Oatmeal cereal not so good?

Question

So my son pediatrician instructed to start trying cereal a few times daily in small amounts. I tried it the first time just now and he just doesn't likes it lol. Is there anything u can add to it to make it more appealing to his taste buds? He loves fruit so I thought maybe add a bit of baby food for flavor.... First time mom!

Answer

Don't give up after one try. Continue to offer it over and over again. He's more likely to take it once it becomes familiar.  Think of the first time you tried booze vs now.

Answer

My daughter loves these where they have the fruit flavor but we also would add some fruit baby food to the plain as well and she enjoyed it.

Answer

You can add the fruit into it. I did that with my first one. It was the only way he ate it.

Answer

So babies are really temperamental... what he doesn't like today he might like two days from now. Just keep offering it to him, he might take it one day! And yes after three days of just cereal, we started mixing in one kind of fruit or veggie purée. My daughter especially loves when we add a fruit to it- just like a teaspoon or so. Our pediatrician said one food every three days so if your baby reacts you know what they are sensitive to- that's why I wouldn't mix a baby puree into the cereal until he's had it for at least three days without a reaction.

Answer

You can add some fruit to it if you want. Honestly we just skipped it. My son hated it and I didn't see the point. I'm a FTM as well and my son is 6 months. He has had apples, bananas, pears, prunes, carrots, peas, sweet potato and avocado! He loves eating, but hates cereal lol.
