Solid Food Advice

Hi, I am a mom to twin 6 month olds and we have just begun solid foods after being exclusively breastfed. My son is a champ and loves anything I give him, however I am having problems with my daughter. She cries and screams anytime I try to feed her solid foods, basically just refusing to eat; then when I pick her up she roots and roots to be nursed because she is hungry. The Dr. told me to make sure to feed her real food but it's just been a battle. Has this happened to anyone? Can you tell me how to get her to eat and not rely on...

Cereal and Sleep

Hey moms! My daughter will be 4 months on Easter. For the past several months she would wake only 2 times during the night consistently around 1 and again around 5 and then up for good about 8. The last week or so she has been waking every 1-2 hours. I try to let her cry for awhile and then try putting her binkie back in her mouth but she continues with a blood curdling scream. The only way I can get her to stop is to feed her. (She is breastfed.) She only eats for about 2 minutes and then goes right back to sleep so I don't think...

Need Baby Food Recipies

I would love it if some of you mom's had some baby food recipies. My daughter is 9 months & doesn't have any teeth yet. She does eat some table food, like mashed potatoes but I have been making her babyfood as she doesn't like the store-bought kind. I want to make sure she is getting enough vitamins that she is needing. Currently I have been just cooking up food like carrots & putting them in a blender for her to eat. I have also used canned food blended up but would like some more healthy options if anyone has any. Thanks Ladies!

Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

My Husband's Mom Gave My 5-Month Old Banana Bread.....Am I Overreacting?

My Mother-In-law and husband's Grandma (live 2hrs north) were watching my 5-month-old son for about an hour the other day so I could take a much-needed parenting break. They went ahead and gave him a very small piece of banana bread!!!! He is only breastfed and we plan to start him on solids in another month, maybe more, basically after his 6-mo wellness check up. My son vomited soon after. I am not sure if this was due to the bread or what, but I am thinking that it was because he was not running a fever or showing any other signs of...

My Toddler Is Extremely Picky Eater!

My 2.5 year old son is a picky eater. My husband and I are SO frustrated! Our problem lately is that we are trying to be more consistent with having "family dinners" at the table, with the goal of getting him to try new things. We always encourage him in a positive way to just take one bite or just "try it". However, most of the nights we try this, he won't eat anything and then he whines and complains and gets up from the table, but then hangs around the table and begs for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even though we hate to see him...

Booster Seat for Feeding

Hi Moms - My daughter has started solids, and we've been feeding her while she is in her Bumbo. That's working for now, but I know soon I'll need a better solution. We live in a small condo so I was thinking about getting a booster to put on one of our dining chairs, instead of a high chair. I was looking at The First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Feeding Seat, but I know Safety 1st also makes a bunch. Any recommendations on there on either of these? Or any other ones? Thanks!

Table Foods for 9 Month Old

Per the advice of our pediatrician, we are skipping Stage 3 foods and are going right to table foods for our 9 month old daughter. She has 8 teeth and seems to do well with chewing and texture. I am just terribly uncreative when it comes to this. I have given her French toast, crackers, Cheerios, canned and steamed vegetables, spaghetti, small pieces of tender chicken and soup. Is there anything else that your babies love? Also, how much do you expect your kids to eat at this age? I sort of feel like this is more for introducing the...

Introducing Solid Food to a 4 Month Old

I need some advice on how to introduce food to my 4 month old. My doctor went really fast explaining everything and I am not sure exactly what to do. I know that every child is different, but I would really like some sort of schedule to follow. He told me to introduce rice cereal first (she never liked the formulas with rice), so I did. She did not like it after trying it for several days. So, today I tried the oatmeal and I mixed it with a little bit of her formula and water and that seemed to go okay. So, I know that I am supposed...
