I don't even remember. A long time ago.
Probably about when we seriously started
on solids... At first i'd just give him a
little milk in it for practice... Now
he's an old pro!!!

I started .Adriana pretty young because I
didn't want to give her juice in a bottle.
So like .Kay said, when they start solids
and can have juice. In our case she was
able to have juice as soon as she started
solids. So I think she was about 4 or 5
months old.

We're on stage 1 foods and rice cereal...
Does that count as "solids" solids? 
.I want to try her out with water but .I'm
not sure if she'll know what to do with
the cup. She's breastfed so she's not
really familiar with bottles.
*sigh* .I'm
so lost!

Most websites suggest that you put a
little of whatever tasty substance is in
the sippy cup onto the spout, and then put
it up to .Aly's lips so it helps her to
figure out there might be something in it
for her.

Yes ma'am, those certainly do count as
solids!
And she won't be able to hold it of
course, but just hold it up to her mouth
and see what she does...She'll get the
hang of it. See if it helps to put a bit
of water on the spout so she knows
somethings in there.

You're welcome!
Wow, talking about .Aly using sippy cups
makes her seem so grown up! Why do they
all have to grow up so quick?

Not yet! I wanted to get the different
stage 1 foods out of the way (to test for
allergies) before changing her cereal. We
still have prunes and peas to go. She
haaaates peaches and applesauce  and looooves yellow
squash (like her mommy!). She really
seems to like rice cereal (which pretty
much tastes like nothing) so I try to cut
her stage 1 stuff with that.
Mandi: I know! She was just in
my tummy!  soon
she's going to be like " 
go away mom"

So far .Noah has liked everything we have
tried. I have sweet potatoes to start
tomorrow. We haven't tried peas or
peaches yet. He loves pears and carrots!
Hopefully .I won't have a picky eater.
He's been easy so far!
How many times per day are you feeding her
cereal and fruits/veggies?

Ooh I forgot about carrots. Crap. I
thought I was nearly done!
.Alyvia...
Loves: yellow squash
tolerates: sweet potatoes, bananas, pears,
green beans
hates: peaches, applesauce
i try to feed her 3 "meals", but she's
very dramatic. I'm lucky to get two in
her. Usually she cries for the boob and
refuses the spoon if she's in a pissy mood
(which is pretty often )

Can't forget about them carrots! They
are my favorite so that's why we tried
them first! Lol
we do 2 "meals" per day and he seems so
content with that. (of course he nurses
also). I'm dreading weaning him.
Especially his last feeding. (bedtime)
he needs a boob to go to bed!
