We introduced our LO to solids yesterday morning, starting with yams mixed with some breast milk. He didn't love them but he put them in his mouth and sort of swallowed. This morning we tried again and he didn't even open his mouth really, basically flat out refused them. Should we continue offering him a little bit every day or just hold off for another week? We tried rice cereal last Saturday and it was a no-go so we waited until yesterday, and we did yams on the suggestion of my doctor because they're sweeter.
My friend, who has two kids, suggested I try the meal at mid-day instead of the morning because her DD who is the same exact age as my DS, doesn't eat at all really in the morning but will devour food at mid-day and dinner. We try solids an hour after breast milk feed, around 8am.
In a nut shell my two questions are; should we keep offering him small bits of food this week or wait a week? Also, should I try moving the meal to mid-day or just leave it at breakfast?
