My toddler loves the cereal.<br /> @avivoca: I haven't tried pouches with him. Perhap that might go better. </p> <p>I think we just may hold off on more solids for a little while longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879659 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 08:30:54 +0000 avivoca 1879659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H really didn't get into solids until closer to 8 months. I worried a lot, but she was growing fine on mostly breast milk. Have you tried food in pouches and letting him suck it out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879655 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 08:22:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1879655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's possible he's not ready yet, not all babies are by 6 months. </p> <p>But if he likes fruits and vegetables just fine I would skip cereal. There's no real need for cereal Imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879554 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 01:27:26 +0000 Kemma 1879554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: could there be an ingredient in the cereal that's causing the vomiting? Or maybe it's just too much starch? At least you know he's getting all the good stuff he needs from the breastmilk :-)</p> <p>Fwiw Miss A didn't really get into food until much closer to a year, she didn't want to eat off a spoon but she was happy sucking on finger foods - even if she didn't really digest anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879548 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 00:38:47 +0000 MrsRcCar 1879548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: We may have to try him on banana or avocado. I am just a little worried. N was such an excited eater and boy are these boys different. Plus a little alarming to me that he promptly vomits the cereal up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879542 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 00:11:41 +0000 Kemma 1879542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be that he's just not ready for solids yet? Or maybe he'd do better being offered some soft finger foods like banana or avocado? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nurses-fine-but-solids-not-so-much#post-1879540 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 00:07:39 +0000 MrsRcCar 1879540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So here is another feeding post from me. Sorry in advance. </p> <p>E is 7.5 months old 6.25ish months adjusted. He nurses awesomely and is gaining just fine. However we were encouraged to give solids a go. The first time E had cereal it all came back up, I thought it was a fluke, as he does spit up often. However every time he has cereal he throws it back up. (Legit vomit) Not to mention when he is eating it he just lets it roll around in his mouth. He seems to do ok with plain fruit and veggie purées as long as they are kinda thick. Some problem with it just rolling around in his mouth. He doesn't seem to be excited for food. E seems interested in our food and his brothers food but he isn't excited in his own.<br /> I guess I am just wondering if perhaps we are having some feeding issues due to his premature arrival. He was also tongue and lip tied.<br /> Any suggestions? </p>
