When did you start solids?

I started solids at 4.5 months old with my pediatrician's okay. How about you? And, what have you tried so far?

We started really close to 6 months. We started with rice cerial mixxed with EBM (expressed breast milk) wich gave her massive ammounts of gas so we switched to a multigrain cerial which was much better. Her first other food was carrots, she loved carrots up until about a week ago when she started to turn her nose up at them :).

I started Emma on solids a week before she turned 6 months old. We started with just rice cereal for a couple weeks and then slowly started introducing fruits & veggies.

I'm planning on waiting that long with Jacob also :)

Are there particular foods your babies liked/disliked?

I started Julian on cereal right around 4 months, with his pedi's blessing. At first he wasn't too thrilled with the cereal, like he wasn't quite sure what to make of it. But after about a month, month and a half, he decided solid food was good, and he couldn't eat enough of it! :lol:

As far as likes and dislikes, I don't think there's anything he won't eat, except maybe spinach (and I'm with him, I told him I wouldn't eat spinach unless someone mixed it with a lot of cheese and called it dip!). Otherwise, if it's on mama's plate, it must be good and he must have some of it!

...and I'm with him, I told him I wouldn't eat spinach unless someone mixed it with a lot of cheese and called it dip!... :laughing2 That's hilarious.

We also started solids around 4 1/2 months. I just went with my instinct since my ped. never said anything. We started with rice cereal and then oatmeal. She's had sweet potatoes (major diaper rash), carrots (loved them), peas (hated them), bananas (hated the jar but liked them when I made it), green beans (loves them - go figure...they smell awful), pears (eh, give or take), peaches (give or take) and applesauce (by far her favorite!).
