Kind of my compromise of wanting her to get the iron from the ceral but not have it simply be 'empty carbs'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-826797 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:37:26 +0000 MarieJ 826797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with bananas.

I give her bite size pieces of the foods. call me paranoid but hey! im paranoid :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-826731 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:17:31 +0000 immabeetoo 826731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mix of homemade chunky purees and finger foods and a silicone/mesh feeder starting at six months.

I basically want to work my way up to BLW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-823660 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:52:32 +0000 lemondrop 823660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried rice cereal, which he hated. I tried it too- nasty, so we went right to purees until I got more comfortable to try BLW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-823646 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:41:20 +0000 Andrea 823646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did puréed foods </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-823560 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 07:36:10 +0000 heffalump 823560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made her brown rice cereal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-823554 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 07:34:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 823554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until he was over 6 months old and went straight to finger foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-poll#post-823546 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 07:18:50 +0000 Mrs. Polish 823546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you do? </p>
