He just learned that he could hold the skin and bite the avocado fruit off of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357166 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 15:16:26 +0000 simplyfelicity 2357166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dagny: How do you keep the baby from eating the skin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357165 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 15:15:30 +0000 simplyfelicity 2357165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: how long did you steam the broccoli? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357157 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 15:00:24 +0000 catomd00 2357157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avocado, sweet potato, broccoli, tomatoes, pancakes, banana were some firsts for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357154 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:58:22 +0000 Kemma 2357154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slices of raw fruit (apples, pears etc), toast crusts, oven fries, steamed carrots / pumpkin / kumara, steamed or raw broccoli, pieces of steak / chicken / lamb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357146 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:48:07 +0000 brownepiano 2357146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apples (because they were in season), peppers, watermelon, potatoes, pancakes, banana. We tried avocado on and off but he's never really liked it so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357144 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:47:39 +0000 Anya 2357144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Green beans were first. Perfect for holding onto. Cucumber, broccoli, sweet potatoes, pears.<br /> @Dagny: wow, good idea. Avocados were a big fail over here for that reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357124 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:26:57 +0000 Dagny 2357124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Broccoli, any type of squash (so many options right now), cauliflower, carrots, beets. I started with avocado and sweet potato and those were great. I recommend cutting large slices of avocado with the skin on so that LO can grip them better. I tried first with no skin and it was very difficult for LO to pick up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357121 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:21:14 +0000 FaithFertility 2357121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I semi did BLW...lol<br /> But avocado, sweet potato, bananas and blueberries </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-foods-did-you-start-with-for-blw#post-2357104 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:04:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 2357104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinoff of another post...</p> <p>What food (s) did you start off with? I know to only try a new one every 3 days or so and nothing too sweet. I'm not really interested in rice cereals, etc. I want him to eat what we eat (though this could most certainly change.)</p> <p>Here's what I have on my list...<br /> Avocado<br /> Sweet potato </p> <p>Not much of a list, any other ideas? </p>
