He loves pickles. Odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488951 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:51:34 +0000 BelugaBean 488951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with rice cereal which she didn't really like so we moved onto sweet potatoes. She's liked most actual foods but doesn't really care for the cereals (she's had rice and oatmeal so far and we plan to try brown rice soon). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488943 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:49:29 +0000 littlek 488943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with oatmeal at 6 months and have since added sweet potato. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488920 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:45:20 +0000 HLK208 488920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado mixed with breast milk at 5.5 months, she hated it! Then we moved into squash, sweet potatoes, peas and peaches. She eats it all now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488919 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:45:09 +0000 Freckles 488919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did gross cereals. I think i started her on brown rice cereal mixed with breast milk. Her first "real" food was yams. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488907 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:42:21 +0000 Weagle 488907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado slices around 6 months. She really just played with it. Other than mum mums, we didn't try again until Christmas (7 months). She fed herself green beans and grilled zucchini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488849 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:25:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 488849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado at 4.5 months.

She LOVES them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-foods#post-488836 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:19:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 488836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you first give your LO real food, and what was it (anything other than breast milk/formula--rice cereal, purees, etc etc).</p> <p>At our 2 month appointment our pedi said we could start giving him rice cereal at 4 months but we decided to hold off until 6 months, and want to start with something a little bit more interesting, like eggs or avocado (even though personally, ick, lol). </p>
