First solid foods for babies

Teeth already?!! I'm definitely not looking forward to that. Sounds like
she's doing great.

I am so looking forward to the day I hear her say those words. I was
pretty
excited when she smiled the first time, when she looked directly into my
eyes, when she stopped crying as I held her, when her teeth came
in.......ah
heck, I'm excited by it all!

By the way, she had her check up yesterday. She is 26.5" tall, which puts
her in the 96th percentile. She weighs 16lbs 11 oz....somewhere around
the
86th percentile. Amazing!!

I will hold off on solids for as long as I can. I'm anticipating the 6
month mark. No sense in starting them now.

Hello Stan,

The first solid food my baby had was black rice - steamed, then
blended with EBM. Later on, you can add fruit (apples, pears, bananas)
- my DD (today 10 months old) loves it.

Hello, all...

Our little boy is six months old and appears ready for solid foods. (He
has been exclusively breast-fed until now.) His pediatrician has
recommended starting him on cereals, but we do not think that cereals
are good choices for a baby's first solid foods, so we are wondering if
any of you would share your experiences and recommendations on the
subject. Links to web sites would be appreciated.

TIA,

Stan Marks

I agree with "i" who states that children should not be taught to
depend on the sweet taste. I wish somebody had told me all that when
mine were babies. My oldest son is 37 and still a hopeless Sweetaholic.

Has anyone ever tasted breastmilk?

It's yummy & sweet.

I think they should sell it in the stores.

Human breastmilk is low in protein, and highest in carb content (on a
gram per 100 ml basis). Here's some info:

For anyone who has ever wondered, human breastmilk is akin in taste to
the milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl when you put sugar on the
cereal.

Take care,
Carmen

AIUI, the WHO recommends breastfeeding for two years.

Teeth are not a problem if the baby is latched on correctly. Trust me
on this. Froggie has twelve teeth, I am still (just about) nursing at
19 months, and the least of my problems is her existing teeth.

Oh, gosh, yes. I fed my son till 16 months and my daughter till nearly
3 years. More biting IMHO happens when the teeth are still inside the
gums than when out.

Any baby can be taught not to bite if you just take it off the boob when
it bites.
