So Brax is at the age that we can start solids... well not really solids but that is what they call them =) We started him on cereal the week before his 4 month check up. His sleeping had been SO off and he was waking up SOOOO many times during the night that we were for sure that he was just hungry. WELL... ending up he hated it! The first night was so easy, he ate it all and did very well. From that point on he never ate it again. HAHA. He fought and fought and fought. My thinking was that he just was not ready. I just knew that starting him a week early was the reason, but it has yet to get any better. By the time we were even to the point of making any kind of dent in the bowl he was literally clamping his mouth shut and not letting any more of that yucky stuff in. I was determined to not give up, so we kept trying night after night with no prevail. I was also so nervous to tell the dr that we had started him on cereal a week early but she was SO ok with it and even asked me about solid foods before I could tell her. I told her what had been happening and she said that some babies just don't like the rice cereal so to give him oatmeal.... well long story short he hates that too. HAHA. I am thinking that it is the texture. The doctor said that if this was the case and he did not like it then to just go on with the veggies. So, last night was his first night to start peas. He did really really well. And did really well tonight too!!! Tonight I even mixed a tiny bit of cereal in the peas with a tiny bit of water to try and get him used to some kind of texture. He ate all of it!!!! Next we will try green beans then avocados!

Are you mixing formula in with his cereal?? And not just water? I had that problem with ayden mixed in his formula never had a problem since :)
yes formula... I have tried everything. I even tried juice in it and he still hated it!!!! I have tried it thin I have tried it applesauce consistency... EVERYTHING! haha
Haha that boy just don't like cereal! Lol your probably right about the texture though he probably doesn't like it because of that :) I think these boys need t slow down they are growing up WAY too fast!
I agree. He learned how to roll over this week and now he will NOT stay on his back. HAHA. I lay him down on his play mat and he rolls over then he gets back because he does not like his stomach for that long and he does not know how to get back over. OR last night he would be asleep in my arms and I would lay him down in his crib and he would wake up and immediately roll over and start screaming because he did not want to be on his stomach. haha..All I could do was laugh.
