

@Mili i'M glad to know they work lol. I just purchased them because he grabbed my hand while I was eating.
