DD is only 5.5 months so obviously we haven't started grains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2014146 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 17:03:38 +0000 birdofafeather 2014146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months for bread, but i'm sure she had puffs before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013636 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:37:34 +0000 nana87 2013636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HhmmM maybe around 8 months? We eat out more than I'd like to admit and bread is our savior when it comes to keeping her happy at restaurants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013635 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:36:23 +0000 Mae 2013635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: i tried a similar thing. I wanted to only give her veggies first and once she liked those THEN give her fruit. Except she didn't really like any vegetables. and I just wanted her to eat SOMETHING so fruit it was. My LO is a pear-a-holic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013629 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:30:32 +0000 littlejoy 2013629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Puffs are everything. I seriously credit them for having any time for: cooking, dishes, and folding laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013624 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:27:26 +0000 littlejoy 2013624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: Ha! Our LO eats EVERYTHING, except broccoli. She throws it on the floor or saves it until the very end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013618 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:23:57 +0000 CakeLady 2013618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: that's something i was considering. i think LO has a sweet tooth. pears? yum, gobble! broccoli? on the floor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013616 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:22:32 +0000 littlejoy 2013616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until 10 or 11 months. Our doctor said something like, "She will definitely like carbs, so try to focus on whole foods first." ... That really stuck with me. We still rarely give her wheat/gluten/processed foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013499 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:26:14 +0000 Mae 2013499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7.5 months. I wanted her to work on her pincer grasp and most of what I was feeding her (produce) was too slimy for her to pick up when it was in little pieces. So I got some organic gerber puffs to try with her. I was nervous bc she is MSPI and I was afraid she'd be allergic to wheat, but she had no issues and she looooooves the puffs. Carb addict like her mama lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013462 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:12:07 +0000 CakeLady 2013462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like it would be ok to give him a little bread if he's interested. Though I might try to get him into a few more fruits and veggies first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013373 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 10:24:47 +0000 Pumuckl 2013373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with tiny amounts of wheat/gluten early (after 4 months). He started gnawing on bread at around 7/8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013329 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:59:59 +0000 Greentea 2013329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I did until after a year. As a toddler we do lots of french toast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013320 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:59:15 +0000 blackbird 2013320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 7/8 months? We started giving her puffs and she wanted slices of bread to gum on. </p> <p>I don't think kids need bread necessarily (but it's so yummy!), but if you plan on consuming it around them....it's going to be impossible to keep it away from them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013315 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:55:17 +0000 CakeLady 2013315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: a slice of baguette was what DS was after :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013295 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:48:14 +0000 lamariniere 2013295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 months. My DH is French, so bread is a part of daily life. We started with either bits of baguette (essentially white bread) or whole wheat or spelt toast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-introduce-wheat#post-2013286 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:45:52 +0000 CakeLady 2013286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 7 months, and are doing a mix of purees and finger foods. He seems to have lost interest in purees and only wants to eat pear slices and steamed carrot sticks. Everything else he throws on the floor. He did try to eat a slice of bread that I was eating, but he hasn't had wheat yet. </p> <p>When did you first offer bread or pasta? Are there particular brands/types that are better for a beginning eater? Does LO even need to eat bread or should I stick with fruits and veggies? </p>
