Mel, don't beat yourself up hun. I only found out about honey by reading it in the forums here too! It's definitely better than sugar, so after 12 months go for it! I plan to as well. Thanks for the tips about the cereal that works for you - rice puffs was something I hadn't thought about. Unfortunate oat porridge is the stuff she is rejecting at the moment, so we've tried that.

MR - thanks again You have so much fantastic info that's really helpful. The info on the salt content is really handy and I'll use that as my benchmark. And I think that may be the best option that you suggested. Just to let it go for now, not stress about it, and try again in a week/few weeks etc., whichever cereal. I do understand that whilst still BF the solids are just for experience, hence I don't really want to keep pushing something she's not interested in, but I do need to let it go now and not stress about it so much, I guess. She's happy eating toast squares and some fruit at breakfast, so that's great and I should be happy with that. We haven't started red meat yet, but I was planning to start that in the next couple of days as we've got fish and chicken going well and I know the iron in the red meat will be great at this point.
