We started our food journey on Saturday and it didn't go as I'd hoped. I think it's safe to say that Kyle is not a fan of peas. After giving them to him, I'm hearing from almost everyone that their baby didn't like peas, either - so I'm hoping our next attempt veggie will go over a little better.
It's crazy how many schools of thought are out there regarding how to introduce solids. I'm reading so many books & blogs and getting advice from everyone, and it's all over the board. Many people are saying that rice cereal is no longer necessary and to start with a sweet potato, apple or avocado... but for now we're going to follow the path recommended by our pediatrician: start with rice cereal for 2-3 weeks, then introduce green veggies (along with rice cereal) for 2-3 weeks, then replace the cereal with orange veggies and continue feeding him green/orange veggies until our 9 month check up, when we can start on fruit.
Kyle responded great to the cereal (I mix with breast milk, he loves it and it didn't give him any digestive problems), and I'm hoping to find some green/orange veggies that Kyle loves. We'll keep trying something new every 3 days, and we'll see how it goes. I'm not opposed to introducing some intro fruits as well if necessary, but figure I might as well give this plan a shot and see how it goes.
Any food advice is welcome!
