Hey Storm - they do say that becuase breast milk is sweet they can prefer sweet things. did you mix some breast milk in with it? If not try that or otherwise you could try a fruit first that is something a bit sweeter.
Sam seems to love anything, I did 4 days of just rice cereal then 2 days of a cube of pumpkin mixed with the rice cereal. Today I just did rice cereal as he seemed to have huge amounts of wind last night, slept fine most of the day but last night was awake til after 7.30pm after going down at 6pm and was crying a lot. He had a lot of wind and I guess it is just getting use to the food, although it is running it is different to liquid. He was gassy today and did 2 HUGE number 3's!!! Seems a bit better tonight and settled okay but I guess the extra fibre from the pumpkin too probably is working through his system.
Hayley is obviously interested in food which is why we started. Today my mother in law didn't have any milk and he cried after a few mouthfuls so maybe just water was something he didn't like?? I am no expert at all but hope something like that might help!!
