No I don't think so. It's the healthier option. Maybe compare?

@jasholbert, I was thinking of doing almond or coconut as well. Do you think it has a higher sugar /fat content tho? 🤔

I am not. So many people are lactose intolerant because we're not meant to forget it. I love milk but I'm quitting myself because I don't want her to want it. She doesn't ever need it. She probably won't get juice either. Just water. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tried almost milk and I only like the chocolate one but I may start her on an almond or coconut milk.

@jasholbert, I don't want that either , I don't even give him juice . Wow, are you planning on giving cows milk at 1?

We don't want her eating frozen foods or junk food or fast food or having sodas. We're not he o the crap that won't know what could be in it and we think we both and she has the MTHFR mutation meaning we're switching to a lot of gluten free and other things because it means your body doesn't absorb things normally and it's so hard.

@jasholbert, YESSS! No, I am totally with you on that. Now that he is sometimes interested in what I am eating I notice how horribly I eat because it's things I don't want to give him 😕

No problem. I don't mean to sound harsh either. ❤️ Something I'm having trouble with now is that we eat bad but I want her to eat well however that starts with you. You have to change your diet. He will see you eating something and if he gets something healthier he's going to be like wtf? We're working on it too. 😅

@jasholbert, yeah the baby cereal is oatmeal not rice . I'm gonna look in to making him smoothies also probably should start taking an iron supplement myself . thanks mama

@mommytokai, omg Dominic does that too. He's also got a fascination for the refrigerator so whenever I open it I gotta get things out quick ! Cause he'll be in there scavenging hahahaha

Lol well with him bfing that's where he's getting all of his nutrients, vitamins and proteins. Baby cereal may be high in iron but it's empty calories and does nothing else for him. Maybe check out regular flavored oatmeal? If you make your own fruit smoothie, toss a handful or leafy greens in and try to spoon feed it to him because leafy greens are super great but also likely hard for him to eat. Another option is for you to take an iron pill they can be found at the store by the vitamins.

@domsmama96, SAME! I can't blink when he's be himself lol last night he pulled all his wipes out 😩😩😩

@mommytokai, Aww yay! Same mama, crawling and standing up, he's getting into EVERYTHING. I can't leave him for a second lol

@jasholbert, I don't have a diet high in iron at all 😕 ugh I feel so bad. Ive just been trying to offer baby cereal cause it has iron . That's kind of one of the only foods he'll eat. I hope at his 1 yr he's not anemic .

@domsmama96, he's doing good, how's Dom? Kai is crawling and stands on his own 😩😩😩

As long as you eat a lot of iron or take supplements he'll be fine. If you can get him to eat liver, broccoli,kale and spinach, those have the highest iron. Maybe a smoothie or "ice cream" with kale or something? Broccoli and cheese? Just follow his cues and when he wants something, feed high iron. :)

@mommytokai, aww how is kai? Is he crawling yet?

@domsmama96, literally Kai is the exact same! He will not take anything but once I pick him up he will grab for my chichi to nurse

@mommytokai, he'll snack here and there , but won't want actual purees or anything I give him , but as soon as he's out of the highchair hes asking to nurse .

@jasholbert, 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess I'll just continue to offer it but won't push it. I was told they needed it because of the iron

He's likely going through a leap or growth spurt or even teething. Give him chichi. Solids ain't necessary. L only eats solids maybe every 3 days? If I'm eating she'll come up for a bite or two but she's not super interested.

Kai is the same!

I introduced them dissolvable waffers to my son when he first two teeth sprouted while still on baby foods and formula. He was 6 or 7 month maybe older

Just give. He might need comfort for teething or feeling bad etc

@domsmama96, they push solids early, but babies don't need solids until 1. That's why everyone is so overweight now. Especially cause he's breastfed you have nothing to worry about. I used to freak out too but then my daughters nurse who's job is with children under 2 told me it was okay, and that we don't have to force them to eat

@eryka616, I see all these babies eating solids , and snacking, and his ped and WIC are telling me he should be getting solids 3x a day. Stressing me out man.

Give him the chichi lol. They don't "need" solids until they're 1. Sorry that probably isn't helpful, but the milk gives him all the nutrients he needs. Sometimes my daughter doesn't eat for a day, but that's just kids for you.
