我依稀记得你说过你后悔太听医生的话，给你家顺顺添辅食太保守了。
能具体讲讲经验吗？你觉得应该何时添？如何添？添什么？
呼唤忧而不伤：关于给宝宝添辅食
来了，来了。我当时就像师太说的，太信书，立志要按美式科学方法养孩子，加上怕过敏，非常保守，对国内做法非常有批判精神。
青儿，你家宝宝5,6个月了吧？我现在的看法是，加辅食时间顺序方法可按书，从cereal开始，一样一样加，观察大便，只要消化好，没有过敏反应，就没问题。
蛋黄可以早加（我们3,4个月上就加了），煮白水蛋剥出来，压碎和奶喂。罐头婴儿食品，或自制蔬菜糊都可以一样一样来。如果你像我当初一样，
母乳质量下降，孩子又不喜欢配方奶，就不妨大胆点（当然是以孩子消化好不过敏）为前提，按书上的顺序，但可以稍提前。
顺顺11个月大时回国玩，我妈妈爸爸给他用鲫鱼汤蒸鸡蛋，排骨／蹄膀／肉汤煮蔬菜米饭／燕麦片，基本跟大人吃饭（当然开小灶+牛奶／酸奶）他都吃得很好。
回来后，15个月左右开始吃虾。还有，多带他出去玩，参加聚会（孩子都喜欢热闹）, 孩子大点送Day Care，和小朋友一起吃饭，胃口会好很多。
我自己从不强迫顺顺吃东西，他不吃就算了。但后来发现有时侯他不是吃饱了不要吃，而是有什么小地方他不满意（他比较讲究啦），比如，手抓饺子，
第一个吃完手脏了，需要把手擦干净，才吃第二个，如果你以为他不想吃了，
拿走，他也无所谓。又或者，吃一半，他想歇歇。
这些小习惯，每个孩子不一样所以要仔细观察，多试试。
总之，依靠科学，大胆心细，大家都是慢慢学习适应的。
It's purely personal choice. qinger, since your baby has no problem taking formular, don't rush her/him for solid food.
The goal of adding solid before 1 year old is to train the baby to chew food, not for any nutrition purpose. The major source of nutrition is definitely milk (breast milk or formular). Anything else is only supplemental. Solid food is just for fun at this stage.
Ruby, yes, frozen breast milk tastes terrible. But have you tasted formular? Not any better if not worse. Babies do not have a preference for taste. Their preference is developed subsequently after adding solid food. One side note about feeding previously frozen breast milk to baby: shake rigorously until it's well mixed. Breast milk is not homogenized and will settle into layers.
As for what solid food to add, I echo DeBeers. More conservative is better than any consequence. My mother-in-law didn't believe me when I said "not to add yolk before 9 months" and gave it to my daughter when she's 8 months. She then threw up everything she had and refused to eat anything for a couple of hours. She's almost 1.5 years old now and would not eat any egg -- even a tiny little amount mixed in her favorite rice.
The important thing is to make the baby drink milk, not to make him/her eat solid food. Babies cannot digest solid food or obsorb the nutrition effectively anyway.
