Rice cereal, Oatmeal, or skip to puree veggies/fruits? 6 months old

Question

I've heard to skip cereal because no nutritional value then I've heard they need the iron from it. I fed her baby food just to see how she did and she loved it.

Answer

We didn’t even realize purées and did blw.

Answer

We skipped purées all together except for the convenience of pouches and applesauce on the go.

Answer

i did quinoa to let my little one get a feel of food and the consistency and then went straight to baby led weaning(i breast feed as well all throughout the day) it’s amazing and such a joy to watch your little one discover food! i was so scared about choking until i tried it and he has never choked, gagged yes because it tasted gross but it great! i suggest you give it a try

Answer

We used oatmeal just long enough to get him used to the texture of food. We slowly increased the thickness of the cereal to let him adjust to eating with a spoon

Answer

I did baby cereal with all 3, because of the iron, and to get the used to digesting something besides breast milk.

Answer

Rice cereal has basically 0 nutritional value. We just let my son chew on soft fruits and soft cooked veggies instead of purees and he loved oatmeal

Answer

We skipped all of those. She just started eating off put plate at 6 months old.

Answer

Rice cereal can cause pretty bad constipation & there’s not much nutritional value. Oatmeal sat a lot better with my son, but we pretty much went right to veggies first, then fruit.

Answer

We did baby led weaning. No purées at all

Answer

I mixed cereals into purees when my son was little. He wouldn't way the cereal by itself. We only did that because I have a gluten allergy and wanted early exposure, so I mixed wheat and barley cereals into his food.
