5 Month Old Starting on Food

Hi Ladies!

My Deeno turned 5 months on the 6th and is already eating rice cereal here and there.

Please let me know what else I can feed him as he gives me a hard time with the rice on some days.

Mushed up banana/avocado/sweet potato. These were Ibrahim's fav!

Re: 5 Month Old Starting on Food

I fed him cereal and pears mixed up with milk today...he liked it.

I'll try bananas next time

Do u feed him new things one at a time? Ibby's doctor strongly advised me to try solids one at a time before mixing them together in case he was allergic to something.

Re: 5 Month Old Starting on Food

I’ve tried pears alone and rice cereal alone…didn’t know about what your doc had suggested. I was just trying to find out what he likes. He has a sweet tooth it seems :cb:

I’ll definitely keep that in mind though!!!

Re: 5 Month Old Starting on Food

Carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, blueberries- he can have all of it! Steam it and purée it or leave it soft enough so he can pick it up himself. Also try oatmeal instead of rice- rice is just pure starch. Mine loves a piece of cold cucumber or apple to chew on when she's teething.
