Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hey Jodie, We are going to the Shriners in Greenville SC. We have been once before and we just love that place. Our 5 year old loves all the games and the kid friendly enviroment they have there. They really put kids first. We just moved from Waynesboro, PA 4 months ago. Do you live in PA? I had to go to burg alot for my last pregnancy. They monitored me weekly because was is small. Her head was huge but body small.. now all the peices are coming together! Anyway... You'll enjoy the Shriners. I had to wait a month for my appointment. Best of Luck, __________________________________ Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 , I would hold off on the baby food until you speak to the pediatrician. Most don't let babies start food at that young age. The only one I've heard about is rice cereal. That is frequently used as an additive to milk for those who have reflux. The thicker formula helps the food stay down instead of coming back up in your face. You also have to be careful with food allergies. Some kids develop food allergies if they are introduced to them too early. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 - first, again welcome to the group. I honestly would discuss starting solids with your physician first - whether or not your child has any type of diagnosis - it is always best to check with your physician. I know that our physician does not suggest trying baby food with babies until they are atleast 4 months old - as their digestive system is not yet prepared for it. However, I did start my now 3 1/2 year old on rice cereal at 3 1/2 months because he was STARVING all the time and the formula was not enough for him (he's currently in the 97th and 100th percentiles). My 2 1/2 year old, Ian, who has RSS was not able to even start solids until 8 months because he had food aversions and would gag between the ages of 6-8 months. I held him off on eating solids until around 5 months because he was so tiny, the physicians and I felt he needed the higher calories from formula - although - at that time - he did not have a diagnosis of RSS - had I known then what I know now - I would not have changed my decision to hold off on solid foods - but, I would have considered other measures to help him gain weight (such as not allowing him to sleep through the night beginning at 6 months of age). Let us know what you decide. - H > Hey everyone, > > I was wondering if you all think I should satrt baby > foods with my baby who is 3 1/2 months.
