Best baby food to start with for exclusively breastfed babies? At what age did you introduce…

My kids weren't ready until 6-8 months, and then we did baby led weaning, so no baby food

So they just went straight from breast milk to table foods? @babes101116 I think that's what my older sister did.

Basically. My kids have mashed avocado first, and usually I nurse, feed, nurse. Then slowly (very slowly lol) add more food. Never introduce more than one food at a time in case of allergies.

I have a preemie, but due to his weight not catching up on strictly breastfeeding we started oatmeal cereal at 6 months actual (so he was actually only about 4 1/2 months adjusted (aka by his due date)). He has really enjoyed oatmeal cereal. I felt like that was a good starter food for him.

@babyjjsmommy, been ebf 6 months. Pediatrician told me to start at 4 months. Did applesauce, banana, green peas, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes and oatmeal in the am stage 1. At his 6 months visit on Wednesday she said I can start meats preferably not from the jar but cook and purée. She also said no fish, milk, eggs. At 8/9 months she said I can start milk in a sippy cup and Cheerios. I trust my pediatrician, did my research and I did pediatric nursing for a year. But everyone is different. I want to breastfeed for one year. That's my goal.

Be careful with avocado. They have a high fat content in them. I started with homemade carrots and butternut squash
