3 day food rule question & excel chart of solids
Two questions actually..
When you give a new food, what kind of reaction exactly are you looking for?
Also, is 2 days enough or does it have to be 3 days? Wholesomebabyfood actually says 4 days! I feel like we'll never get through all of the foods that way.
Oh and if anyone wants, because I'm totally wacky, I made a list of all of the foods to try for 6 months - 11 months based on wholesomebabyfoods.com and Cooking For Baby book. I put 6 months, then 7-8 months, then 9-11 months. All alphabetized in an Excel chart with food, dates tried, & reaction. I could email to whoever if you want it  [but again, it's based on a combination of those 2 sources, so some of the recommendations may be different than your doctor/book, so go with whatever you feel comfortable doing!]

You are a nut
We usually did 3 or 4 days actually, and Christopher had one reaction--to bananas--and he got a rash on his torso.
So I guess look for rashes, vomit, etc...all that fun stuff

Yep for your first kid you do all this "crazy" stuff. For the next kid you just feed them whatever you have for as many days as you feel like it (because the days all blur into one and you don't remember how many days you fed them the new food).

Oh also... how long until he "gets it"
Right now he's just pushing the food out, well more like spitting it our purposefully... how long until he actually EATS it?

Love spreadsheets and could use a few new food ideas.
I learned from my egg experience with Julia, flushing of the face/skin is a reaction. It wasnt just hot in the house on the first day

Re: 3 day food rule question & excel chart of solids
does he do that with the cereal too or just noticed it with the pears.. may just mean he wasn't crazy about the pears...if he is doing that with everything..it may just mean he is getting used to eating the solids and just keep trying.

We decided to skip cereal
He did it with creme brulee and whipped cream too

Re: 3 day food rule question & excel chart of solids
If he is pushing it out with his tongue he's not ready. Spitting it out with pursed lips either means that:
a. he didn't like it
b. he has found a new, fun thing to do with his lips
For DS, it was both a and b!
ETA: I did the 3 day rule for most things but got lazy as he got older.

Re: 3 day food rule question & excel chart of solids
I would like the list too please - you should have my email from FB I think? If not, let me know.
We did three days with each new food. The only reaction I ever saw was a facial rash on Christian from mangos. Also extreme GAS from apples .
