So, Noahkins has eaten every vegetable and fruit that he's been offered thus far.
At this point, he's exactly 6 mos old corrected age (9 mo actual). He's trying to crawl (he moves around everywhere), sits up with some assistance, or on his own for limited amounts of time, has 5 teeth, is saying da-da, etc... With that said, where should we move to now? Stage 2 foods or a sippy cup, or wait on both? What about quantities of food? Today he had about 30 oz of formula, a full lunch of greenbeans and apple sauce, a container of bananas for a snack and peas and squash for dinner. Piggy!!! What do you gals think? |

Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??

I would just try and see how he does. Has he had any meats? My kids both liked the 2nd stage with a meat and veg or meat and fruit. Maybe try water in a sippy and just see how he does. The Nuby sippy was a hit in our house until she was about 18 months old.

I was wondering about the meats. Particularly if I should try them before I try the multi-ingredient veggies - such as fruit & yogurt, fruit & granola, etc.
What do you think? Or can I just try both now, just continue to space them a few days apart? I cannot believe he's eaten everything -- even green beans!!! ![]() |

Kaitlyn loved the cereal and fruit mixtures....was not really fond of the meats unless it was a meat mixed with apples or pears. I switched Kate to sippy cups around 6 months becuase she just completely refused bottles and it was hard on the DC workers to get her to drink. She was also on the nubbys and loved em. Have you tried any of the bitter biscuits at all...he could gnaw on those(but beware they are so so messy).

I started introducing a sippy at 6 months with MasonI just put a little EBM in it, or a little h2o. It took probably a month till he even got the hang pf what to do with it.
as for the foods, I LOVE this website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/solids.htm I printed out the chart when Mason was small and hung it up for a general guide. but he was eating table foods about a month and a half after he started solids. HTH! |
