Tricks for introducing solids to a stubborn baby

Yeah... you definitely can't expect her to eat it straight off.  Give her finger foods to play with and eventually she'll put one in her mouth and decide it's good to eat.  She'll do other things, too, like put them in her nose, drop them on the floor, throw them at the dog.  The key is to let her figure it out on her own.  It's the healthy way.

My wife got some off-brand organic Cheerios the other day after looking at the ingredient list on Cheerios and seeing that sugar was the third ingredient listed.  After telling me that I looked at the ingredient list on the organic ones and said, "The third ingredient in these is sugar, too."  And she looked and said, "No it's not, it says 'evaperated cane juice'."   ;D

ChadTower:

...from a bong.

There's nothing wrong with sugar.  I don't know why people think that there is.  *Moderation* is the key here. 

Straight sugar (sugared drinks and the like) - not so good.

Sugar as part of something (Cheerios) not a big deal.

Just make sure it's sucrose (which your body can break down easily) as opposed to fructose (which your liver has to break down).

And...not sucrALose...an artifical sweetner, which is really nasty stuff.

saint:
The problem with sugar with infants is setting their eating habits, not the effect of the sugar per se. Get a baby used to eating fruits and veggies and healthy food, they'll eat it. Get them hooked on junkier food, they don't like the healthy food so much anymore if at all.
