Tricks for introducing solids to a stubborn baby
Mr. Greenjeans:
Have you tried the gerber star shaped things that disolve? They turn to mush when they get wet, and they have a few diffrent flavors.
ChadTower:
Friskies!

I just had a baby girl last week and have been reading "The Baby Book" by William and Martha Sears ... Highly recommended and yeah I wouldn't worry until she's 8-9 months, at least according to the book. Until then, just mash stuff up and she'll get curious sooner or later. Maybe try using a fancy spoon. :)
Peale is correct about avoiding fructose as an ingredient. In its purified state, it is sent to the liver rather than the stomach and IMO is the reason why Americans are so obese and Europeans really aren't (they use Glucose syrup from vegetables rather than fructose from corn).
Congrats to all the BYOAC parents. You managed to do it despite wanting to build your own arcade controls and for that I salute you.
ChadTower:
Eh, my kids came chronologically first. :laugh2:

By the way, I assume all the new parents here know to never give their babies honey, yes? It carries botulism spores. Older kids and adults aren't affected, but babies can get sick (http://www.drgreene.org/body.cfm?id=21&action=detail&ref=1037).
