First foods

Anyone started giving table food to their little peanut?  What foods and what age did you start?

Too cute!  Can't blame him for rejecting "paste" Aka rice cereal heehee

Seems as though rice cereal was a bust. He ate peas a couple days in a row, which seemed to work okay for him.  Then we moved onto squash and he loved it so much he was literally diving for the spoon!  Too funny.

Happy five months!!!

Brandi we have a highchair like that too but it can be a stand alone or it can be attached to a chair. What a neat invention :)

My little one is five months old today and we decided to try giving him some rice cereal.  While he certainly didn't reject it, he wasn't quite sure what to do with it once it was in his mouth, so most ended up on his chin and bib.  I think it was a good start, though!  We'll keep practicing. :)

I have the fisher-price space saver high chairs that strap to a dining room chair & go from newborn all the way to toddler (the seat reclines for newborns, sits up for bigger infants, and the back comes off as a booster chair for toddlers). It works best for me with have twins & it's a huge space saver! I have the bumbos, but never actually thought about using them to feed.

Lil_lady:

What kind of oatmeal are they talking about?  Baby oatmeal is just the same granual size and thickness depends upon how much liquid is mixed into it. I use breastmilk and make it VERY liquidy. I could see why adding rice cereal would help for her maybe some extra calories :) great idea too for when they have a cold!
