Aww yay for him liking the cereal. I think
you can give him veggies now, he's such a
big boy and I'm sure the doctor would give
the go ahead. You might wanna make sure
though.. it's up to you.
He's such a cutie

Aww .I'm glad .Finn like his cereal! When
I started .Kaylee on her cereal we waited
a few weeks until she was used to it
before we tried veggies but it's all up to
you! .Kaylee gets awful belly aches
everytime I try veggies with her so we're
still going to wait a while yet but if you
think he's ready, .I'd go ahead & try
it! I wanna see some messy veggy face
pictures

thanks girls!
we got the go ahead for starting solids
the other day at his appointment, i just
don't remember what he said about when to
start veggies. i'm assuming the cereal is
just to get them used to eating, right? he
knew exactly what he was doing with the
cereal so maybe i'll try some carrots
tomorrow. i hope they don't bother his
tummy!

i did see the article, i just thought rice
cereal would be a good thing to start off
with since he's never tasted anything but
formula before. i just wanted to get him
used to the consistency and whatnot. he
did great though so i think i'm going to
give him some carrots tomorrow.

awww, I'm glad he likes cereal! I would
think you can start veggies soon, cereal
is basically their "practice" food for
their fruits and veggies. He's sooooo
cute!

I don't think there is any specific order
that you have to feed your baby in, but I
think they advise waiting a few days in
between introducing new foods so that if a
food allergy/sensitivity pops up, it will
be easier to identify which one/ones cause
your baby problems...easier to identify a
problem food if there's never been a
reaction to one, then when a new one is
introduced there is tummy ache or
discomfort..then that one can be put on
hold for a while and tried again
later...that said..I never had any
problems with foods that I fed my
babies..I started with the cereals
(mildest) first, then veggies, then
fruits...but again, there are no set in
stone rules about all that...for the most
part, I avoided store bought
foods...steamed, pureed and froze just
about everything in ice cube trays, then
defrosted a cube or two as needed...it was
just more of a personal choice, but I
enjoyed doing it and it actually worked
out to be a whole lot less expensive (and
my kids had foods they wouldn't have tried
otherwise)...good luck with the
feeding..he really seemed to enjoy the
cereal....which brings to mind...I have a
picture of my firstborn covered in his
first "popsicle"..plain yogurt mixed with
grape juice and frozen in those popsicle
trays they sell in dollar stores..he LOVED
it!!! haha...a good, healthy treat for a
VERY picky eater..haha..anyway, good
luck...

due to the way taste buds develop *most*
babies (not all by a long shot) will
prefer orange/yellow veggies and fruits
first.
green veggies and fruits are likely to
taste bitter to young babies and
children.
this taste bud development is often the
reason why kids suddenly hate food they
have previous liked
