I eat a cup a day minimum! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165599 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:58:33 +0000 hilsy85 1165599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: warning, he might become a berry addict like my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165590 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:56:25 +0000 cmomma17 1165590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yay! C will thank you when he tastes delicious berries for the first time! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165581 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:54:31 +0000 hilsy85 1165581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: yup I give lots of frozen berries! I just defrost them in the microwave or thaw them on the counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165577 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:53:41 +0000 cmomma17 1165577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I eat berries every morning in my oatmeal so I wanted to share. I like the idea of feeding baby what mom/dad is eating (within reason). The berries I currently have are frozen though since there aren't many good fresh berries at the store anymore right now. Would you give frozen berries? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165467 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:14:26 +0000 hilsy85 1165467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: go for it! I think we did strawberries, blue berries and raspberries at 6.5 months? He adores them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165418 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 09:02:09 +0000 tinyperson 1165418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once she had had a few things on their own, I started combining them. From that point I tried to give her just one new thing a day, but didn't limit her to just that food that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165404 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:59:15 +0000 cmomma17 1165404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: oh really? Man I've got to keep up with the news better! I've been dying to give LO some berries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165387 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:50:02 +0000 Adira 1165387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm just going to hope that food allergies are genetic, in which case Xander should be okay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165384 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:47:30 +0000 hilsy85 1165384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: ha no!! Don't worry :) Just like anything else, it's a recommendation not a hard and fast rule! I don't think my DH had a ton of foods til he was like 2 and he has no allergies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165371 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:41:05 +0000 Adira 1165371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Oh great, Xander's screwed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165364 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:39:02 +0000 hilsy85 1165364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we stopped after a few weeks...also I think the recommendation is now to introduce "high allergenic" foods like peanut butter, eggs, berries, etc at 6 months, unless you have a family hx of allergies--I think new findings show that introducing early helps reduce risk of allergic reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165357 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:37:30 +0000 birdofafeather 1165357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have up after day two. Ha. But I still watch for reactions. She hasn't had any yet (9 months old). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165144 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:17:11 +0000 Adira 1165144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Ours didn't either, haha. But our last appointment was at 6 months and Xander was totally resisting eating anything, so we didn't have a big in depth conversation about it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165142 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:15:12 +0000 cmomma17 1165142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: yeah we don't have any food allergies either. I think we will keep being a little cautious for the first month or so at least. Plus we are avoiding the high allergy risk foods for the first year. I'm just impatient! :)<br /> Did your ped say anything about food allergies? Ours didn't at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165138 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:09:53 +0000 Adira 1165138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I have the same issue - Xander has ezcema and I have seasonal allergies, so I'm nervous about him being allergic! Although Hubs and I don't have any food allergies, so maybe he'd be okay...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165135 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:05:46 +0000 cmomma17 1165135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: LOL. My friend who made the college comment above hasn't followed the "rules" at all. Her LO is over a month younger than mine and he has had yogurt, bread, oatmeal, fruit, RIBS!! And he's still alive! </p> <p>C has ezcema though, and I have seasonal allergies so we should probably be cautious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165127 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:00:29 +0000 Smurfette 1165127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave up after a week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165125 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:00:16 +0000 cmomma17 1165125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: when we do something brand new (like sweet potato today) we give him just that food alone. But after the first time he's had two foods in one day (avocado and banana, oatmeal an banana). I keep getting excited about new foods I'd like to try, but when I start counting days I think, geez, we probably won't get to that until January!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165123 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 06:58:23 +0000 Adira 1165123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to know this too! Xander is almost 8 months and we're still doing one at a time! Though part of that is because we had a really slow start and haven't been doing it every day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-keep-doing-one-at-a-time#post-1165108 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 06:50:22 +0000 cmomma17 1165108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing baby led weaning with my 6 month old LO. We give each food for three days before trying something new. So far he has had three days of banana, three days of oatmeal, three days of avocado, and today we started sweet potato. How long do we keep up the one food at a time pace? My mom friend joked that "he'll be in college before he ever eats a sandwich" :) </p>
