    My baby is 5.5 months old. Today I gave her Gerber stage 1 sweet potato as her first solid food. She had 1 small spoon quantity. One hour after eating she had curd like spit up with sweet potato also. Is this normal ? Experienced moms please advise.

    Spit-ups are normal.
    Rice cereal is the best first food.. You can also try others applesauce.. Most of the kids like applesauce and pears.
    My DS spit his first spoon of sweet potato's straight to my face.. (He is a "gourmand" :) To till date he hates sweet potato's .

    no problem.. you could try the same for 2 more days or try a different food.. it take 6-8 months for babies to get over the spit ups..

    Thanks NithaJ and Ranchu.
    Since the spit up had sweet potato (usually it would be white color) hence worried.

    @ilovemymom my LO also spit up initially with sweet potato. After giving for 2-3 days she started to love it.

    Hi ramya,
    What is double dip ?
    I took 1spoon from the box in a bowl and fed my baby. The rest of the food in the box I kept in the refrigerator.
