Misty - I know what you mean about the solids, I don't know what is going on with my Eleanor (I will revert to her full name so that you can use Ella which is only her nickname). I started plain farex at about 5 and a bit months and that was ok then I went to the pear and apple farex a couple of weeks later which she seems to really like because she opens her mouth for it.
When she hit six months I thought I better start vegies because she was eating so much farex (two tablespoons made up with warm water and almost all went down) and I felt bad that is all she was having. So I cooked all the vegies and I thought sweet potato because DS loved it, but she just blew raspberries and it came back all over me. I struggled through a couple of days, even mixed farex into it so it actually tasted like the pear and banana farex but looked like sweet potato, still didn't take it. I tried zuccini last night and got the same reaction.

I am so disappointed because I thought she would be a good eater since she took farex which babies don't normally like, so well. So now she is having a little bit of farex for breakfast and eats quite a bit at 5pm. I will have to buy another box.

Talking to my girlfriend from mother's group (the one I had dinner with last night) she reckons just keep going with farex because she seems to like it and try again later.
I am a bit worried because I really need Eleanor established on solids for when I go back to work (in 2 months), but I guess she just isn't ready.

Thanks to you and Kim for sharing what was happening with you, because now I feel a bit better about it all.

For anyone still BF - all of a sudden this last week I have more milk, yet Eleanor is feeding the same. Is anyone else having this?
