my baby is 4months and a half, he doesn't seem to be full!! should I start him on baby food? ??

but also sometimes it just takes practice to get rid of the tounge reflex.... I say go for it you know your baby better then anyone. I would suggest skipping rice cereal a lot of new reach and a lot of PEDs reccomend against it now. it had no nutrional value, is constipating, hards on babies stomachs and its prooven that it doesn't help them sleep longer... it makes them stay fuller longer and they miss out on much needs nutrition.

@jesjes,

no tounge reflux, can sit up and hold head well, watches you, grabs at your food/wants to participate, can grasp things well with hands, has a chewing motion only way to know most is to just try.... if they tounge pushes food out or they dont gave a chewing motion they aren't ready

what are the signs? @mommyofaprincess220 I waited until my oldest was 6 months to feed him but this seems to eat more

@jesjes,

Is he showing the signs he's ready?

I started my daughter at 4 months cause she was showing all the signs she was ready. Every baby is different. but if he rejects it don't worry too much food before one is just for fun!
