Interesting article on introducing solids: What do you guys think??
"Larissa" wrote in message
oups.com... Rice cereal also is not just pure rice. There are a couple of other things in it, the Heinz? one had rosemary extract. I know of a couple of babies who have reacted to rice cereal and it is notorious for causing constipation. I ended up using it for thickening up some of my own vegie and fruit purees. I can't understand why so many people feel they have to start on rice cereal too, especially if as you say it's constipating. DD has never had commercial baby cereal, but when I did give her rice it was wholegrain brown rice that I ground or mashed. Sure, rice is easily digested, but I've heard wholegrains aren't recommended before seven months, and it seems crazy to take something like that and strip it down just to make it easier for a younger baby to digest (there's a woman on another board whose paediatrician told her to start her baby on rice cereal at 8 weeks, now it's 3 months old and he says it should be having three feeds of solids a day, and on veges by 6 months - very disturbing). There are so many great grains at the healthfood store that hardly anyone considers giving to their baby. DD has had quinoa, buckwheat, millet and amaranth. Millet and amaranth together make an especially smooth, great tasting porridge. -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051009/...aby_food_myths "Ditch the rice cereal and mashed peas, and make way for enchiladas, curry and even - gasp! - hot peppers. It's time to discard everything you think you know about feeding babies. It turns out most advice parents get about weaning infants onto solid foods - even from pediatricians - is more myth than science." Correction - that should read *especially* from paediatricians. -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

Cooked sweet potato. regular banana, maybe scraped off the banana, but she'll sometimes just grab the whole thing and chomp at it. I watch her like a hawk when she's eating in general--if it's too much she opens her mouth and I flick whatever's in, out. Whole grain rice... she LOVES with olive oil. What we had the other night for us (mashed sweet potato with bananas and lite coconut milk and cinnamon) was awfully close to what she ate (chunkier sweet potato and banana with full fat coconut milk.) I'm starting her on meats next. She's 7 months old in a day or two. Jenrose |
