Name: briseis [ Original Post ] Well! Today I gave Joey his first taste of solid food! He's exactly 5-months-old now, and I eventually decided to go for it! He had a teaspoonful of HIPP Organic Baby Rice! He pulled some really funny face as though horrified, but he eventually swallowed the lot! I'm putting the photos of it up on Myspace. When do I give him his rice again? Should I wait 4 days or so incase of allergies? Or do I go ahead and give him rice every day now? ↓

no i think you can just keep feeding it to him. just don't give him anything different, so then if there IS a reaction, you'll know what it is!! :-) with Lex i started him off just one meal a day of it, then by 6 months, he was having 1/4 cup in the morning, then some fruit and veggies for lunch, and then another 1/4 rice cereal for dinner. my doc said by 6 months they should have 1/2 cup rice cereal per day. good luck!! :-) when they try new foods for the first time it's so much fun!!! take lots of videos and pictures when they make all those silly faces!!!! what the hell are ya giving to me mom? lol....they peas are the funniest to watch!!! lol ↑

oh yeah....when you first starting them on rice, just give a few teaspoons at a time. they don't need alot at first. they still get everything from their formula/breastmilk. ↑

He can have it every day. As long as there is nothing else if there is a reaction you know it must be that and you can stop. ↑
