Spinoff to my cereal post

How long did it take DC to get the hang of eating it. This may sound like a stupid question but did you put it in his mouth or to his lips to suck it in?

I read in a magazine that it should be very watery and you shouldn't put the spoon in their mouth...just to the lips and they should suck it in.

I try to put it in his mouth...like on the tip of his tongue.

Re: Spinoff to my cereal post

It took DD a couple of days to get the hang of eating. I made it very soupy in the beginning like the paclkage said and she hated it. she would just let it spill right out of her mouth. after 2-3 days I made it a little thicker and she liked it much better. I put it in her mouth on her tongue.

Almost a mth. My son was a slow starter. It was a frustrating experience. And you are right - the ceareal needed to be almost watery.

Thanks guys. I'll keep trying. He's not even 4 months yet so I don't push it but at the same time I want him to start within the next month.

At Amelia's 4 month check up they told me to give her fruit. When I took Ayla last year at her 4 month check up they told me to start cereal at 4 months.

Since I am a Mom of 3, I do pretty much do what I've been doing in the past. I did start her on some fruits and she loves them.

Re: Spinoff to my cereal post

I started making Kristina's cereal very loose, and she took to it w/i a few days..... Then she started getting Diva ish with it, and didn't want it soupy anymore, so I started thickening it. Now she sits @ her highchair opening her mouth up like a little bird for each spoonful!

rocco started cereal at 5 mos (though i wish i waited till 6) and he had no issues with taking it in. he ate his cereal like a pro - i made it semi runny,thicker than i thought but not where it was pastey if htat makes sense

good luck

We started at 5 mos and he didnt like it even after a few weeks of trying. We took a week off from it and then tried again at 6 mos and he liked it better but likes it much better with fruit now.

NO problem here. DS couldn't wait to get some real food in his mouth. We started at 4 months. Now I can't get it in there quick enough without him yelling at me.
