first foods- after cereal

Just curious what everyone started DC on after you cycled through the cereals?

I plan on making my own baby food and wanted to know where to start!

Re: first foods- after cereal

I started with Rice and Oatmeal and then I moved on to fruits - apples and pears.

I stuck with those for awhile and then added in peaches, bananas and prunes.

I've introduced carrots and sweet potatoes veggie wise and we're doing squash tomorrow and green beans at the end of the week.

We started cereal early. At 4months we started all the fruits and at 5 months we started orange and yellow veggies.

ok thanks ladies- we did rice, then oatmeal and now barley- my Dr suggested that. I was thinking of trying something next week but my dr suggests waiting till 6 months to start fruits- not sure why. DS is 5 months- we started cereal at 4 months

Re: first foods- after cereal

I did rice cereal, oatmeal and mixed grains. I make my own organic food too. That was at 4 months. Then I made apples, pears, bananas, peaches, papaya, mango, avocado, apricots, cherries. Then at 5 months I've done zucchini, carrots, spinach and sweet potatoes. I have broccoli, green beans, butternut squash, acorn squash, and peas all frozen and ready to go when we get to them.

My ped said 5 months but, we started pears around 4 1/2 because the rice was giving him a hard time with pooping (we couldn't do oatmeal only because it made him too gassy).
