Makes sense not to give them over processed grains as a first food - imagine the Glycaemic Index of rice cereal?! Jo (Who gets to experiment with solids in 2 months time!) |

very interesting, particularly the Japanese and radishes, they have the same
radishes in Korea, DH and I, just couldn't get out tastebuds round them, but DS loved them! We fairly much gave DS table food from the start, the only thing he really doesn't eat which we do is salad. Anne |

With #1 I did the recommended approach, which was rice cereal at 4
months. Mashed vegies and pureed fruits next etc. Held off on eggs till 12months, dairy was out for her and peanut butter was about 14months or so. But when she was old enough to toddle around she used to come and eat whatever she wanted off my plate. We eat a lot of asian food, so heaps of garlic, chilli, ginger and various herbs and spices For #2 I did not bother with the rice and went straight to vegies and fruits at 5.5 months, the recommendations had changed to introducing solids at 6 months. He was swiping his sisters peanut butter toast and whatever else he wanted at 7 months. He would also eat off my plate sometimes. #3 was not interested in solids on a regular basis till she was at least 10 months old. She basically went straight to mashed foods and quickly to finger foods. At 22 months she has 2 dinners every night hers and then mine. Her older siblings are not so interested in curries and prefer blander food and the moment. I am sure their tastes will continue to change just to keep me baffled. Like everything else take into account the family history and then take your cue from your baby Larissa |

peanuts)... and possibly dairy until a year, probably... Makes sense not to give them over processed grains as a first food - imagine the Glycaemic Index of rice cereal?! presuming you are doing that because of allergies? being an allergy free family, we weren't worried at all, obviously we supervised DS because of the choking risk with nuts, but now we haven't had to worry about him getting his hands on a nut for nearly a year, because we know he knows what to do because he learnt it at a young age. I was reading a book yesterday that was talking about milestones, DS seems to be way ahead in the area of eating food and ability to use implements, perhaps because of our exceedlingly relaxed attitude to food!

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. Larissa |

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051009/...aby_food_myths Fascinating; I hadn't realised that the recommendation to delay allergens was so poorly grounded in evidence. Here, the recommendations a Start solids at 6 mo. Avoid nuts, strawberries, shellfish until 1yr due to allergy risk. Avoid honey and raw root vegetables until 1yr (botulism risk). Avoid hard foods, popcorn, etc until 1-3 yrs (choking risk). Rice cereal is a recommended starter food, but so are pureed vegies and fruits. I was at an ABA event once doing sales and a woman wanted a list of foods to introduce, *in order*. Of course I couldn't supply it. "It isn't that rigid," I said cheerfully. She becme enraged. "I'M NOT RIGID!" she shouted. Frightening to watch her get so angry so fast.
