Well he isn't drinking his milk normal
today..So I decided to try it. He had
about 5 spoonfuls..( which I think is alot
for a baby). We tried green beans. He
made some funny faces, but he ate it
pretty good for his first time. I just
tried to give him a bottle and he is
refusing it.... Why is he refusing his
bottle all of a sudden?. He usually
drinks 8 oz at a time, every 4 hours.

He is full. More food less milk!!!
Food fills them up differently--especially
if it is his first time. They usually
like carrots and sweet potatoes best at
first--then the green veggies--that is
what I found out. Be careful with the
fruits though, they will love it but it
can easily give them diarhea.

Solids Posted: 08-19-05 02:09am
I started my daughter on baby cereal at 4
months (about 2 years ago) they have since
decided to tell mothers to wait 'till 6
months- but it didn't do my daughter any
harm, and generations of babies were
started on solids at 4 months, and none of
their heads fell off or anything.
If he eats it and enjoys it, why not ? He
seems to like it-5 spoonfulls !!!!
Offer it to him, and keep offering bottle
as well-sometimes they just have a not
very hungry day, and then an absolutle
ravenous day. If he continues to refuse
the bottle outright, or he seems grumpy
and out of sorts, it might be worth having
his ears looked at- sometimes, if they get
an ear infection, sucking and swallowing
causes some pain- and they'll refuse to
take a bottle.
If he seems fine, then he probably is,
you'll know.

My ped told me to start giving my son
cereal 2 weeks ago (he was 6 weeks) he
eats it right off the spoon and
everything.
No sam 4 months is ok if they seem ready
and hungry. Just check to make sure he
poops! I hope he's feeling better today.

Thats not too early, I was cutting up
marinated steak, and purading (sic)
seafood chowder when my child was 2.5
months, and he turned out fine.
