I think we did about a month on rice cereal, but the kids really liked rice cereal for some reason.

Hivemom question: how long after the rice cereal introduction can we start on foods that taste good?

We moved pretty quickly into smooshed carrots and such (two weeks after rice cereal?), but Emmett started solids much earlier than most kids.

Maria, you know that I probably have some of the world's finest "catch the braindead-ma" around. Rule 5-ma for the police. "It's good to be good. It's better to be lucky." Maybe he/they will do something dumb and get caught easily because they annoyed their baby's mama or something. If you are going to have a life of crime, it pays to part amicably from your exes.

You just want to wait long enough before introducing other foods that you know she's not allergic to the previous one. If she's tolerating the rice cereal pretty well, you can try something else.

I'd say start with veg, though, because sometimes they get into the sweet fruit a little too happily.

You can also add a little strained veg/fruit to her cereal.

Ahhh, the magic of pureed pears...

He had to learn to gorge and store since she don't feed kids.

I used to date a guy in college whose step-mother locked up all the food. He had issues.

Hurrah for "mama"! Where's the princess pumpkin? (sniff!)

The hygentist couldn't find anything wrong with my teeth or gums so she criticised my choice of floss. I would think at that point, she could have just told me "good job" rather than having to find something wrong.

Sara loved it when I swirled in some baby applesauce or pears. And...extra messy!

That reminds me, I need to cook, puree, and freeze some pears tonight.

So, maybe a week or so with the cereal, and if it's problem-free, onward and upward? Solids right now are mainly to let her explore tastes and textures (mushy through extra mushy!), but I'm still worried about the cereal jamming up the works.

We had Annabel on sweet potatoes and bananas within a week or so of starting rice cereal.

I've actually stopped Mal on the rice completely, but yeah, according to my pede you only have to wait 3 days before introducing a new food to be sure there's no adverse reaction. She also said to keep the new stuff coming. Veggies more than fruit, no carrots, strawberries, or oranges. (or peanuts or fish).

The only thing Mallory likes nearly as much as the rice is banana.

I think I'm going to have to suck it up and go to the dentist. I've got a toothache in my tooth with the filling.
