I made her brown rice cereal.

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.

Purées first at 5.5 months, moved onto some finger foods around a month later and now at 8 months he's almost exclusively on finger/table foods.

Pureees and then finger foods. I was to freaked out to do blw at 6 months. We did it at 8 months

homemade purees at one week shy of 6 months. Then BLW at around 7.5 months.

We never did rice cereal.

We started purees at 5 months but went straight to finger foods at 6 months and never looked back!

His first meal was rice cereal, but we had moved on to purees in less than a week.

@Mrs. Chen: I have a love affair with the baby brezza. it's so easy to use - and I even use it to steam veggies for hubs and myself while I cook other dishes!

we started with purees and now at 8 months, she'll eat finger foods as well (after she eats a few oz of pureed food). but I don't do BLW in the sense of - here is a banana. I give her bite size pieces of the foods. call me paranoid but hey! im paranoid

straight to organic veggie purees, introducing fruit purees a little later.
at 7.5m, he is on a mix of finger foods and his purees.

We started with a mix of pureed food, breast milk and brown rice cereal all together. Kind of my compromise of wanting her to get the iron from the ceral but not have it simply be 'empty carbs'.

@SORRYCHARLIE: good to know!! i was on the fence for the longest time about the brezza. everyone was telling me not waste money on a baby food maker and buy a regular blender/processor instead but i just love the convenience of it steaming and blending all in one. plus, i'm a big slacker in the kitchen! i'm all for saving time and less dishes to wash. can't wait to try it!
