We started our son on oatmeal too. After turning 6 mos, we've been giving him some either at breakfast or before bed. Starting this weekend, we're upgrading to sweet potatoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-solids-for-the-first-time-last-night#post-266473 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:12:45 +0000 Honeybee 266473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: He was! We should've done it sooner, lol, but we were trying to hold out until the 6 month limit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tried-solids-for-the-first-time-last-night#post-266467 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:09:54 +0000 pinkcupcake 266467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: that's great!!

We were trying to hold off until 6 months per our doctor, but we decided last night to just go for it with DS, who is 5 months tomorrow. He's been showing signs of readiness for like a month, and boy was he ready! He gobbled the whole bowl down like he'd been eating solids his whole life!</p> <p>The best part: he only woke up to eat one bottle last night. Phew! The last couple weeks he's been taking up to 20 oz a night, so moving back down to only 10 oz was such a relief! </p>
