Arimeh, I was at one stage interested in BLS - but he's just hungrier than his coordination can feed. And no teeth yet.
I didn't know that bread/toast was ok at this age... which is probably stupid as there wouldn't be a huge amount of difference between bread and his teething rusks.
Trillian, did you use the Bellamys porridge, or is there another one out there? I'm starting to suspect it's the oats... judging from the smell, they can't taste too pleasant (it's one of the few items of his food that I haven't been able to bring myself to taste!)
We give ds toast crust (under close supervision) - he doesnt have teeth yet either but he likes to knaw at it. its time consuming watching him though. He also has jelna yoghurt most mornings with or without banana mashed in.
You could try some weet-bix, crumbled up with warm water or formula and then some jar fruit over stirred in... DS loves that. Initially I had to use lots of fruit, but now we are mostly milk and a little fruit for sweetness.
ETA - I used bellamys porridge for ages, and DS loved that too... And there is the apple cinnamon one too? I think... he liked that one sometimes...
I would give my DS wheatbix made up with formula, this is one of his favourates. I also tried youghurt, custard, you can also add babys fav fruits. I also gave baby porriage with mashed banana and/or avacado, or other fruits. We also gave fingers of toast +/-vegemite.
After we intorduced eggs, yolk first, I mixed the yolk with hot mashed potato and grated cheese. Now we do omlettes and scrambled eggs.
