Great to see you guys over here.

I'm here! It's islandbride from WC.

Roman is good except he is having BM issues (sorry, TMI!). I think it's because of the solids, except he is on week 2 of solids and we just recently started having problems. How are all of your kiddos taking solids?

Right now he is on rice cereal and his ped advised us against giving him any more solids for a month. When we start him again, we will probably go straight to oatmeal and veggies.

seattleguamgirl when we first started solids with Maya, she was only eating rice cereal also. We had major BM issues. lol Somtimes a whole week.

Now that she's eating veggies and fruits, she is going every day. But now she has real POOP! lol It's gross and smelly. I miss her breast milk poopies.

Our ped also recommended waiting until 6 months to start solids, but Maya was too hungry to wait. She was nursing every hour during the day and it was so hard to do anything. I mainly give her veggies. I've been making my own baby food. It's so easy! My girl LOVES to eat!

I just started Greydon on solids this week (rice cereal) and I can already tell the difference in his poops. Poor guy was struggling this morning after not going for a couple days. He's been a once a day man for quite a while, so I know it's the cereal. I'm thinking about starting veggies within the next couple days. He's loving the solids so far, so I figure, why not?? He's almost 5 months. Will be on the 18th...

Thanks for the BM after solids feedback, ladies.

Roman FINALLY went after four days. By far, the longest time b/w poops!

Now that he finally went, I am going to stop rice cereal. I think I'll start him on veggies and wait on the whole grains until six months.

Candy, what veggies did you start Maya on? I plan on making my own baby food too. I plan on starting him on avocado tomorrow.

Hey guys

We're in a similar place with Sammy and solids. We did rice cereal for a few weeks and now I'm doing oatmeal for a few more but waiting until closer to 6 months for veggies and fruits. She's still having poopies every day but she seems to work a little harder at it than she used to. I'm looking forward to trying the fun stuff like peaches and avocado! I feel that we're all pretty lucky to be introducing this stuff in the summer when everything is fresh (if you're doing homemade).
