I am going to start Olivia on solids this weekend! I've been holding off as long as I could, but she's ready. She is 5 months and 1 week, I was trying to hold off until 6 months, but she is showing such an interest in MY food. I can't wait anymore! As much as I appreciate everyone giving me there homemade meals for her a few months ago, I am going to give her jarred food. I may still try it with some things, but having the time to prepare some things just doesn't quite fit into our crazy lifestyle sometimes! I am not completely ruling it out, just for now it will be easier on me.
Matt wants to be here when I feed her so he can videotape it. So I figured the weekend will be a good time! Her pediatrician didn't specify what to start her on, but my sister said her pediatrician recommended doing light colored veggies to dark colored veggies. I had already bought green beans so I called my friend Stacie. We have the same pediatrican and she said she started her daughter on green beans too. I thought to start her on green beans since its not as sweet as sweet potatoes or something and we would work our way to the sweeter things. I figure since the doctor didn't specify and I looked things up online and it didn't specify that she should be ok with the green beans.
I will take pictures and post them after we feed her. I am excited! I hope she takes after me and likes vegetables! Matt hates them!

My dr just said to start them on veggie because if you start with fruits they won't at the veggies. Also do the same on for a few days so you know if they have any problems with each one. If you give them a bunch of different ones and they break out or something you don't know what the problem is.
Yeah, that is what I thought about starting her on veggies. I thought she will like fruits and not like veggies if I start her on fruits.
what about cereal? Our dr said that they should start on a one grain cereal first because it has very little to make them sick or complicate their systems...once that works...you add a veggie to the cereal.
I've been giving her cereal for about 3 weeks now. Its in her formula. Tonight and tomorrow I am going to spoon feed it to her to get her used to eating from the spoon.
We were always told vegetables first and fruit second. I think we had a couple months between the two groups.
we were told ice cream first, that's weird!
We were told to start with steak!
